Roof types
Roof types generally are divided into generic classifications: low slope and steep slope. Low slope roofing is more common in commercial settings and steep slope roofing is more often used for residential roofs.
Low-slope roofing
Most low-slope roof membranes have three principle components:
- Weatherproofing layer or layers
- Reinforcement
- Surfacing
With some low-slope roof systems, a component may perform more than one function.
Steep-slope roofing
Steep-slope roof systems typically are composed of individual pieces or components installed in shingle fashion. Steep-slope roof assemblies typically consist of three primary parts:
- Roof deck
- Underlayment
- Roof covering
Below are presented most commonly used roof coverings.
Roof Shingles
Roof shingles are a roof covering consisting of individual overlapping elements.
These elements are typically flat rectangular shapes laid in rows from the bottom
edge of the roof up, with each successive higher row overlapping the joints in the
row below.
Roof shingles are considered to be the one of the most economical roofing material. Your San Antonio TX Roofing Contractor will normally honor the 25 yr or 30 yr manufacturers warranty. Quality Roofing Contractors uses quality GAK/ELK products.
Quality Roofing Contractors has years of experience repairing and installing shingle roofs. Please call us today!
Composition Roofs
Fiberglass composition is the most common roofing choice in this area for residential
homes and comes in a variety of colors and styles. Composition shingles have a fiberglass
reinforcing mat at the center. This mat is coated with asphalt and mineral fillers.
The fillers adhere to the fiberglass and the asphalt surrounds the structure, making
it waterproof. Its top surface is embedded with a layer of ceramic granules.
Composition roofing falls into three major categories:
- 3-Tab Composition roofing comes with manufactures' warranties of 20, 25 and 30 years.
- Laminates come with manufacturers' warranties of 30, 40 and 50 years
- Premium Shingle Manufacturers' warranties can be as long as 50 years or Lifetime.
Quality Roofing Contractors is experienced with all types of composition roofing. We can assist you in making the correct choice for your roof project or repair in San Antonio TX area. Please give us a call!
Roofing Tiles
Roofing tiles can be ceramic (e.g., clay fired at a high temperature) or fabricated
from cement concrete. Some of the lighter types use fibers (e.g., cellulose) added
for strength. The color of a tile may be dispersed throughout, or it may be applied
in the form of a coating. Perhaps the most venerable type of roof tile is the Spanish
style red barrel tile made from fired clay. The modern version of this tile is sometimes
a cement tile with a suitable coating.
The following is a sample listing of a few of the types of tile roofs. Your San Antonio TX roofing contractor has experience with all types of tile roof.
Hollow tile:
Tile with curved drainage part. This type of tile is suitable for roof pitches down to 25�.
Hollow interlocking tile:
Tile with curved drainage part and a head interlocking. This type of tile gives an undulating effect to the roof and is suitable for low and high-pitched roofs. Minimum pitch (with underroof) between 22� and 25�, depending on the type of tile.
Slightly curved interlocking tile:
Tile with flat interlockings and flat drainage part. The tile has a nosing, which gives a slightly undulating effect to the roof. This type of tile is suitable for low and high-pitched roofs. Minimum pitch between 20� and 25� (with underroof), depending on the type of tile.
Flat tile with interlockings:
The drainage part has a central ridge, which creates a major mechanical resistance. The shape of the tile gives a slightly undulating effect to the roof. This type of tile is suitable for roof pitches down to 25� (with underroof).
Flat interlocking tile:
Flat tile with interlockings and flat drainage part. These tiles make the roof look flat. This type of tile is suitable for roofs with a minimum pitch in between 24� and 35� (with underroof), depending on the type of tile.
Plain tile:
Plain tiles are small flat tiles that are laid in broken bond. Because of the heavy overlapping, only 1/3 of each tile is visible. These tiles make the roof look flat. This type of tile is only suitable for roofs with a minimum pitch of 35� (with underroof).
