Steep Slope Roofing
Features
- Steep Slope roofing typically refers to roofing materials suitable for roofs that have slopes of 3:12 or greater.
- The slope of your roof will affect the materials used for covering the roof and the effortinvolved.
- Steeper roof pitches will likely require staging to ensure the crew’s safety, and that materials don’t slide during construction.
- Steep Slope roofs are available in a wide variety of coverings including: Asphalt Composition Roll, Fiberglass 3-Tab Shingle, Fiberglass Laminate Shingle, Specialty Asphalt Shingles, and Shingles, Clay and Concrete Tile, & Slate.
Benefits
- Steep slope roofing is lightweight which can be beneficial when the building structures are older.
- Despite their lightweight nature, steep slope roofing systems can withstand extreme temperatures and heavy winds.
- Many of the products used for a steep slope roof are made with recyclable materials.
- In some cases, owners of buildings with these slope roofs can receive credit from LEED or other green building programs
