We will work closely with you to choose the best roof for the purpose. One of the great things about metal roofing is the wide variety of products available. Our team is here to assist you!

The world’s most modern and widely used steel coating incorporates a mix of zinc and aluminium which work in harmony to provide optimal coating protection for the steel core.

Factory pre-painted metal roofing retains its good looks and durability for decades, because it is manufactured under factory controlled conditions providing high quality finishes which are self-cleaning in the rain, antibacterial and antifungal, and have high thermal reflectance for better interior comfort.

For optimal performance, the service life warranty of your fasteners must match the service life warranty of the sheeting being used. Aluminium roof sheeting: use ONLY stainless steel fasteners.

Despite the advances in modern day external waterproofing products, the harmful rays of the sun will eventually play havoc with their efficacy. These types of products, albeit very effective, should ideally be protected from prolonged exposure to the sun, so a metal flashing becomes the obvious solution.

The “clicking” of a metal roof is mostly due to thermal expansion and contraction, and is difficult to silence without insulation. When installed with a quality insulation, you can also silence the noise from rain, hail and bad weather as well – if not better – than that of any other roofing material.

A metal roof is, on average, 75% lighter than concrete tile and slate. This, coupled with the format of a sheet, and its high strength to weight ratio, means that even the substructure can be much lighter, using far less purlins / battens than a clay tile roof.

Yes. And metal roofs don’t lose their strength over time, making them as safe as when they are new. For heavy foot traffic we recommend walkways are installed over the roof – ask us for advice in advance of installation.

Cut edges and other areas where the base metal is exposed are protected by the coating. Due to a phenomenon called galvanic action, which is triggered when moisture is present, the coating sacrifices itself by offering itself for corrosion instead of the steel base. The use of clean paraffin may be applied carefully to the cut edge to further hinder corrosion.

Should the scratch or scuff marking be superficial it would be best left untouched. With deep scratches where the protective aluminium-zinc metal coating has been penetrated, replacement of the affected roof sheets should be considered.

We have a panel of approved installers that specialise in sheet metal roofing installations. Many will also offer you an installation warranty which gives you peace of mind.

Although metal roofing in itself is well protected from the elements, preventative maintenance is required to ensure optimal performance. This includes periodic inspections of the roof as well as regular washing down of pre-painted roofing with a hose pipe and plain water. Do not use hard brushes that will scratch the surface.

It is largely dependent on the UV exposure per area. Typically lighter colours have a gloss retention of more than 50% after 10 years exposure, and darker colours have greater than 60% gloss retention over the same period.

The various colours all adds to the aesthetic appeal of the house, and gives the homeowner a variety of choice for that individual touch. There is no difference in cost between the standard colour range. The Supa Tile / Versatile product comes standard in a 0.5mm commercial grade thickness, which makes for an economical alternative to the 0.58mm of conventional coatings.

Versatile / Supa-Tile is produced from aluminium-zinc technology. The coating has a 55% aluminium, 43% zinc and 1.5% silicon content, which greatly enhances the coatings’ performance when compared to conventional zinc. Continuous research and development and modern coating technology also make the product a cost-effective solution when compared to older technology used on conventional coatings.

Supa-Tile / Versatile is manufactured from lightweight steel, and allows for greater ease of handling and less transport risks, which directly impacts the cost of the product when compared to clay tiles.

Simply put, screws with tested thread counts per inch suitable for timber construction will have much better hold-down capability. Tests have proven that 75mm wire nails have a much lower pull-out resistance when compared to threaded fasteners.

Timber that has been treated with known or unknown chemicals, may adversely react with the aluminium-zinc coating. Consult with our technical staff to make sure.

Yes, when correctly installed, the “foil” acts as a radiant barrier, reflecting most of the UV rays and heat that enters the roof cavity via convection.

Foil does not have measurable sound deafening qualities. Maybe opt for a PET (Polyester Blanket or rigid board insulation).
