Residential Roofing Trends That Impact OEM Success
As the residential roofing industry rises, it’s important for OEMs to address key trends shaping the market. Find out what these trends are and how to ensure your manufacturing processes keep up for continued success.
Trend #1: Storm-Resistant Roofing Materials
With severe weather events hitting homes across the U.S., many homes with older roofs are susceptible to significant damage. To avoid problems and maintain home insurance coverage, more homeowners are looking to replace their current roofs with more storm-resistant materials.
For OEMs, this means manufacturing products that can withstand:
- Extreme wind conditions
- Fluctuating temperatures
- Prolonged exposure to moisture
Trend #2: Cool Roofing Materials
Additionally, homeowners are increasingly concerned with conserving energy. As roofs play a significant role in determining a home’s energy efficiency level, many homeowners are considering cool roofing materials.
For OEMs, this means manufacturing products that:
- Deflect solar radiation by reflecting sunshine off the roof
- Increase the home’s energy efficiency levels
Trend #3: Easy-to-Install Materials
As more homeowners opt for new roofs, it can be difficult to meet the high demand. To address this issue, installers look for products that are easy to use and quick to assembly.
For OEMs, this means manufacturing products that:
- Have self-adhesive, peel and stick backings
- Are easily applied using sprayers
- Are a complete, compatible residential roofing installation system
