Know Use of Aluminium Sheets For Roof

Use of Aluminium Sheets For Roof

 Aluminium roof sheets are incredibly popular amongst roofers and contractors, and there are several good reasons why you should choose aluminium for your next project. Not only is it a versatile material that will be well-suited and structurally sound on a range of agricultural and outbuildings, it’s easy to work with too so it can be used for DIY roofing projects. Garden studios, workshops and even home offices can benefit from being topped with metal roof sheets instead of other traditional roofing materials as they can be less expensive overall and easier to install for a beginner.

What are 10 advantages of aluminum roofing sheets?

1. 1. Aluminium roofing sheets are really easy to install – all you have to do is cut the sheets to size and fasten to the roof trusses. This can save you time, money and energy.

2. 2. Aluminium is incredibly light in comparison to other roofing sheets. This makes transportation much easier and doesn’t add much weight to the overall building structure.

3. Robust aluminium roof sheets boast longevity Aluminium roofs can last up to 50 years, perhaps even longer, so although the initial cost may seem high it is a long term investment. Other roofing sheets may only last 10-12 years, so replacing these up to 5 more times will inevitably add costs on to the initial price.

4. Energy saving Aluminium reflects the sun, meaning that in the summer the building will remain cool, despite increasing temperatures outside. It also helps maintain the heat inside the house in the winter, reducing heating costs and saving energy.

5. Environmentally friendly Aluminium sheets used for roofing can consist of up to 90% recycled material, meaning it’s the perfect choice for those environmentally conscious.

6. Aesthetics Aluminium roofing sheets can often be very aesthetically pleasing, giving a modern, contemporary look to your project. However, they can also be coated to provide a range of different finishes.

7. Safety Aluminium roofing sheets are non-combustible and non-flammable, and their superior strength combined with a great energy absorption level means that they have a higher resistance to denting than other metal sheets, which makes them safe against fires and falling objects.

Product advantage

1.Corrosion Protection:

Avoidance of galvanic corrosion which can be a problem when aluminium is in contact with certain other metal in a corrosive atmosphere.

Avoidance of crevice corrosion which might occur when corrosive salts, soot, dirt or sand can be driven into crevices, overlaps or interfaces of which the aluminium sheeting forms a part

2.Design Versatility:

Aluminium corrugated sheet systems with highly durable profiles and numerous colours and gauges offer unlimited scope for design creativity on new to industry, re-build, and repair and refurbishment projects.

1) Can be curved or bullnose

2) Smooth curving

3) Outstanding durability

4) High performance

5) Simple and fast installation by trained personnel

6) Wide selection of colours

7) A range of gauges, shapes and profile options

8) Fully recyclable
