It\nis recommended that you use the same type of material as the one in place to do\nyour repairs. This ensures a smooth blending of the old and the new. This also\ndepends on your geographical location as each type of material is best suited\nfor specific climatic conditions. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Iron\nsheets, for instance, should not be used in areas experiencing a large amount\nof acidic rain as this will quickly corrode the roof. Instead, ceramic tiles\ncan be used since they are resistant to corrosion by acids.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The\ntype of material used also affects the durability of the roof. Metallic\nmaterials such as those made of steel are very durable and also fireproof.\nThough they might be more expensive in comparison to other materials such as\nthose made of wood, they are cost-effective as they last longer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You\nshould also make a choice based on your style or taste. For example, you can\nchoose to use slate for its appealing nature although they are slippery hence\nrequiring extra caution during repairs. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
