Roofing Trends for 2022
As we begin 2022, now is the perfect time to schedule a roof inspection and ensure it will protect your home for another year. If your roof has been damaged or is dated, don’t wait to replace it. Before you begin the roof replacement process, take a look at modern roofing trends projected to dominate the roofing industry in 2022 to see if they are right for your new roof.
Eco Friendly Roofing
A prominent roofing trend emerging in 2022 is environmentally friendly roofing choices. This includes recyclable roofing material that doesn’t contribute to roofing landfill waste. Solar roofing material is another option that is growing in popularity. These eco-friendly roofing options can also help lower your utility bill and reduce your carbon footprint.
One energy efficient roofing element is solar panels, which help with energy conservation. However, if solar panels take away from your home’s curb appeal, photovoltaic shingles are a new alternative. Photovoltaic shingles have the appearance of traditional asphalt shingles and the function of solar panels.
Home and business owners are also turning to cool roofs that either reflect or absorb energy. Making a cool roof is fairly simple, roofers will add a coating over your roofing material that reflects radiant heat and helps you save money on your energy bills. This coating comes in a variety of shades so you do not have to sacrifice appearance for sustainability.
Metal Roofs
Metal has become one of the most popular roofing materials due its longevity. While the initial cost may be more than other roofing materials, a metal roof will last decades and does not need to be replaced every 10 or 15 years. Metal roofs are made from recyclable materials and can be recycled if replaced. They are energy efficient and weather resistant, making them a durable choice. Not only do metal roofs give your home a polished look, they also come in a wide variety of colors and styles so the possibilities are endless.
Asphalt Shingles
Over the years, roofing trends have varied but one option that stays in the forefront is asphalt shingles. This material is appealing to homeowners because of its affordability, flexibility and reliability. Did we mention the color choices are seemingly unlimited? Whatever hue is right for your home, you are sure to find an asphalt shingle to match your taste.
Contrasting colors
In previous years, choosing a shingle color that blends into your home or neighborhood was common practice. As manufacturers create a wider color variety for roofing materials, homeowners have more options than ever. Modern color selection trends include contrasting the color of your roof with the color of your house. If you have a light colored siding then you would install a dark color roofing material and vice versa.
These 2022 roofing trends show that environmentally friendly materials are on the rise. Homeowners want a roof that is durable, cost efficient and customizable to their personality. If it’s time for a replacement, contact Elite Roofing and Restoration to get the roof you’ve always dreamed of.
