When it comes to roofing for domestic houses, steel is a superb choice. But not all steel roofing is the same, CORDION’s unique 10-layer form is designed to ensure long-lasting durability and robustness along with a beautiful and consistent finish.
The advantages of steel roofing
Steel as a roof covering for a residential home offers various advantages.
Here are 10 reasons why you might consider steel for your residential roof
1. Colour Choice
Decide whether you want your roof to stand out as a focal point or blend in seamlessly with the rest of your home and its environment. Contrasting colours can create a bold statement, while matching tones provide a more unified appearance.
2. Design Versatility
Corrugated steel roofing can be adapted to different architectural styles. Its versatility allows for creative design choices, making it suitable for a range of home designs, from modern to traditional. Cordion comes in a variety colours and finishes, allowing for a customised and aesthetically pleasing appearance. Its sleek and clean lines, as well as a wide range of colour options can contribute to a modern style home. Equally Traditional colour options can seamlessly blend with the traditional colour palettes often seen in older homes.
3. Durability
Steel roofing is known for its exceptional durability. It can withstand harsh weather conditions, including high winds, heavy rain, snow, and hail, without deteriorating or losing its structural integrity.
4. Longevity
Steel roofs have a long lifespan, often outlasting traditional roofing materials
5. Low Maintenance: Steel roofs require minimal maintenance compared to other roofing materials. They don't crack or warp over time.
6. Lightweight Yet Strong
Corrugated steel is lightweight compared to some other roofing materials, which can be beneficial for the overall structural integrity of your home. Despite its light weight, corrugated steel is strong and durable, offering reliable protection.
7. Quick Installation
The installation process for prefabricated steel roofing is quicker and more efficient compared to some other roofing materials. This can save both time and labour costs.
8. Environmentally Friendly
Steel roofing is recyclable, making it an environmentally friendly choice. When the roof reaches the end of its life, the material can be recycled rather than adding to landfill waste.
9. Cost-Effective
Corrugated steel roofing is often cost-effective compared to some alternative roofing materials. The lower upfront costs, combined with its durability and low maintenance requirements, make it an economically attractive choice.
10. Excellent Water Shedding
The corrugated design of the steel panels facilitates efficient water shedding. Rainwater, snow, or debris are less likely to accumulate on the roof, reducing the risk of leaks and potential water-related issues.
