Roofs are a symbol of protection and safety, but they’re also much more than that. In many ways, roofs help create an identity for your home and your family.
From the roof shape to the roofing materials, every detail says a lot. That's why choosing a custom roof shape and materials is important––and what makes Brava your perfect solution!
Why Materials Matter
To have a customized roof shape that stands out, you need to use quality materials that work to compliment the house as a whole. The roofing materials should enhance your home’s architecture—no matter the style—fit into the environment, and align with your overall personality.
In short, the shape of your roof and the roofing materials you use should collaborate together, impacting your home’s look and feel.
And having the wrong roof shape with the wrong roof style can negatively impact your home’s appearance.
Brava Makes It Happen
When it comes to your roof, you should have two things:
High-quality protection
Stunning beauty
While options like natural cedar shakes, clay tiles, and slate have beauty and offer protection, they aren't perfect.
Cedar shakes require regular, expensive maintenance and are susceptible to mold and rot. Even with fire retardants, they are not allowed in many areas.
Slate and clay tiles, on the other hand, may chip and become brittle and are incredibly difficult to install—not to mention, expensive.
The Solution? Using Brava’s to Create a Custom Roof Shape
That's where Brava comes in. We are a standout in the roofing industry and one of the top composite roofing companies on the market. Our tiles, made of 100% recycled materials, are created using state-of-the-art compression molding technology in order to create a product that offers every roof shape a durability level far above the competition.
To prove it, extensive third-party testing has been performed and has given Brava products the highest wind, fire, and hail certifications possible.
While other company's colors will fade over time, our patented Brava Colorcast mineral-fusion process ensures that the colors will remain as vibrant as the day they are installed. Furthermore, our technology helps capture each product's nuances to create the texture and dimension you'd expect in their natural counterparts, with no two tiles the same.
Options For Every Style
However, as we mentioned before, your roof—and the shape of your roof—should have high-quality protection and stunning beauty in mind. To show you what we mean, here are some examples:
Grand Tudor
This grand suburban Tudor custom roof has all the classic features you'd expect: brick masonry, half-timber siding, and a steep main gable with cross-hipped and cross-mansard sections.
The beautiful gray Brava Cedar Shakes complete the look, with the varying shades of each tile tying perfectly with the half-timber siding. It creates an inviting exterior for a property that fits perfectly in any neighborhood.
Hipped Roofs
A custom hipped roof adds a touch of elegance, drama, and history to almost any home, and it’s one style that many homeowners are proud to have that reflects their personality.
The house in the image above is a great example of how varying light and dark gray hues of the shakes can contrast with the vibrant brick chimneys and light brown smooth stucco siding.
Colonial
Colonial roof shapes are some of the oldest in the country, and this home is a perfect example. When you have this roof shape, your house can have a classic gambrel and gable roof with dormers
It also gives your home a traditional appearance in any suburban neighborhood—or even by a beach or waterfront.
American Colonial
This American Colonial is another beautiful roofing shape, one that establishes you from your neighbors with a grand presence.
To make it more pronounced, like the image above, you can have a light brick exterior and a hip and clipped gable roof with tall front columns. The roof shape usually exudes luxury while still providing you the ability welcomingly invite individuals into your home.
Combination of Everything
To truly show a sense of character, you can create a roof that combines shapes: gable roofs, hip roofs, and circular roofs.
The rustic log and masonry siding of the home above also helps create the rustic appearance you'd expect for such a setting.
The dark slate roof, however, adds a slight modern and elegant touch. It could be easy to infer that, if you were the homeowner, you would like the peace and quiet of living in a wooded area while also enjoying modern amenities.
