WHY METAL ROOFING
Metal roofing has become a very popular mainstay in roofing materials in Mandurah WA. More and more people are choosing metal for its durability and style. It can come in multiple colours, in several types of metal.
Metal roofs can even be shaped and customised to the exact specifications of the buyer and can be painted in any colour to enhance the look of your building.
One of the most common types of metal roofing is made from aluminium, due to the lightweight and easy-to-install features. While aluminium is quite durable in most conditions, it may not stand up to severe weather such as hail storms. Aluminium metal roofing is also among the most affordable materials.
Galvanised iron is another popular choice in metal. It is also fairly lightweight much like aluminium and stands up well to fire and resists corrosion. It is very affordable, making it a smart choice for a simple, yet durable metal roof.
Copper is also available in metal roofing systems. It’s one of the oldest metals around, having been used for many centuries. More modern choices have pushed copper aside in favour of other metals, due mostly to the fact that copper isn’t as lightweight as other materials. There are still many older and historic buildings and churches that have copper roofs and they still look beautiful today. With proper maintenance, copper can last more than 30 years.
Steel is like copper in that it’s a heavy material. It’s one of the best choices for industrial roofing such as plants or other heavily used buildings. The heavy weight of steel makes it in impractical choice for home roofing needs, therefore is not seen often in residential settings. Steel is also expensive due to its durability. Stainless steel in particular is quite costly.
Roofing materials made from metal can be purchased in sheets that are flat or corrugated. Colorbond is fast becoming Mandurah favourite metal roof. Metal can also come pre-painted and coated, depending on the need. Metal roofing is a very pleasing to the eye and if maintained properly can last a very long time.
