Wood Shingle
These are sawn from wood bolts such as red cedar
and have an average life expectancy of about 30
years. The use of wood shingle is now mainly
limited to building restoration because of its
durability, weather-proofing and low costs.

Slate
This one has a pretty high cost in comparison in
comparison to wood shingles and has an average
life expectancy of around 80 to 400 years. The
highest quality slates usually come from
Australia, Wales and a few specific areas in
Spain.

Asbestos Shingles
This one was one of the choicest roofing
materials of our Calgary roofing company because
of a number of reasons. They have a very long
life span and are also fireproof at the same
time. But currently, their popularity has
decreased a lot because of health issues. Hence,
we have also more or less discarded the use of
asbestos shingles for roofing purposes unless
were asked to do so in special circumstances.

Ceramic tiles
These are costly indeed but they do have a high
average life of more than 100 years which is
something comes almost guaranteed with them.
There are usually four types of ceramic tiles
that are used for roofing purposes Imbrex and
tegula, Dutch roof tiles, Monk Nun, Mangalore
tiles.

Membrane Roofing
Membrane roofing is usually done through the aid
of large sheets that are fused in some way at the
joints to create a continuous surface. Some of
the types of membranes used are EPDM rubber,
thermoplastics, asphalt roll roofing and
bituminous waterproofing. The longevity of
membrane roofing usually varies according to the
climate and use.
