What Material for Roof?

At the moment, we have used most of the possible roofing materials including tiles, fiber cement plates and metal sheets. With modern materials it is much of a appreciation since all these materials work perfectly if installed right.

One can save money in short term choosing metal roof. It will last 15-25 years. If one desires a more long-lasting roof, quality tiles can be used. Tile roof requires more from the structure and therefore is more expensive but it also can last for the next 50+ years. There are many kind of tiles, cheapest not really providing much more than a metal roof would but quality ones are nice and long-lasting.

Fiber cement plates are also an option. They are maybe a bit more quiet during rain than metal sheeting and replacing a broken sheet is relatively easy.

I personally see the question of roof being more about heat insulation than the material. In tropical climate shadow and proper insulation in modern housing is a necessity and one can save a fair deal of money insulating the roof properly. In the long run it will save money.
