The History and Progress of Roofing

Article Category: Advice

Author Name: Ginger Jackson

When you are building a home, one of the central elements is the roof. The home design will determine whether you have a ranch style roof, a gable roof, a hip roof, or dormers. Roofing has always been an aspect of home building, but the methods and materials have changed drastically over the years. In the early days, roofs were made primarily from mud and straw. When early American settlers built log cabins, they used mud and straw to seal the cracks between the wood logs to better insulate the home and keep the rain from soaking their interiors.

If you travel the world today, you will see many styles of roofing. In Africa, many huts are still built with mud and the roofs are covered in straw, with mud acting as a glue to hold it in place. You will also see homes that have large pieces of metal or tin stretched across the top of their huts.

In Central America, flat concrete roofs are quite popular. These serve multiple purposes. First, they provide an extra area for entertaining. When you travel to Belize or Costa Rica, you can sometimes see children playing on the roof or families hosting parties. This flat top area is a favorite place for entertaining, particularly in the evenings. Second, the flat concrete roofs act as a water collection system. When it rains, the water is collected in large vats and then filtered into a well type storage unit. Then it is used for cooking, cleaning, and bathing. The flat roof design is key for this water collection method.

In the United States, most homes have a traditional asphalt shingle roof. This kind of roofing lasts over the long term and it is easy to maintain. Of course, if you want something a little different from your neighbors, there are many options to consider. You could continue with asphalt shingle roofing, but use a different layout. Instead of using a traditional ranch style roof, you could add a hip roof or a gable to add a different look.

Another option is to create a Terra Cotta tile roof. This is a beautiful touch for a Spanish style home. To give your home that northeastern bungalow feel, choose cedar shakes for roofing. This is a beautiful style that many Americans are choosing for new construction homes. You could also choose to metal roof. They are very economical and create a beautiful sound when it rains.

Overall, there are dozens of roofing choices. Ultimately, you have to decide which one is right for you and go from there. Whether you choose asphalt shingles, cedar shakes, terra cotta tile, or metal, invest in a high quality roof and you will reap the rewards for years to come.
