Roof cladding - an alternative to roofing tiles

Posted: Sep 22, 2010 |Comments: 0 |

Roof cladding is often used in industrial and commercial projects, as it's tough, lightweight design and low maintenance needs give it solid refurbishment and new build qualities. But increasingly in ultra-modern designs, roof cladding can be used to give a well-rounded look that can't be created with more 'traditional' materials. From traditional corrugated roofing, to faux tile looks, there's a roof cladding 'look' for everyone.

From traditional to cutting edge

Traditional roof cladding is often designed to blend in with the 'look' of the material as it's been manufactured over the last couple of decades of more. Traditional corrugated or flat panels have been used in prefab builds, schooling, and industrial builds, creating a recognisable profile for roof cladding - unfortunately, it's also become the 'synonymous' look of roof cladding.


Coated steel panels, fabricated into other shapes are slowly becoming more popular and are a sustainable and often better choice than tiles and other shorter life products. Tiles may loosen and fall off, but in most cases, roof cladding remains in situ until its end of life replacement schedule. Metal roof cladding is also a good alternative because it's fully sustainable and recyclable, making it the ideal choice for environmentally conscious redevelopments, refurbishments or new builds.

The coated steel solution

Coated steel is becoming the gold standard in commercial and industrial constructions, creating a synergy between design flexibility and low maintenance, but is also one of the most cost effective (over lifetime) materials available at present.  It and aluminium make great roof cladding materials, and are easy to replace, sustain, repair and recycle, making them the ideal choice for refurbishment or regeneration projects.

Coated steel is available with extensive guarantees, making it one of the most rigorously tested materials on the market, and it can be coloured or cut into various designs and shapes, making it one of the most flexible products available. It's strong too, allowing for developments that may otherwise have not been possible. And with its low maintenance profile, it's also the ideal choice for barely accessible or inaccessible areas, and can be coloured to specifications, without any run off or water pollution concerns.
