What are the benefits of a metal roof?
Replacing your roof with metal comes with a host of benefits, with one of the most popular being longevity, hardiness, and reduced maintenance costs throughout the life of the roof. With over 40 colours and a range of profiles to choose from, not only does a tin roof look fantastic, but it is also one of the most cost-effective, energy efficient ways to cover your home.
How long does a metal roof last?
We only use steel from Australia’s best steel suppliers, offering warranties of up to 30 years. Tin roofs are made to stand the test of time.
How will a tin roof stand in extreme weather?
Based on several factors including your proximity to the sea, Air Roofing carefully consider a range of tin profiles and specifications to recommend the best product for your metal roof. Working to an engineer’s detail, your tin roof is then tied down to high quality Australian standards. This makes a correctly installed tin roof capable of withstanding extreme weather, including storms, heavy rain, and high winds. Whilst other roofing materials can absorb heat, a tin roof is capable of withstanding drastic temperatures through its ability to reflect heat. Not only does this mean that tin is a sturdy and tough roofing material, but it also gives you the added benefit of regulating the temperature within your home.
Will you remove my old roof tiles?
Absolutely. We provide an end-to-end roof replacement service, removing all old roof tiles and disposing of them.
What material options do I have with a metal roof?
We’ve been in business for over 20 years, forging great relationships with Australia’s best steel suppliers to bring you quality and choice. Choose from a combination of over 40 colours and profiles from the unrivalled Colorbond™ and Zincalume™ ranges, both with huge warranties for peace of mind on look and quality.
Are tin roofs environmentally friendly?
Without a doubt, tin roofs can last several decades, reducing waste. Depending on the colour of tin you choose, your tin roof can substantially impact the cooling of your home, reducing electricity usage in the hot months of the year.
Do I need a council permit for a roof replacement?
Under many circumstances, yes you do. A good example of when you require a building permit is when you wish to change the material of your roof, such as changing tiles to tin. Due to this structural change, your local council will require a building permit application in order to issue a permit for the re-roof to go ahead. Should you re-roof your home with Air Roofing Co, our team handle the full process from application to completion, dealing with the council, engineer and surveyor on your behalf. All council permit, structural engineer, indemnity insurance and building surveyor fees are included in your re-roof quote so that you have no unexpected surprises.
Do I need to use a registered builder to replace my roof with tin?
Under many circumstances, yes you do. A good example of when you require a registered builder is when you wish to change the material of your roof, such as changing tiles to tin. This type of re-roof requires a building permit from the council, and the Department of Mines, Industry Regulation and Safety stipulate that building work over $20,000 that requires a building permit must be carried out by a registered builder or have an owner-builder approval. It is extremely important to follow this legal requirement, as permits and design certification are crucial to ensuring the safety and compliance of the new roof cover. Using an unregistered roofing contractor can put you at risk of fines, and properties with unapproved structures can be difficult to sell. Have peace of mind that Air Roofing Co are registered builders with the license, skills and experience to re-roof any home at any value.
