Metal Roofing

Corrugated roofing combines the fireproof and watertight benefits of sheet metal with the affordability of asphalt. It is thinner and more prone to rust than other forms of metal roofing sheets.

A standing seam system is made of vertical panels with interlocking joins. This makes it easy to install and provides a high degree of strength and weatherproofing.

Metal shingles are made of overlapping plates and can be visually stunning, especially copper roofing. Costs in Australia depend on the material and size of the individual shingles used.

High quality metal roofing systems can last from 30-80 years in Australia, much longer than other roofing materials. Quality metal roofs also save you power in summer by reflecting sunlight, keeping the house cool. Houses with these roofs installed tend to resell significantly above those with asphalt shingles. This all means that it is stronger, more durable, and more cost effective than other roofing materials.

Steel roofs are relatively easy to install and are usually more affordable. However, they require protection from the elements, typically through a coat of paint or sealant.

Aluminium roofing is considerably lighter than other metals and boasts the advantage of being rust-resistant, which can lead to an increased lifespan. z

Zinc roofing stands out for its impressive durability. With proper maintenance, a zinc roof can last up to a hundred years.
