STRAMIT® CORRUGATED ROOF SHEETS
While
metal
roofs are also available using other materials (including tin), the vast majority of metal roofs that are installed these days are steel roofs.
This is mainly due to steel's cost, durability, longevity and strength, all of which make it a very versatile roofing material. Steel used for modern roofs is normally treated and coated with a number of different finishes to improve its performance as a roofing material. This includes alloy coatings to help corrosion resistance, and special polyester coatings that protect the steel and help to retain its colour. Metal roofs in australia tend to be installed in large, corrugated sheets or panels rather than using smaller tiles (although metal roofing tiles are available).

Pros & Cons of Metal Roofing
Next generation zincalume® steel’s patented activate® technology introduces magnesium into the aluminium-zinc alloy coating, improving galvanic protection by activating the aluminium. The result is a tougher protective coating that’s more resistant to scratches and scuffs encountered during construction. The protective coating innovation also increases the product lifespan of next generation zincalume® steel whilst using fewer metal resources. Compared to zincalume® steel az150, next generation zincalume® steel am125 has a smaller environmental footprint^ in all 18 life cycle assessment (lca) categories assessed. From its launch in august 2013, roofing applications made from next generation zincalume® steel will be backed by a warranty of up to 36 years , including warranties closer to marine environments.
Metal roofing’s durability and ability to perform in even the most difficult locations and circumstances makes it the best roofing choice in truly every region. Many metal roofing systems have been tested and proven to perform in winds in excess of 140 mph (equal to an f2 tornado) and provide protection against impact damage from debris. And because they consist of large interlocking panels, metal roofing resist uplift caused by high winds further reducing the risk of water intrusion. Recent post-hurricane inspections have found that metal roofs fared far better than those roofs covered by asphalt shingles.

Metal roofing consistently outperforms shingles when it comes to resisting harsh elements. In addition to being fire and hail resistant, metal roofs are also effective against extreme winds. Many insurance companies recognize the durability of metal roofing, offering discounts for structures with metal roofs.
Getty whether you’re tired of the traditional look of a shingled roof, or you’d like something more durable, a metal roof may be at the top of the list of desires for your home. Metal roofing is becoming increasingly more popular in today’s search for that perfect rustic yet modern aesthetic. If the price of metal roofs seems prohibitive, consider the fact that they can last up to 70 years, which is much longer than the average asphalt shingle roof. And in some cases, a metal roof can even be installed on top of old shingles, which can bring down the cost of a roof replacement.
Metal Roofing Drawbacks & Myths
Despite their many advantages, metal roofs have some potential drawbacks. Affordability. Metal roofs can be as much as two or three times more expensive than other roofing materials. While the life of a metal roof is much longer, investing in a metal roof only makes sense if you plan to stay in your home long enough to enjoy the cost benefits. Noisiness. Metal roofs may be more noisy during a heavy rain or hailstorm than other products depending on the type of decking used during installation (spaced or solid). Adding more attic insulation can sometimes solve this problem, but that may increase costs.
