Roofing Material Finder

Take the quiz

Each finder asks a few plain questions, scores your answers against a short list of options and shows the best match, often with a runner-up. Some answers can force a result when a single factor decides it, such as a very low roof pitch or a wet room. Every result explains why it fits, what to check and when it is not the right fit.

Which finder to use

  • Flooring Finder: choose between hardwood, engineered, laminate, vinyl, sheet vinyl and tile.
  • Paint Sheen Finder: choose between flat, matte, eggshell, satin, semi-gloss and high-gloss.
  • Roofing Material Finder: choose between shingles, metal, tile, slate and membrane.
  • Siding Finder: choose between vinyl, fiber cement, wood, engineered wood, metal and brick.

What a finder cannot do

A finder cannot see your house, your climate or your local code. It does not know the condition of your structure and it is not advice from a contractor or engineer. Treat the result as a starting point, and read our disclaimer and safety notes.
