Since the material can be fixed on truss structure the overall weight of roofing is reduced. One tile of 6 Square feet area weighs around 3 Kg only.




2. ASPHALT SHINGLES (₹₹₹)











Asphalt shingles will last for about 15–50 years. They are, far and away, the most popular roofing material because of their cost effectiveness. When it comes to durability, though, be careful. Never choose the cheapest asphalt shingles, even if cost is a major issue for you.Unfortunately, asphalt is a petroleum-based material. This means that it’s not the most sustainable roofing material option available.
