Stainless steel Roofing

Stainless steel is most commonly used for harsher conditions as it is extremely durable and can protect itself against corrosion because it is comprised of chromium which reacts to oxygen/water to form an invisible protective film. Stainless steel roofing is a very expensive roofing system.
Asphalt shingles
Are inexpensive and easy to repair; however will only last 15-30 years and are subject to mildew and moss.
Aluminum Roofing
Is one of the most expensive types of roofing materials available, however it is also one of the most durable building roofing material. Aluminum roofs are also lightweight, energy efficient, and corrosion-resistant.
Coloured Steel Roofing Sheeting
Is a strong and durable material used for roofing. It comes as a Zincalume/galvanized base that can be left raw or colour coated in a variety of colours. Coloured Steel Roof Sheeting can be roll formed in a large variety of profiles. The steel roof sheeting is aesthetically pleasing and conforms to a variety of roof shapes and is relatively inexpensive.
Wood shingles
Can last up to 30-50 years, are easy to repair and replace but can be expensive and require a lot of maintenance.
