Earth has five distinct climate zones, including tropical, dry, temperate, continental, and polar. The U.S. is the only country in the world with all five of them. This means that different U.S. states do better with roofing materials personalized to their climate rather than a one-size-fits-all solution.
Certain types of roofs, such as asphalt and metal roofs, are typically recommended for those in colder climates. Other types of roofs, like concrete and clay roofs, are often better options for those in warmer climates. Very few roofing materials perform well in both.
Brava Roof Tiles are different, though. They're designed to exceed expectations regardless of climate. Figure out which Brava product will perform best for your home's climate below and obtain a free sample of the option you like most.
Wood Shakes vs Brava Cedar Shakes
Wood cedar shake roofs are popular among homeowners in cooler parts of the country interested in giving their homes more natural looks. But they're difficult to maintain when they're routinely subjected to fire, snow and ice.
Brava Cedar Shakes can come in handy in colder climates. These synthetic cedar shakes can give your home a more natural appearance while also adding insulation, durability, and weather resistance. You won't need to worry about snow, ice, or even wind wreaking havoc on your home's roof anymore.
At the same time, those with homes in warmer climates can also consider Brava Cedar Shakes. Many states have banned the installation of real wood shake roofs due to their Ignitability. Brava Roof Tiles are made out of a unique blend of compressed recycled plastics and other sustainable materials, that are available in both a class A and C fire rating, and have a class 4 impact rating. They're an eco-friendly, beautiful alternative to traditional wood shakes that boasts superior durability and longevity.
Slate Roof Tile vs Brava Old World Slate Tiles
Traditional slate roofing tiles have earned a reputation for providing great results in both cold and warm climates. They're resistant to freezing in the winter, especially when new insulation is installed underneath them. They also don't absorb heat from the sun quickly, so they can create the perfect roof for those who live in warmer places.
The issues that stop traditional slate roofs from appealing to more homeowners is that they're very heavy and on the more expensive side. This is where Brava Old World Slate Tiles, which are made to look just like traditional slate shingles, can work wonders for homes in any climate.
Brava Old World Slate Tiles consist of the same combination of compressed recycled plastics and other sustainable materials as Brava Cedar Shakes. As a result, they can provide:
Better insulation in extremely hot and cold temperatures
Improved energy efficiency (no more running your HVAC system 24/7)
Increased roofing material strength for weather resistance
You'll also love the way your roof design looks when you utilize Brava Old World Slate Tiles. They can provide your house with a higher-end appearance without costing a fortune.
Spanish Roof Tile vs Brava Spanish Barrel Tiles
Mediterranean-style homes are sought after in certain pockets of the country. Those living in warmer states like California, Florida, and Texas tend to love these types of roofs because they match the local architecture and produce a tropical or desert-like ambiance.
But did you know you don't necessarily need to live in a warmer climate to enjoy a Mediterranean-style home? At least, you won't have to when you decide to use Brava Spanish Barrel Tiles.
These Brava Roof Tiles are designed to look just like the much heavier Spanish barrel tiles used to create Mediterranean-style homes. However, they're available at a fraction of the cost in the long run, and weigh less so they won't harm your home's structure.
Similar to Brava Cedar Shakes and Brava Old World Slate Tiles, these roofing tiles are also made using compressed recycled plastics and other sustainable materials to make them ideal for any climate. Whether you live in one of the warm-weather states we just mentioned or you're situated in a colder part of the country, they can deliver unmatched durability, insulation, and weather resistance to your home.
