Metal tiles are quite a popular building material used in private construction as a roof. What are the advantages and disadvantages of this roof covering? Let’s figure it out. Even at the end of the 19th century, almost all of the leading business tycoons at that time tried to cover as many houses as possible in their possessions with a metal roof, in order to avoid the likelihood of fires that often occurred on previous materials..
So people in our area began to appreciate metal, precisely as a reliable roofing material. The main advantage of metal tiles is its strength and wear resistance. Also, with high-quality connections, metal tiles reliably protect housing from moisture.
For roofs of a simple shape, for example, gable, metal tiles are almost the best option, since usually it is possible to order long (about 6 m) sheets for convenient, fast and high-quality work. Also, the advantage is the lightness of both the material itself and the ease of work. with him. The metal tile is laid on a wooden rafter system with a crate, and screwed on with special screws, bolts and self-tapping screws (depending on the complexity of the design you have chosen).
Among the shortcomings, one can single out only an increased level of noise from the coating during rain (which, however, is solved by laying good noise insulation, which will serve you as reliable thermal insulation) and the possible fading of flowers in the sun, when buying a low-quality material, so be careful and ask the seller for a certificate product quality!!
