London Roofing ServicesWhat Makes Roofs So Important Structurally?
Roofing is more important than it seems. It looks to some to be merely superficial -- a facade. We all, of course, know that the roof keeps the rain and wind out, but couldn't anything do that? Why does it need to be such a particular product? Why are roofers such highly trained specialists? Why does it cost so much to buy roofing? What is the importance of the material that the roofing attaches to -- the roof itself? It is clear that the rafters or trusses of a building are important, but what are they important for? In a very important sense, the framed structure of a roof holds the building together. It keeps the walls from twisting and wracking, which in a stiff wind would literally blow even the most hefty home to the ground. And the plywood that lies across the rafters does more or less the same thing for the rafters that the joists or trusses, do for the walls -- it stops them from moving around. So the structure of a roof is important. The roofing material -- the material on the outside -- is there to protect the roof from the elements, which would otherwise deteriorate the structure. So yes, roofs keep the elements out; but there is more to it than that. |

What Makes Roofs So Important Aesthetically?
Roofs aren't just important structurally. What a roof looks like matters, more perhaps than any other feature of a home. The color of its exterior walls -- brick siding, or whatever else -- is important, and it may be the first thing that your eyes register, but the shape of a building is what gives it is character, its content. For the most part, a building (sans-roof) is a box. It is the roof that gives it character. And that means that our eyes move quickly to the roof and to its qualities -- its color, its material makeup. These things are fully determined by the roofing materials used. The effect and affect of that material is determined completely by the roofers who installed it. We at Markham understand how important roofing materials are, and how important the professional installation of those materials is, and so we offer you the very best in roofing at a great price.
