An In-Depth Look at Different Roofing Materials

Rollsec is interested in providing consumers with high-quality roofing materials. In this article, we provide an in-depth look at the different materials we have on offer.

Architectural Cladding

Architectural cladding provides consumers with the opportunity to achieve a modern look for their roofing or walling projects. It comes in a wide variety of colours and can be used for many different purposes. It is extremely versatile and highly adaptable to the preferences of the user. Typical uses include exterior upgrades and practical wall cladding in both commercial and industrial designs such as shop fit outs, large-scale wall cladding and even feature walls.

Architectural cladding is versatile, reliable and durable. It is also cost-effective, particularly for large buildings, as it is significantly cheaper than alternative materials.

Corrugated Roofing

Corrugated roofing is a classic and well-used sheeting that is used for both domestic and commercial locations. It comes in a large range of colours, from the classic beiges to dark greens, and is used for a variety of applications such as roofing, walling and fencing. For domestic use, 0.42BMT is common, whereas 0.48BMT is recommended for industrial application.

Corrugated sheeting is well-loved in the community. It complements both traditional and contemporary architecture and provides a classic, clean look.

Five Rib

Five Rib sheeting is strong and durable, making it ideal for many different usages in domestic and commercial settings. It comes in a great range of colours, ensuring that it will meet whichever style preferences the client has. Five Rib is also used in both commercial and domestic buildings; however, it is generally favoured in commercial settings as it is extremely weather resistant. Its most common use is on low-pitched roofs or long-spans. For domestic application, 0.42BMT is commonly used, whereas 0.48BMT is favoured for industrial applications. Five Rib roofing is strong, durable and highly resistant to the elements.

Polycarbonate

Polycarbonate roof sheets are a new type of sheeting that is translucent and lightweight, and yet extremely durable. They come in a wide variety of colours, including clear, opal, smooth cream, grey, light bronze and dark tint colours. They are also available in a range of styles, including five rib, greca, and corrugated roof sheets, therefore being highly customisable and meeting a range of client needs.

Polycarbonate sheets are a material that can be used for roofing. Although they are lightweight and malleable, they are highly durable, providing high impact and element resistance. On top of this, polycarbonate sheeting provides thermal insulation.
