Rubber roofing is manufactured from rubber or plastic polymers, or a combination of both materials. They are considered eco-friendly since rubber roofs are usually made from recycled tires, slate dust and sawdust. This type of roof is also highly reliable since they are designed with more impenetrable sealing that reduces leaking.
For a closer look at rubber roofing, Tango & Gatti shares more advantages of this type of roof system.
Weather Resistance
Whether you opt for rubber shingles or rolls, you can expect this roof material to be strong and durable. Rubber roofing is also less susceptible to cracking in extreme weather than asphalt roofing. Generally, it is considered ideal for flat or low-pitch roofs because it offers better protection against water damage than traditional shingles.
Energy Efficiency
If you are keen on having an energy-efficient roof, your roofing contractor will likely recommend a rubber roof system. Rubber roofs are excellent in trapping heat and reflecting the sun’s rays, so they can help in regulating your home’s cooling and heating.
Aesthetic Appeal
Rubber roofs can add aesthetic value to your home’s exterior. They don’t have many seams, so you can create a sleek design that actually has some practical benefits too (fewer seams means better resistance to water).
Less Maintenance
Rubber roofs don’t require much when it comes to maintenance. The most that needs to be done with this type of roof is reapplying acrylic paint after every 10 years. And if your rubber roof develops a leak, the fix is often simple and affordable. Sometimes liquid rubber or a special repair tape could do the trick.
