Roofing Sheets
Metal sheeting is the most common roofing material for residential buildings.
Used for
- Main roof covering
- Carports and verandas
Quality considerations
- Check the sheet's coating and gauge (thickness) — thinner, uncoated sheets are cheaper but corrode and dent faster.
- Confirm the roof pitch and truss design suit the sheet type being used.
Common mistakes
- • Under-specifying gauge/coating to reduce upfront cost, leading to earlier replacement.
- • Poor fixing and flashing detail, causing leaks at joints and edges.
Priced per sheet or per square metre; coating type and gauge are the biggest price drivers.
