New Roof Material Options
If you're looking to build new, the type of roofing material you choose is incredibly important. There are several factors involved in choosing the right roofing material for your project — your location and climatic conditions, architectural style, personal taste and, of course, cost.
Here in New Zealand, there are a wide variety of roof types to choose from, and Orkney Roofing and Waterproofing specialises in metal (steel) roofing and cladding and membrane roofing (including Warmroof). Read on to find out more and discover what option is best suited to your next build.
Metal Roofing
Corrugate is a firm favourite with Kiwis because of its truly classic look that is great on all different styles of building. Used for both roofing and cladding, you’ll never go wrong with classic Corrugate.
Dimondek 400 Dimondek 400 adds architectural interest to your roof, with its broad angular ribs and wide pans it brings modern styling to your roof. The concealed fix system provides a strong clean finish with no visible fixings. Ideally suited for modern contemporary homes, Dimondek 400 is the ultimate bold statement in roofs. Dimondek 400 can be rolled onsite, meaning longer lengths with no steps in the roof, giving greater design capability.
Metal roofing is New Zealand’s choice of roof and the most economical way to roof or clad your building. Steel roofing and cladding systems come in a variety of profiles and colours to suit your desired aesthetic.
