Most people do not realize that the weight of the roof on an average sized house say in Australia or the U.S. with a concrete tiled roof will weigh around 12 tonnes thus putting a lot of strain on the roof framing. The same roof made of steel will weigh approximately 1 tonne thereby reducing the strain on the house frame by over ten fold.

Steel roofing has significant advantages and benefits over the traditional tile roof and today in Australia most houses are being built with steel roofing. There are numerous steel roofing brands that offer slightly different product benefits however, choosing a steel roof is the most important issue to consider.

Steel roofing is lightweight and fast and easy to erect which means that the construction time on your house is reduced resulting in lower building costs. Moreover, steel roofing is safe and easy to handle adding to the cost savings of house construction. This type of roofing is ideal for a wide range of home designs from gable to skillion to curved and contemporary homes. And steel roofing looks great with the various colours and shapes varieties available today.

Steel roofing is very tough and handles all types of weather conditions. From the harshest and hottest climates the roof will reflect the suns harmful UV rays and keep your house much cooler than the concrete tiled roof. Steel roofing does not retain the heat like tiles do. Therefore, your steep air conditioning bills will be reduced when your house is protected with a beautiful looking steel roof.

The harsh winters of the US and many parts of Australia expose the roof to all types of weather like rain, harsh storms, hail, snow and ice and strong winds. Steel stands up to the elements and manages the freezing and thawing found in Australian harsh climates and has virtually no effect on the roofs integrity.

Roofing made from Steel does not crack, warp, split, flake, peel, burn or blow off unlike other forms of roofing and save you time and money during the life of your roof as your maintenance costs will be reduced sharply. In addition to the harsher elements under normal everyday circumstances steel roofs require very little maintenance. And steel roofing is the most fire safe product on the market today.

Steel roofs are long lasting and highly durable and do not require painting maintenance for years whilst Steel Roofing is 100% recyclable and is easily dismantled and used again and again and most Steel Roofing will be painted with a strong performance polymer that has exceptional weathering properties and comes in a wide variety of colours.
