Roofing
The roofing on your roof is an important part of the waterproofing, insulation and appearance of your home or property. So it’s important to think carefully about the different options and which option is best for your project. The different types of roofing for both flat and pitched roofs and the average cost for them are covered on this page.

Different types of roofing
The choice is vast, especially when we look at types of roofing. For both flat and sloping roofs you can have the roofing material installed according to your wishes in order to achieve the desired appearance and waterproofing/insulation. There is a difference in possibilities between flat and sloping roofs. The possibilities, characteristics and corresponding prices can be found in the paragraphs below.
Roofing sloping roof
The possible types of roofing for your pitched roof are:
-
Roof tiles
This is the most common form of roofing on private homes. Roof tiles are usually made of clay or concrete and provide sturdy protection to the roof. -
Slate roofing
This form of roofing consists of individual overlapping elements. The most commonly used types of slates are bitumen, plastic and natural slates. -
Roofing sheets
An increasingly common alternative to tiles is roofing sheets. It is an inexpensive form of roofing that can be installed quickly and is also available with insulation. -
Thatched roofing
Generally we see the number of thatched roofs decreasing, but in a rural home or property the very thatched roof gives extra character to the property. The treatment of thatched roofing is very specialized work. -
Zinc roofing
This roofing material consists largely of zinc with a small amount of titanium and copper added. Zinc roofing is flexible and pliable, but is chosen primarily for its durability. -
Green roof
A green roof is a roof covered with (green) plants. A major advantage is the good insulation offered by this form of roofing and, of course, this choice is entirely environmentally friendly and the option to combine with solar panels is also available. -
Roof Shingles
Roof shingles (popularly called roofing shingles) is a popular roofing material. Shingles are made of bitumen, these bitumen shingles are provided with chippings in a certain color. You often see a shingles roof on gazebos.
Roofing flat roof
The different types of roofing that the experts at Roofers 24/7 work with in the case of a flat roof:
-
Bitumen roofing
Over the years, the use of bitumen roofing has increased dramatically. The most common type is polymer-based bitumen, such as SBS and APP. These materials are very strong and resistant to cracking because they are coated with fiberglass or polyester. APP is resistant to high temperatures and UV light, which is why this material can be used well without finishing with a ballast layer. SBS sticks better than APP, but is more sensitive to high temperatures and sunlight. SBS is additionally finished with a protective layer to allow application without a ballast layer. -
EPDM roofing
This form of roofing is very durable and lasts up to 30 years. EPDM is a type of synthetic rubber and can be placed on the roof in one custom-made piece. The specialists at Roofers 24/7 glue the EPDM sheet onto the roof or attach it using hot air. In the latter option, special EPDM foil is attached to the inside of the sheet, when heated this becomes liquid and the EPDM sheet can be attached. The disadvantage of EPDM is that there can be problems with the seams and connection of the edges. -
PVC roofing
Another form of synthetic roofing is PVC. PVC is a plastic film available in rolls. Our specialists attach the PVC in overlapping strips with glue or by hot air. While this type of roofing is more sensitive to UV rays and sunlight, the seam and edge connections are often better than with EPDM. PVC roofing can also be used on top of an existing layer of bitumen if a special foil is used. -
Green roofing
A green roof is usually insulated using PVC roofing membrane combined with a fiberglass reinforcement. This protects the membrane from root growth.
