Ottawa Roofing Shingles

Asphalt

• Most popular choice because it is inexpensive


• Shortest lifespan of the major roofing materials


• Least environmentally friendly – asphalt is made with petroleum, which is a major contributor to global warming, and recycling for asphalt is rare so most end up in our landfills

Cedar (“Organic”)

• Most expensive due to not only the material, but especially because of labour & installation costs


• Slow installation since each shingle is nailed to the roof, usually by hand


• High in maintenance because you want to keep it as dry as possible


• May need to add a fire deterrent


• Time & weather will reduce performance


• “Organic” because they can be composted

Fiberglass

• High durability because it absorbs less moisture & is more resistant to heat


• Usually holds up better if a roof has poor ventilation


• More resistant than organic

Metal Roofing Shingles Ottawa

Metal

• Not cheap, but worth the investment as it lasts 2-3x longer than asphalt


• Easy to install


• Fire-resistant


• Excellent durability


• Environmentally friendly – recyclable, some are even made from recycled metal

Rubber

• Environmentally friendly – made from recycled rubber


• Excellent lifespan


• Aesthetically pleasing – manufactured to look like either slate or concrete

Lastly, no matter which type of shingle you choose, for either preference, environmental or financial reasons, quality is key when it comes to the shingles you use. A high quality is always best to choose. It is better to have high-quality asphalt shingles than low-quality fiberglass or cedar shingles. You also should make sure that they are properly installed in order for your roof to last. If it’s improperly done, it will not last; if it’s done right, you only need to do it once.
