With a new year comes new trends – even trends for commercial roofing. You heard that right! Today we want to go over some roofing trends that are expected to increase in popularity in 2021. If it comes time to replace your roof, keep these trends in mind.
Mixed Material Roofing
Combining Hybrid metal and shingle roofs is one of the latest roofing trends. The combination of metal roof panels and laminated shingles on separate pitched roof sections delivers the visual explosion of a metal roof at a much lower cost.
Solar Panels and Solar Shingles
Increasing your home’s energy efficiency, minimizing your carbon footprint and saving on your energy bills makes “going solar” very appealing to many people. Technology has allowed solar roofing to become a much more legitimate option for the homeowner. Modern solar panels look very stylish, energy efficient and is more affordable than in the past.
The cost of solar has fallen dramatically in recent years, but it is still by no means a cheap solution. As the technology continues to improve, you can expect the benefits to increase and the costs to go down even more. California is one of the top states in the country for offering considerable state and federal solar incentives.
Cool Roofing
One of the most popular trends for residential homes is cool roofing. Cool roofs have the ability to reflect the visible, infrared and ultraviolet wavelengths of the sun, whereby reducing the heat transfer to the building. It also has the ability to radiate absorbed, or non-reflected solar energy. The best thing about this technique is it can be applied to a variety of roofing materials, colors, and designs to not only enhance curb appeal but fit a person’s unique style. A cool roof can significantly improve your energy efficiency, reduce power bills and reduce wear and tear on your HVAC system.
Metal Roofs
There has been a steep rise in the popularity of metal roofing materials. This is definitely a trend that isn’t going away. Metals roofs give homeowners a chance to achieve the exact look they want since there are a lot of styles, types and colors to choose from. Metal is stylish and has a long lifespan without needing any regular maintenance. Homeowners can also save money with metal because it is highly reflective and insulative whereby reducing heating and cooling costs.
Since many homeowners are concerned with the environment, metal roofing is appealing because it contains high percentages of recycled content.
Concrete Roofing
Most homeowners want style, texture and durability so they don’t have to worry about costly roof repairs. With concrete tiles, you can expect durability and versatility.
