The roofs of houses have a protective function, they are created in order to exclude the ingress of water into the premises. That is why attention should be paid to the choice of roofing material. Among the most popular coatings today metal roofing stands out against the general background, because it has a number of features in comparison with other materials :
- Its light weight makes it possible not to additionally strengthen the structure (about 5 kilograms per square meter);
- The metal tile looks very impressive, its use instantly transforms not only the house, but also the adjacent territory;
- You can install this material yourself without using the services of specialists;
- This roof covering can be used in various climatic zones;
- Since the metal tile is very light, if a decision is made to replace the roof, you can lay a new layer without dismantling the old one.
Materials of manufacture
The metal tile itself is most often made of galvanized steel - a material that is currently recognized as the most resistant to corrosion. However, for added protection, it is covered with one of several protective layers:
- Polyurethane;
- Plastisol;
- Acrylate;
- Polyvinylidene fluoride;
- Polyester.
What is the reason for the cost of metal shingles?
If we talk about the price of metal tiles in the building goods market, then it can vary greatly depending on the region of purchase, on the materials of manufacture, on the texture of the profile, on the loud name of the manufacturer, and so on. The place of purchase also plays a role, for example, in EvroKrovlya, prices are always an order of magnitude lower than in other stores. In any case, this is far from the most expensive material for roofing, which is probably why it is so popular in different countries of the world. Well, if we add to the acceptable price all the above-described positive qualities of this material, then the current trend towards the growth of its popularity in Ukraine becomes understandable and even obvious.
