At Residential and Commercial Roofing we know your business building is a valuable asset, and its roof is a crucial component. When investing in roofing, it’s essential to maximise your return on investment. This means carefully considering the various roofing options available, factoring in maintenance requirements, and evaluating the long-term cost-benefit of each choice.
After decades of partnering with a variety of businesses we’ve helped countless clients in Canterbury and Southland navigate those decisions. Based on our extensive experience, we strongly recommend metal roofing as a versatile and often cost-effective solution for commercial spaces. Whether you’re building a warehouse, factory, office, mall, restaurant, or clinic, metal roofing can provide a durable and reliable choice.
Here are some of the key benefits of choosing a metal roof for your commercial project:
Cleaning metal roofs is much easier than other roofing, making it easy to maintain its appearance for years to come. They have a smooth, non-porous surface that doesn’t allow debris to cling as easily as other materials like shingles or tiles.Plus, they can often be cleaned with a simple hose or pressure washer.
For commercial property owners minimising expenses is a top priority. The effortless nature of regular metal roof maintenance translates to significant cost savings down the line. By keeping your roof clean and maintained, you can drastically reduce the need for future repairs and replacements.
Unlike tiled roofs, which can deteriorate over time due to weather and inadequate durability, metal roofs, when properly installed and maintained, can last between 40 and 60 years, making them an excellent choice for commercial spaces. Additionally, metal roofing is versatile, allowing for easy repainting to refresh its appearance and match any customer preferences. This adaptability sets it apart from other roofing materials.
Metal Roofing reduces damage from hailstones and heavy weather conditions while being extremely resistant to snow and ice formation, with ice sliding right off. As a result, there is no worry of ice and snow building up on the roof and adding unnecessary weight and pressure. Some metal roofing can also withstand strong winds, making it ideal for our Canterbury climate. However, while metal roofing can act as a repellent for snow, it requires additional insulation for colder climates. Otherwise, homeowners will find their heating system has to work harder to keep the home warm. Additionally, this type of roofing material minimises the probability of catching fire. Steel roofs are A grade fire-resistant.
Metal roofing often has a clean, modern appearance that complements a range of architectural styles , from modern to traditional. They can also give an impression of luxury, since they can mimic other luxurious metals like zinc, copper and aluminium without the high cost of those materials. They also come in a wide range of colours, finishes, and profiles, allowing you to customise the look of your building to match your personal preferences or design aesthetic. In addition to these general benefits, metal roofing can also be used to create unique and visually striking effects. For example, standing seam metal roofs can offer a clean and contemporary look, while corrugated metal can add a rustic or industrial feel.
