Tile roofs are traditionally made from materials like slate & terracotta, and sometimes cement. There is generally a felt underlayment under most tile roofs with wooden tile-hanging sticks atop the felt paper. We use double underlayments on ALL roofs for maximum durability. How long do tile roofs usually last for? Typically most tile roofs last 15-20 years depending on conditions and underlayment types.
Generally flat roof coatings are done with elastomeric coatings, asphalt coatings, & silicon coatings. Here at Simon Roofing we offer elastomeric roof coatings & silicon roof coatings under certain conditions. We offer a durable cloth membrane sandwiched in-between layers of coating for a strong-stretchable flat roof. How long do flat roofs usually hold up? Typically flat roofs need re-coated every 5 years.
Shingle Roofs usually consist of individual lapping shingle elements that are most times flat rectangles. These shingles are laid out in courses from the bottom-edge of the roof to the top of the roof, with each row successfully overlapping the last. How long do shingle roofs usually last? Depending on the type of shingle, most last anywhere from 20-30 years.
