A residential roof is more than the exterior layer of shingles or tiles; it is an entire system that includes several different components – all working together to protect your house.  The Aurora roofing companies have experts who can efficiently install new roofing systems.

• The resistance structure – the frame – is directly influenced by the type of roof that is to be installed, by its weight, by the existence of an attic under the roof etc. and can be made of wood (this is still the most common material), metal or concrete.
• The layer of thermal insulation – is an important component, especially if you want to use the attic as a living space. The insulation can be made of glass or basalt mineral wool, expanded or extruded polystyrene, thermal insulation films and foams.
• Protective films – There are 2 types: vapor barrier films (which are installed inside, on the warm side of the thermal insulation) and waterproof films (for protection against accidental water infiltration under the roof cover).
• The cover – is actually the exterior layer of the roof and can be made of several types of materials.
• Gutters and downspouts – these two components form the pluvial system of a residential roof, helping to collect rainwater and preventing it from leaking down on the façade. Safe evacuation of rainwater from the roof also reduces the ice dams and icicles formation, in the cold period of the year.
• Various accessories, as well as fastening elements.
