FAQs About Metal Roofing Sheets
Do Metal Roofing Sheets Rust?
Metal roofing sheets are prone to rust, however, that's not the case with the roofing sheets that you'll come across on this page. To prevent erosion and ensure that each sheet has a long lifespan, each sheet is zinc-coated on both sides.
What Are the Different Applications of Metal Roof Sheets?
Metal roof sheets are extremely versatile. Although this roofing solution is most commonly used for timber-framed roofing and other roof cladding projects, many of our customers also use metal roofing sheets for a wide variety of buildings. Some examples include barns, stables, kennels, garages, and sheds, to name a few.
How Long Do Corrugated Metal Roof Sheets Last?
Provided your metal sheets are installed properly and maintained as advised by the manufacturer, they can easily last for several decades.
Are Metal Roofing Sheets Hard to Install?
No, they're not. They are very simple to install and the whole installation process can be completed without the use of any specialised tools and equipment.
Can You Walk on Metal Roofing Sheets?
That would depend on the strength and nature of the foundation that you're placing the metal sheets over. The average roofing sheet can't really get damaged if someone walks on it (provided there is support beneath). That said, if there is no solid support beneath, it's best for you to avoid walking on them.
Do Metal Roofing Sheets Get Hot?
If the metal roofing sheets are exposed to direct sunlight, yes, they will get pretty hot. What's more is that if there is no proper insulation beneath the sheets, the heat can quite easily get transferred from the outside to the inside of the building.
