Choosing the Right Steel Roofing Profile for Your Home

Gearing up to choose a new roof for your home? It’s important to choose the right steel roofing product to ensure the best protection and aesthetic appeal. Steel is a popular choice for roofing due to its durability, strength, and ability to withstand Nz’s somewhat hectic elements. There are several different steel roofing profiles available, including corrugate, trapezoidal, and tray, each with its own unique benefits. In this article, we’ll explore these options, helping you decide which one is right for you!

Our preferred supplier of steel roofing material is Colorsteel. They stock a range of steel roofing profiles that are designed to suit NZ’s different roofing needs. Locally produced and they offer great warranties.

Corrugated steel roof profile

The corrugated steel roofing profile is a classic option that has been used for generations. Due to a simple, yet effective design that is perfect for those who want a traditional look for their home. The corrugated roofing profile is also very versatile and can be used on a range of roof types, including gable, skillion, and hip roofs. If we had to put a number on it, we would say 95% of the roofs we lay are corrugate.

Another option to ponder is the trapezoidal profile. This style offers a more modern, sleek look that is perfect for contemporary homes. The trapezoidal profile has a smooth, flat surface, which is ideal for those who want a roof that is easy to clean and maintain.

The tray roofing profile is another modern option that is a bit of a head turner. The tray roofing profile has a smooth, concave surface that provides a sleek and stylish look. This profile is ideal for those who want a roof that screams both modern and functional. As a cherry on top, the tray profile is a great option for those who want a roof that is low maintenance and easy to clean.

Once you’ve decided on a steel roofing profile, it’s important to also ensure that you have the right grade of steel for your environment. Houses in New Zealand that are closer to the water or who are more exposed are often better off with a stronger grade of steel than those in the city. This is because the environment near the water can be a bit more corrosive, requiring a more durable material.
