Many fashion-savvy homeowners will likely be up-to-date on the newest trends of home designs and will probably do their best to keep up with the times and improve their homes. As usual, the roofs will likely be the last thing on a homeowner’s mind as they stay content that they’re sufficiently protected without considering the current state of their roofing.
Not having the right roof can make the difference between shelling out a significant amount of money on repairs and replacements and taking full advantage of the protection afforded by the roof for years to come. The year 2020 will see newer roofing materials taking the spotlight alongside materials that have been trusted for years, and homeowners must know what they are so that they can save money in the long run.
Tried and Tested Asphalt Shingles
Among the most reliable roofing options available for homeowners that won’t likely go away anytime soon is asphalt roofing. Asphalt shingles have been in use among many homeowners for decades now, and the fact that many homes still use them shows how long-lasting they are. Many people might continue getting brand new asphalt shingles for their roofs due to how affordable they are.
Timeless Metal Roofs
Another popular roofing option that many homeowners will likely be using for years to come is metal roofing. The main reasons why people use metal roofs are their durability and aesthetic appeal. Homeowners can also have customized metal roofs since they can select from a wide range of styles, types, and colors when getting a metal roof. Homeowners can get the roof that they want even though they were initially only achievable through other materials.
Energy Efficient Solar Roofs
Among the newer roofing options for people are solar roofs, which can allow homeowners to save on their electricity bills. The first solar shingle models may have been clumsy, energy inefficient, and expensive, but newer ones can now function efficiently and just like traditional roofing materials. Solar roofs may still be a bit pricey, but at least you’ll be able to save on your energy bills in the long run.
Eco-Friendly Green Roofs
Green roofs are another popular roofing option, especially among eco-friendly homeowners. Green roofing has the advantage of helping the environment while protecting your roof from the harmful effects of acid rain. Green roofs also have an insulating factor that can contribute to lowering your energy bill.
Light-colored Roofs to Replace Darker Ones
2020 will also see more people using roofs with lighter colors. The reason why people will go for light-colored roofs is that many people are already getting tired of seeing the same old dark-colored roofs on their homes. Dark and brown roofs might not go out of style anytime soon, but more and more light-colored roofs are being produced, and this can contribute significantly to its popularity.
Minimalistic Flat Roofs
One last roofing material that will surely become popular come 2020 is flat roofs, mainly thanks to the minimalistic approach that the roofing style has. Flat roofs are also easier to install and are safer than other roofing materials.
