What it is used for
The roof protects the whole building. Corrugated galvanised sheet is the most common and most affordable; aluzinc and pre-painted sheet last longer and resist corrosion better; tiles offer the best thermal comfort but cost more.
Quantities, brands and buying tips
Which roof covering?
- Corrugated galvanised sheet — cheapest, most common.
- Aluzinc — better corrosion resistance, longer life.
- Pre-painted sheet — attractive and anti-corrosion, coloured finishes.
- Concrete / clay tiles — best thermal comfort, heavier and pricier.
Quantities
Allow a 10–15 % overlap, i.e. 10–15 % more than the net roof area. Minimum pitch is about 15–20 % for corrugated sheet. Include twisted nails or coach screws with sealing washers.
Buying tips
- Check the actual thickness (0.25–0.40 mm): thinned sheets deform and last less.
- Choose aluzinc or pre-painted near the coast (salt air, fast corrosion).
- Buy the sealing accessories at the same time (ridges, verges).
