Not long ago, asphalt shingles, slate, clay or concrete tiles were about the only roofing options. Today, advanced roofing materials provide an unprecedented range of alternatives, as well as new looks for existing materials. Here is a list of 9 different types of roofing to consider for your next re-roofing job: 1. Solar tiles Advanced solar collectors integrate seamlessly into existing shingles, generating up to 1 kilowatt of energy per 100 square feet. They’re particularly good for sunny roofs in homeowners’ associations that forbid typical solar panels. While they may help offset energy costs with solar power, they also cost more than traditional solar options. 2. Asphalt shingles Asphalt shingles are the most common roofing materials in America because they’re effective in all environmental conditions. Quality varies widely, so ask whether they pass the ASTM D3161, Class F (110 mph) or ASTM D7158, Class H (150 mph) wind tests and the AC438 durability test. Upfront costs ar...

  Glass tile suppliers Kerala     Size of the Area    It stands to reason that the larger the area you need to have your glass block installation placed, the more expensive it will be. This will affect both the cost of materials and the cost of labour. With some installers and suppliers, the larger the area, the lower the cost per square foot, so if you have a number of areas in which you might want to install glass block or tile, you might consider doing all the jobs at one time. Although the total costs may be higher, the incremental costs may be a lot lower.        Installation Materials Glass blocks are installed in a similar way to bricks with grout or mortar placed between them and then laid and built upwards. If you are using acrylic "glass" blocks then alternate installation methods are sometimes used that involve interlocking PVC joint systems instead of mortar or grout. Acrylic block systems will of...

Bathroom accessories to decorate your bathroom in style A clever play of colours and contours can remarkably underline the fine aesthetics of a bathroom. The hexagonal black and white tiles on the wall, recalled by the accents on the marble floor make for a black-and-white ethereal style in this bathroom, that one should definitely try to compliment when picking up the bathroom accessories. The solid four-legged black table is a nod to the vintage elegance of the mirror frame that, together with the stunning curvature of the wash basin bowl, create a dramatic effect. If that’s your style, let your furniture be the centre of attention and choose bathroom accessories in the same silver and muted colours to keep the cinematic drama theme going.     Bathroom accessories for the BOHEMIAN-CHIC LOVER If you like all things vintage with a touch of bohemian allure, make room for some bold bathroom accessories ideas. As a case in point, we highlight the bold tile...

Clay Roof Tiles Many homeowners with one eye on the property market are turning to clay tiles to add real aesthetic value to their home. This attractive tile comes in a number of shapes and patterns helping to create a traditional Mediterranean look. Concrete Roof Tiles Concrete tiles can mimic the aesthetic appeal of clay and slate while also providing high levels of durability against the elements. They are one of the most common tile types on the market and extremely cost-effective in relation to their performance levels. Interlocking Roof Tiles Single lap interlocking roof tiles are typically flat or profiled smooth or granular and are possibly the easiest and quickest of all the roof tile variants to install. The combined ease of use, along with lower prices, has seen them become one of the two main tile types installed in the UK. Concrete is by far the most common material used for this particular style, although they can be purchased in clay and slate. L...
