High Quality Metal Roofing In Brisbane

Roof Replacement vs Re-roofing

Sometimes in the industry the term ‘Re-roofing’ is used to mean the replacement of an existing roof. Essentially they mean the same thing.

The Advantages of Metal Roof Sheeting

Resale Value

Over time, metal roofs tend to add lasting value to homes where other materials tend to diminishing the value. If you have older materials, like decramastic tiles, they can be in short supply and hence, more expensive to replace, maintain or repair. Asbestos roofs don’t do you any favours either as it adds an annoyance to any future remodelling or renovations. Real Estate agents call us all the time to get an idea of how much a replacement would cost so they can factor that into their price estimates.

Durability and Longevity

In South East Queesland, we have harsh climatic conditions, often with threat of extreme heat, high winds, hail, falling trees, heavy rains and in some areas even fire. Metal is a high quality, robust roofing material that has taken huge leaps forward in design in recent years. When properly installed, metal roofs have been proven to be longer lasting than all other conventional roofing materials. One very popular brand is called Colorbond. In fact, they generally give you peace of mind for 40-60 years. In comparison, most other roofing types will require replacement 2-4 times. However, longevity is just one factor, they are also low maintenance meaning they resist the growth of moss or mould and don’t crack. Resistance to cracking and chipping is also another major advantage. Clay or slate tiles tend to be susceptible to chipping and cracking when objects fall on them like hail, branches and general storm debris. With such little maintenance required, choosing modern metal for your roof restoration is the possibly the best option.

Aesthetics and Style

Forget the old corrugated tin roofs that are synonymous with Australian outback living. It’s the 21st century and you can get your roof in a huge variety of styles, colours and materials to ensure that you are getting a product that compliments your home perfectly. Bluescope’s famous Colorbond product is a popular choice in Australia for large roofing jobs, however there’s also other corrugated steel roofing products out there in the market. The point is that, you can get these materials in many different colours  and finishes so matching your existing structure’s colour scheme or style is easy. The wide range of colours and textures now available in metal roofing blows away any misconceptions about lack of visual appeal. With a colour choice just as wide ranging as other popular roofing materials, metal will suit your home or building whether the style is modern or traditional. A metal roof will also stay looking good for much longer than other roofing materials. We can also help you with Patios and Patio roofing too.

Energy Efficiency

Depending on your final choice of materials, metal roofs can be very energy efficient, especially with insulation and venting additions. With the right choices, you can optimise the heating and cooling requirements of your home and spend less on your energy bills. In some cases, a reflective metal roof surface reflects heat and can reduce cooling costs by up to 40%.

Light and Flexible

Many people don’t realise that metal roofs have a lower overall weight than tiled roofs so it assists with preserving the structural integrity of the house, by putting less strain on the foundations and supporting beams.
