Why Should I Install A Metal Roof?

Mar 11, 2022

What Are The Benefits Of Installing Metal Roofing?

A roof is an essential component of any building, and the right roofing material will mean your home is structurally sound and protected from the elements. Replacing a roof can be a very expensive procedure so it's important to make the right decisions.

In Australia, metal roofing is the leading product for homes and commercial buildings. Let's take a look at the benefits of installing a metal roof to see why they are so popular.

Metal Roofing Is Highly Durable

The materials in our roofing solutions from Colorbond include; zincalume, aluminium, galvanised steel and standing seam. The strength to weight qualities of metal is outstanding, making it an excellent choice for roofing. A metal roof is durable because it:

Resists Corrosion

The materials in modern metal roofing incorporate special coatings to make them incredibly resistant to corrosion.

Protects Against Extreme Weather

Australian homes need to withstand extreme weather like such as heavy rainfall, hailstones and high winds. Metal roofing offers a better protection against the elements, when compared to tiled and decramastic roofs.

Further Protection in Bushfire Areas

Metal roofs produced by Colorbond are fire rated and may assist in part of further protection strategy if building in a bushfire prone area.

If you need further proof of the longevity of metal roofing, look no further than the extensive warranties they come with.

A Metal Roof Is Cost-Effective

In metal roofing, a single metal sheet can span a large area of roof space. This means it can be installed quickly, and faster installation means a lower overall cost for the installation.

You don't need to paint a metal roof either. It will look fantastic and provide years of protection with virtually no need for maintenance. Once it is installed, you won't need to think about it for a long time.

Metal Roofs Are Aesthetically Pleasing

There are many styles, colours and appearance variations for metal roofing. There are various traditional corrugation profiles as well as a range of standing seam rib choices that give you plenty of control over the appearance of your new roof.

The colours are oven-baked for maximum durability. This means they will remain vibrant and strong, resisting cracks and fades for many years. Your metal roof will add value to the property and look stunning once installed.

Metal Roofing Offers Comfort

A metal roof, installed with appropriate insulation, offers super thermal protection to help keep you cool in summer and warm in winter. A lighter-coloured roof is useful for particularly hot areas as they reflect some of the sun's heat.

Manufacturer guarantees cover you for up to 25 years for some products, so you can rest easy knowing that your home's value has increased and it will be in good shape for the foreseeable future. If you have a substandard roof over your head, you will never feel quite as relaxed and able to live worry-free from day to day.
