Asphalt & Tile Roofing History
12/28/2015
West Covina roofing needs to be able to stand up to the elements over time. This means being able to withstand lots of direct sun and high temperatures, as well as rainy and damp winters.
Clay Tiles
Clay tiles are one of the oldest roofing materials and are still a popular choice today. Clay tiles are still available using the same materials and techniques that have been in use for centuries; synthetic and light-weight tiles are also available. Clay tile is a natural insulation that reflects a lot of sunlight.
Asphalt Shingles
Asphalt shingles entered the market in the early 20th century, and quickly became the most popular roofing choice for their light-weight durability and improved fire resistance over wooden roofs. Asphalt shingles have come a long way, and are now available in a variety of solar-reflective colors. To learn more about solar roofing and how it works, visit our cool roofing page.
Solar Roofing
Solar Roofing is a new on the scene compared to clay tiles and asphalt shingles, but it’s one of the most impressive roofs available and tops the charts on energy efficiency. Solar roofing goes beyond simply reflecting the sun and venting heat, it actually absorbs the sunlight that hits your roof and turns in into energy for your home. Solar roofing is perfect for climates with a lot of direct sun.
