For many years, aluminum roofs have been crowning industrial and commercial buildings and private buildings in America and Europe. As such, they have gained a spotless reputation of wear-resistant, durable, and not needing current repair of pitched roofs. In our country, aluminum roofing for several reasons did not hit wide distribution and did not become as popular as overseas. But at the moment, we can observe the following pattern: a roof made of aluminum is becoming relevant in the cottage housing market. Often, the buyer chooses aluminum slate from various types of roofing. You probably ask why?
There may be many options, but aluminum alone!
In contrast to such widely known and very common materials as asbestos slate, roofing material, tile, galvanized steel and many others, the aluminum roof has a lot of advantages.
- The insignificant weight of this metal facilitates the entire roof structure (the weight of sheet aluminum is 1.5-2 kg per square meter).
- The life of an aluminum roof is 70 years or more.
- Roof construction of such material does not require large expenditures, both physical and material.
- When laying aluminum, you can completely do without additional means of flooring, such as roofing material or other similar materials.
- Excellent, time-proven corrosion resistance.
- This type of roof allows you to preserve the aesthetic appearance of its smooth surface for many years.
- A properly installed aluminum roof will protect your home from leaks, hurricanes and strong hail.
- In terms of price, quality and durability, an aluminum roof is the most profitable option.
- The ability of this metal to reflect the rays of the sun prevents the formation of an ice crust. This becomes very relevant in cold climates. In this case, the snow melts evenly, and the need to regularly throw it off the roof disappears.
- The aluminum alloy from which the roof is made is an environmentally friendly material, since during operation it does not emit substances that would be dangerous to human health.
- Aluminum from sparks from a chimney, direct fire or with a lightning strike will not light up, because it is able to dissipate an electric charge.
- Aluminum roof is not noisier than roofs made of other materials.
- Repair of an aluminum roof no need to carry out regularly.
