Metal roofs may have a higher installation cost, but they offer better long-term savings through reduced energy consumption and lower maintenance needs.

Metal roofing is available in various colours and profiles, offering a versatile look that can complement any architectural style. With corrugared metal being an ever-present staple of Australian architectural heritage, modern steel roofing is also adaptable to classic building designs.

Installing metal roofs is generally easier and quicker than installing tile roofs, as metal comes in large sheets which covers a larger area per unit installed. While the initial cost of metal roofing can be higher, it typically translates to long-term savings in maintenance and energy efficiency.

Above is a list of factors that will impact the final cost of your project.

Tiled roofs are known to crack and break under extreme weather conditions, while modern steel roofing like COLORBOND® Coolmax® are specifically engineered to reflect up to 77% of the sun's radiant heat.

Concrete tiles typically can last up to 60 years, but require ongoing maintenance and replacement. Metal roofs have a similar lifespan with much lower maintenance, but premium metals like zinc and copper can last up to 100 years or more.
