Metal Tiles Vs Colorbond

Good question is what is better? Colorbond or Metal Tiles.

The answer is: there is market for each of them.

Metal Tiles are great for any extensions, renovations or home additions when you have already a tiled roof over the main part of the building. In this case you would like to match your new extension roof with existing tiled roof. Metal tiles would be the perfect solution for it.

First the metal tile roofing sheets are light and therefore do not require a heavy frame (unlike concrete tiles). So you can start saving cost right there.

Secondly the metal tile roofing sheets can be installed on any roof with a pitch starting from 5 deg. (unlike conventional tiles that require pitch of 17 deg), so you can use metal tiles on a lot of low pitch projects.

Metal tiles come in a number of colours to match your existing colour.

The profile of metal tiles will match well a large number of known tile profiles.

Metal tiles are strong and weather resistant and provide a perfect roofing solution for any wind areas.

Finlay the metal tile roofing sheets are easy to install and in a lot of cases are installed by the owner-builders.
