Choosing a Look for Metal Roofing

When considering a metal roof, you’ll need to determine the fundamental look you want it to have. You can choose between two basic forms that are very different in appearance. Within these two categories, there are many variations, colors, and patterns.

Metal panel roofing is the most familiar pattern of panel-style metal roofing, “standing-seam roofing,” has raised ribs every 6 or 12 inches and is applied vertically on a roof. It has a decidedly commercial look that is favored by architects for its honest, clean, contemporary appearance.

Types of Metal Roofing in Sydney

By far, the most common conventional Metal Roofing materials are steel and aluminum.

Steel is heavier and sturdier than aluminum. And is usually zinc-coated for corrosion protection and then sealed. A coating of epoxy primer offers adhesion and a baked-on acrylic top coating adds color and protection.

Aluminum is extremely lightweight. It won’t rust, but it must be painted or coated for appearance. Coatings are similar to those used on steel. Aluminum is a very soft metal, so it dents and mars easily and isn’t nearly as rigid as steel.

Copper metal roofing will not rust, has no “finish” to scratch or peel, is soft enough to easily tool, and weathers naturally to a beautiful greenish color. Unfortunately, it’s extremely expensive.

Alloy roofing products are formulated for strength, graceful weathering, and durability, but they are pricey.

Stainless-steel roofing, a very expensive roofing material, won’t rust or corrode. Tin coating can give it a natural matte-gray finish.
