Commercially, certain materials are more favoured than others with roofs. Most go for the material that is weather resistant and strong, with longevity. Metal is a common material used due to these factors, as well as being cheaper and simple to fit. Metals used are generally aluminium or steel.
Another material known for being strong, as well as being UV, heat and fire-resistant is thermoplastic roofing. It is also pliable and resistant against weather, being able to fight against heavy winds, as well as lasting for 20 years minimum.
EPDM roofing is even more robust than thermoplastic, considering EPDM is made from rubber that is synthetic. This is also simple to repair, fit and take care of.
PVC roofs are thought to be the most hard-wearing materials in the UK. They have fire-retardant ability, meaning they can stop fires from spreading, as well as being strong and sturdy.
If you want something more eco-friendly, then a green roof is a good choice. They are flat and covered in greenery. This plant life absorbs the heat from the sunlight, as well as keeping the roof and property protected. They are nice to look at in an aesthetic sense too, which is a bonus!
