Choosing the right metal-clad roof FR
Planning to install a tin roof on your home this summer? It’s a great idea! The warm season is ideal for undertaking renovation projects. However, before you get started, it’s essential to choose the type of metal roof that will suit your needs and last the test of time. At Revêtement Métallique FR, we help you explore the different options available, highlighting their advantages and disadvantages for an informed choice.
Galvanized steel roofs
Galvanized steel is a popular material, factory-treated to resist corrosion. Lightweight and easy to install, it is often sold in large sheets or tiles, making it an economical and practical option. Resistant to sun, mildew and weather, it offers excellent value for money and appreciable durability.
Advantages:
- Lightweight for easy installation.
- Good weathering and UV resistance.
- Affordable cost.
Disadvantages:
- Increased susceptibility to rust after several years without treatment.
- Requires acoustic insulation to reduce the sound of rain or hail.
Stainless steel roofs
Unlike galvanized steel, stainless steel is naturally corrosion-resistant without the need for additional treatment. Its longevity (50-60 years) and modern aesthetic appeal make it an excellent choice for homeowners looking for a lasting investment.
Advantages:
- Natural resistance to rust and corrosion.
- Reflecting the sun’s rays for greater energy efficiency in summer.
- Exceptional longevity.
Disadvantages:
- Significant risk of snowfall in winter, requiring restraint systems.
- High purchase and installation costs.
Metal tile roofs
Metal tiles, made from steel or copper, combine aesthetics and durability. They are perfect for projects requiring a classic or modern touch. However, they share the disadvantages of the metals used.
Advantages:
- Excellent durability and weather resistance.
- Aesthetic appearance suitable for a variety of architectural styles.
Disadvantages:
- Vulnerable to corrosion without regular maintenance.
- High cost and installation requiring specialized roofers.
Aluminum metal roofs
Known as “permanent roofing”, aluminum roofs can last up to 100 years with proper maintenance. The material oxidizes naturally, forming a protective layer against the elements, and is available in a wide range of colors.
Advantages:
- Exceptional longevity (up to 100 years).
- A wide range of colors to suit every style.
- Increased weather resistance.
Disadvantages:
- Some colors can lose their radiance after 25 years.
- Deformation possible in case of intense fire.
