Some roof types and roofing materials just work better in certain regions and climates. For example, roofs formed with two triangles at a 90º angle work best in colder climates that can expect snow and rainwater. Other roofing types are better for windier environments, and flat roofs are better for environments that don’t experience excessive rainwater.
Additionally, tile roofing material is better for warmer weathered areas like Arizona, and roofing material such as shingles are better for environments with frequent rain and hail.
