Does Sunlight Fade Roofing Material?

It is not uncommon to find yourself wondering if the sun will fade your roofing materials over time. In short, the answer is yes. However, there are many factors that go into how, when, and if your roof will fade. 

 

There are also a few ways to protect your roof from harmful UV rays as well. Below we are letting you know how to keep your roof safe from the sun.

What Types Of Roofs Fade The Fastest

 

When it comes to choosing the type of roof to put on your home, you may not essentially take into account the power of the sun. It is also important to note the natural outdoor environment of your home. Not all homes will receive the same amount of sunlight in any given year.

 

If you have decided to use shingles, you may want to consider picking a lighter color. This is because the darker shades will have the highest chance of fading over time from the sun. In a very sunny environment like we have here in Florida’s communities, clay tiles are a popular choice.

 

This is due to the fact that they are extremely durable to natural elements. Some varieties of tile could go a good 50 years without fading. You have probably noticed this beautiful type of roofing in your own neighborhood.
