Good morning,
We are watching American renovation shows again. I keep noticing that in the USA they don't use roof tiles like we do, but rather asphalt shingles. That's why I wondered why they aren't used in Germany as well.
From Google, I have found out so far that they are cheaper and lighter but don't last as long (25-35 years). How long does a "classic" roof last? Also, the asphalt shingles are supposed to be quieter when it rains.
I also wonder if photovoltaic elements can be attached to them. Perhaps the protection would extend their durability?

I have shingles on my garden shed. Everything is tight.

Americans just build cheaply, but big. You just have to reroof after 25 years. Roof tiles last until you don’t like them anymore or you’re dead.

Shingles just look good to a limited extent. So for a garden shed it's okay, but for a new house you can surely imagine something nicer, right.
