Polycarbonate Roof Replacement – Product Update

Polycarbonate roofing has undergone a revolution. The newer polycarbonate products are high tech wonders that give an outdoor space a touch of architectural glamour. Polycarbonate still comes in traditional roofing profiles such as corrugated and Klip-lok, but the newer multiwall and high-end glass lookalike products provide a totally different look to your outdoor space.

Great UV resistance makes today’s polycarbonate products pleasant to sit under too. Better yet, they won’t turn milky and brittle over time either like the older products.

Want curves? We can even do this with today’s polycarbonate products.

Polycarbonate Roof Replacement - Polypiu

As polycarbonate installers, Roofrite has access to the recognisable name products such as Ampelite and Palram. We’ve recently added Polypiu to our supplier list so we are now able to offer our clients installation PolyPiU polycarbonate products. One of the benefits of this Italian designed product is that it comes in 2m wide sheets. This means we can cut it to sit over existing rafters eliminating the need for additional battens to be installed and therefore creating a much slicker finish. PolyPiu also has a simple joining system making installation a smooth process.

Thinking about Polycarbonate for your outdoor area? Have a look at these two Polypiu projects we’ve recently completed in Coburg and Brunswick.

Coburg - The Brief

The above pic is the original structure we were called out to quote on. The client wanted to replace the existing polycarb roof with a more modern flat sheet product. The verandah structure is roughly 6m x 2m or 11m2. While the roof was off, the client also wanted to paint the timber to a lighter colour.

The above pictures show the end result. Painting the structure has certainly helped give the whole thing a lift and the new roof looks thoroughly modern. A great result for around $4,500.

Brunswick – The Brief

Pergola Roof Replacement - before (image)

The above pic shows the original pergola roof. Aged. Milky. Mouldy. The client wanted to replace it with something more modern. This verandah structure is roughly 17m2.

Brunswick – The Result

The above pictures show the newly installed Polypiu Carbopiu product in Opal. The new roof has the effect of returning a sturdiness to the structure and the Opal color gives a great luminosity to the area. Another great result for around $4,500 too.

After spending ages sifting through reviews online as well as listing the job on a website, I finally found a decent business to replace rusted box guttering as well as repair a separate roof leak next to the Air conditioning unit. When it rained hard enough, water would pour into the ceiling and exit through the downlights. After dealing with some of the "cowboys"out there, (some even had good reviews), my opinion has been that if they can come around at short notice and want cash with no paperwork, then avoid at all costs. I'm a few hundred dollars lighter for this life experience. Some didn't even bother to call back. Fortunately I found Roofrite. The whole process was well managed from start to finish. Someone did the quote with an estimated start date as well as ensuring the dimensions of the new gutter would comply with building code. Then someone else came to measure up the job. The tradies arrived on the date they said they would and did the job, to a very high standard and took away the old Guttering. Finally the office sent me photos taken of the job and a VBA certificate. I can definitely recommend these people who were very professional and friendly. I no longer need to race for the buckets when there is a downpour! Update I was waiting for a really bad storm to hit before doing a follow up review to my original August 2022 post above. Well we got that recently. I am happy to report that after the morning storm that hit Melbourne last week there were no leaks. Excellent quality workmanship is all I can say. Damon

We had a large job to replace existing boxed in gutters, fix leaks and replace asbestos lining. The team at Roofrite did a great job to sorry out all the issues, even the ones found after starting the job. They kept us informed of start dates, progress and any issues found. Communication from all of the team was exceptional. We feel like we have had a very high quality job done and feel assured if we have any issues, we can call them to come back anytime. Would definetly use again and recommend for trustworthiness and good value.

Excellent workmanship, communication and lovely people. Highly recommend every part of the organisation.

Bec Wood

Roofrite were great to deal with every step of the way, from the quote through to install. The admin team were equally lovely and responsive, our whole experience was extremely positive and we'd definitely recommend them and use them again in the future.

Roofrite re-did the roof at the front of our house and installed 9 skylights. They are an extremely well run organisation who communicate very well. The workers are neat, tidy, polite and extremely high quality. We had no problems with anything they did and they took great pride in their craft. Absolutely love our seemingly leak proof and bright new home!

Tatiana Mauri

Jamie and the team did a wonderful job installing our skylight. We have used Roofrite a number of times and have been very happy with the outcome. They're very professional and we highly recommend them. Karen and Tatiana

2. Just wanted to provide some feedback -; From the outset I felt great confidence with Kym, he certainly knows his stuff and made me feel assured that what we wanted could be achieved and actually delivered. It wasn’t as simple as putting on the cladding but we had various issues with leakage and the lack of water proofing by the correct placement of flashing's etc. Then the day finally came were the boys showed up to do the job. The “boys” consisted of Jamie, Jermain, James and ( Chris on occasion). I have to say as a business owner, all of them are very impressive, punctual, hardworking and good at what they do… In particular Jamie is excellent as the leader of the gang and his knowledge and eye for detail is impeccable, he is an absolute asset to your business. I was so impressed by him and his ability to communicate with me what some of the issues were and how he was going to fix them. So overall I am beyond happy with the work and the outcome and it was my pleasure dealing with the boys. Kind regards, Erin.
