Replacing these tiles and conducting vital roof maintenance will be an expensive process.
Additional examples are Bitumen sheets offer many styles and increased flexibility, but they can struggle to handle strong winds. On the other hand, PVC Roofing sheets are popular when constructing conservatories or home extensions due to their semi-transparent nature, but they are fragile and have no insulation.
The Different Types of Metal Roofing
When choosing the best metal roofing for your property, you must be aware of the choices available and which are best for your home.- Box Profile Roof Sheets: Box Profile steel roofing sheets are an upgrade over conventional corrugated roofing designs. This reasonably modern design has significantly increased the popularity of metal roofing across many sectors, including domestic housing. Corrugated roofing sheets employ a wave design, whereas box profile steel roofing sheets have a raised box pattern of flat surfaces spaced equally along its length. This design change provides the roofing with enhanced strength and durability over alternative designs. At Qtile Roofers Mart, we increase this inherent durability with galvanised steel, and we can provide them with a thickness gauge of 0.5mm and 0.7mm and a length of 7m.
- QTile Roofing Sheets: QTile Roofing Sheets are a fantastic choice for housing a domestic home. Many homeowners have used these galvanised Qtile Roofing Sheets to keep the aesthetic qualities of conventional tile roofing but discard their usually fragile nature. These overlapping tile sheets are made of similar robust steel that provides impressive weather and impact resistance across your whole roof. The weight of concrete, clay or ceramic tiles can sometimes be problematic for lighter builds. This metal tile roofing will require far less support, thanks to its lightweight construction. One of the most common reasons our Qtile Roofing Sheets are chosen is the range of finishes available, allowing homeowners to customise their homes’ styles in unique ways.
We supply highly effective anti-condensation roofing sheets as a preventative measure against any accumulating moisture. This sheet has a unique thick backing that absorbs any gathering moisture and isolates it from your property until the heat from a warm day returns. This increased heat will then evaporate the collected water into harmless vapour. They also have the added benefit of increased sound insulation from winter hail.
Durable Metal Roofing
One of the main benefits when choosing metal roofing is its durability to the elements. No one wants to let the rain in their top room or loft and allow dampness and mould to grow; that is why every homeowner must have a roof that completely protects their property. The average roofing materials discussed previously have an estimated 15-25 years lifespan. Once this time has elapsed, they will need considerable financial and physical effort to maintain them. However, with metal roofing, you gain a reliable choice that will last an impressive 60 years or more.Recycled Metal Roofing
It’s estimated that over 11 million tons of asphalt shingles arrive at landfills yearly and will take 300 years to degrade. Our high-quality metal roofing sheets are made from up to 40% recycled materials, providing a far more environmentally friendly option for roofing your home. Plus, if you ever wish to replace them with a different roof design, they can be recycled again. In addition, the British steel we use can be recycled continuously without the materials losing their fundamental properties.Improved Insulation
Our range of insulated roof sheets will provide a building with superior heat retention alongside the previously mentioned weather resistance and durability. During the colder months, the double layers of insulation on these sheets will minimise the temperature loss from the rising heat in your home. This will work in conjunction with interior insulation to lower energy bills and minimise heat loss. Metal roofing is also a great reflector of external heat and repels a significant amount during a heatwave, keeping the interior cool throughout summer. This results in metal roofing saving you money on your bills, keeping you in a comfortable climate and reducing your carbon footprint.
At Qtile Roofers Mart, we specialise in providing the highest quality metal roofing for any customer, whether it’s for a commercial, industrial or domestic building. Learn more about our popular range of metal roofing sheets here.
