Metal Roof Construction
Your roof is the main structure, which protects your home from the effects of the elements. The material you choose for your roof has to be able to withstand the extreme of the Irish weather conditions, ranging from blazing hot summers to wintry ice or driving wind and rain. Its crucial that you select a roofing material that is strong and durable and weather resistant. We believe that Metal offers all these attributes plus it gives you a low maintenance, sleek and contemporary roof which will stand out from the crowd and you don’t have to worry about colour fading or unsightly moss or algae appearing and ruining the look of your new roof. We work with all metals such as copper, aluminium, Zinc or other metals, which will all withstand just about everything that Mother Nature has to offer.
Whilst we specialise in standing seam metal which we think is the best finish the metals we use are available in many different styles: standing-seam roofing, panel roofing, and look-alikes including tiles or slate. Standing-seam metal roofs have large ribs, which require crimping or soldering to connect them. Panel roofing panels resemble standing-seam roofing however, these require being screwed down. With the exception of the screw-down panels, metal roofing installations require special training and is not a DIY job.
