A Basic Overview of Roofing Components

Renovating your roof can be a stressful process whether you are just installing new insulation or installing entirely new shingles.  There are several elements that go into renovating a roof, including roof specialists that are highly skilled in the craft.  However, it is important that you have some understanding of roofs so that you can make the best decision.  If you want to start to learn about roof, you should know the all of the components that come together to form a roof.

Underlayment

The protective layer that is placed between the plywood and the shingles on your roof is called the underlayment.  It protects a roof from the elements so that you will never have to worry about heavy rain damaging your roof. It is common for a waterproof membrane to be combined with the underlayment to provide as much protection as possible.

Flashing

One of the most important elements to any roofing design is the flashing because it diverts water away from the home.  Pieces or sheets of metal are constructed on a roof to prevent water from pooling in one spot. Flashing can be made out of a variety of materials including stainless steel, alloy, and copper.  The professionals at DiBello Roofing are experienced in working with a variety of materials to ensure that waters doesn’t damage your roof.

Shingles or Tiles

The outermost layer of a roof consists of shingles or tiles, and is the layer homeowners are most familiar with.  They sit on top of the underlayment and absorb the most damage from the elements. So, it is essential that you take your time when choosing shingle or tile materials because you want to choose the most durable.  Popular shingle materials include asphalt and metal. The professionals at DiBello have experience in installing any type of shingle in an efficient manner.
