Corrugated steel roofing

Residential metal roofing: corrugated steel roofing, also known as corrugated galvanized steel roofing system, has become since the 1950s the most common used roofing system known to the roofing industry world wide. Used before this period especially as an optional way to coat agricultural and industrial building and structures or to simply form a fence for different uses -let’s take for example the fence surrounding a construction site. 

Then again, when the traditional roofing system applied until then proved to be not only expensive and difficult to be installed, but also required constant maintenance, the clients of the companies that were present in this industry showed interest for a different alternative: corrugated steel roofing. That was the moment that made the corrugated steel roofing to step up from a low used option to high and various used way of roofing different structures. Not only that the costs for its purchase were below the traditional roofing systems, the corrugated steel roofing was easier to transport, install and maintain. 

Constantly looking for improvement of the materials used in this type of roofing, manufacturers made the materials involved in this industry to be more reliable, more enduring to various climate changes and more lighter than before. 

The corrugated steel roofing is made by overlapping the panels or the sheets on the designated structure. Being the first choice in the mind of architects, contractors and building owners, corrugated steel roofing is easily mass produced and it can be given different shapes and designs, as well as, depending on the project, the panels can have various weights. Nowadays, there is such a large number of buildings that are using corrugated steel roofing that have panels of so many different shaped panels installed, that you can easily mistake a steel panel with an old-fashioned ceramic one. To give you only three examples to see the various use of the corrugated steel roofing: a normal house in one of the many suburbs around so many cities around the world, an industrial look-a-like hypermarket near your home, a large soccer stadium that has 40,000 ft steel sheeting installed as a roof. As you can see, there are as many possibilities of using corrugated steel roofing as many projects that are all around the world.

 And it is the main choice in roofing, because of the characteristics that this system is offering:

• • durability and portability; 
  • easy to install -if you’re doing this for your house or for your office building; a life span that goes anywhere between 50 to 100+ years; 
  • the endurance of the materials facing nature’s harsh elements -storms, hurricanes, acid rains, heavy snowing, blizzards, etc.; 
  • resistant to fire and sparkling; 
  • can sustain a surprisingly over-weight burden.
  •  The owners of houses can be assured that, properly installed with additional roofing paper under the metal sheets, corrugated steel roofing is providing a very good insulation of their home. Building owners that decided, for various reasons, to change the location of their buildings or to demolish them and don’t want to lose money buying a new roofing system, can uninstall the corrugated steel roofing system they have and reuse it on a different project. 
  •  All of these make the corrugated steel roofing the best solution for everyone. Check http://www.metalroofingsystems.org/ for more info.
