THE MOST NOTICEABLE BENEFITS OF INSTALLING CORRUGATED METAL ROOFING

Corrugated roofing sheets have been a long-lasting, robust and reliable roofing solution for hundreds of years, and has been the most commonly used roofing solution in Australia and New Zealand for decades.

First patented in 1829 by Henry Robinson Palmer, corrugated metal sheets are sometimes still referred to as corrugated iron despite generally being made of steel coating in zinc or aluminium.

There are many benefits to installing corrugated metal roofing, and here are some of the most notable ones.

Longevity

Roofing shingles and tiles generally need to be replaced every 20 years. However, metal roofing generally lasts at least a decade longer than this, and corrugated roofing lasts considerably longer still.

A well-kept corrugated roof can last up to 50 years if well-maintained, due to its corrugated shape making it less vulnerable to corrosion damage, wear and tear. They also do not have the same potential to be used as insect nests and hives.

This also makes them a worthwhile investment in the long term, as the roof can last a lifetime in the right circumstances.

Durability

Shipping containers have a reputation for being so strong they can carry many times their weight stacked on top of them, and part of the reason for this is the ripples metal shape.

This gives the sheet a larger surface area to absorb impacts, which makes them perfect for areas that are prone to extreme weather conditions such as hail, heavy snowfall or strong storms.

Lightweight And Easy To Install

When practicality and quick installation are the most important factors to consider, corrugated roofing is the solution of choice, because its lightweight construction, ease of installation and exceptional durability make it ideal when a building needs to be constructed and made weatherproof quickly.
