What are the common coverings used in residential roofing?

Residential roofing is completely different from commercial roofing. And uses different materials too. Here are some of the most commonly used coverings in residential roofing:

  1. Asphalt Shingles: It consists of two kinds of base materials – organic and fiberglass. It is fit for places where the weather isn’t very radical.
  2. Slate Shingles: Slates sheets are a sophisticated and upscale kind of roofing material made from concrete. They are costly and heavy thus require high expertise on installation.
  3. Metal roofing:  Metal shingles are low maintenance, lightweight, and environmentally friendly, giving them plenty of upsides. They’ve also proven to be quite durable.
  4. Wood shakes:  Cedar shake roofs use wood shingles made up of split logs. Since they’re mostly wood, and since every shingle is of slightly varying size, they have a really distinct and natural look to them.

Codes that Govern Roofing
There are two model building codes that form the basis of almost all of the building codes in the United States.

The International Residential Code for One- and Two-Family Dwellings (IRC) covers one- and two-family homes of three stories or less, and the International Building Code (IBC) covers all other buildings.
