Up and Coming Trends in Roofing

Roofing has come a long way since its early days of thatched roofs thousands of years ago, and it continues to advance every year. As roofing technology progresses, sustainability, affordability, and aesthetics have come to the forefront of discussions regarding roofing choices.

As the roofing business continues to evolve, these are a few of the up-and-coming trends in roof design:

Eco-Friendly Roofs

Environmentalism has increased the desire for functional and sustainable roofs that not only protect buildings, but also positively impact the environment and world around them. Solar materials, cool roofs, and green roofs continue to become increasingly popular. These types of roofs/materials utilize energy conservation technology or even legitimate plant life to be more eco-friendly.

Synthetic Roofing Materials

Synthetic roofing materials, made up of plastics, rubber, polymers, and several other organic materials, have become increasingly popular as a more durable and eco-friendly option for consumers. These synthetic composite products often last longer than other traditional roofing options and avoid the usage of raw materials. Furthermore, synthetic shingles present an affordable option for home owners.

New Roofing Styles

As opposed to traditional roof styles, more and more frequently consumers are utilizing unique architectural choices for their home roofs. These include somewhat unconventional flat or skillion roofs, as well as an increased number of curves and arches. Oftentimes homeowners will mix and match roofing materials and/or styles to create modernistic and aesthetically pleasing homes.

Aesthetics

Compared to past decades, it appears to be a trend that modern day roofs are now used as not only a layer of protection for a home or building, but also a work of art for living spaces. Light and neutral colored roofs have become more commonplace and are often mixed with darker roofing materials to create contrast atop buildings.

As consumers continue to follow new and modernized roofing trends, it’s as important as ever to consult a roofing professional to choose the right design and materials to guarantee customer satisfaction every time.As an independent owner-advocate, BTA uses cutting-edge technology and expertise to find safe ways to prolong roof life.
