Exploring the different types of Roofing Sheets:

The roofing industry in India has a significant turnover every year. This can be attributed both to the huge population residing in the country and a paradigm shift in the Indian roofing industry. As there has been a significant transformation in the modelling of houses, from clay-made roofs to ones made of GI profile sheets, the types and kinds of roofing sheets have also gone through a massive change. All of these sheets have their own sets of advantages and disadvantages. You can choose the roofing sheet of your choice after carefully weighing out the pros and cons. 

Types of Roofing Sheets:-

● Corrugated Roofing Sheet: These sheets have repeated folds at regular intervals across their surface. Corrugated roofing sheets are the first choice for any agricultural building. The ridges and grooves across their surface allow them to be of utility and provide strength, especially the wavy structure ensuring that the sheet is not susceptible to erosion and rust. 

Due to its extremely durable character, it is ideal for garages, sheds, and porches. Moreover, as they are usually built using lightweight metals such as aluminium, they can stand resistant to changes in weather conditions. But, due to the increasing pollution level all across the globe, the sheets must be maintained every five to ten years. 

Coated with polyester paint, the corrugated roofing sheets often have galvanized steel sheets as the base. The biggest advantage of corrugated roofing sheets is their durability, average life span and economic productivity.

● Metal Roofing Sheet: The most important advantage of metal roofing sheets is their excellent insulating capabilities. Metals like tin, copper, aluminium and zinc are mixed to form this sheet. Various designs and categories of metal roofing sheets are available in the market. The metal roof sheeting price depends on the kind of design chosen. JSW Coated Steel has a wide variety of metal roofing sheets for you. They offer you the best available options, whether based on economic efficiency or quality. 

They can be regulated and customized to make any structure. Due to their highly tolerable features, metal roofing sheets can also withstand adverse weather conditions. 

● Polycarbonate Roofing Sheet: Like metal roofing sheets, they are available in many categories. These are primarily used in large-scale enterprises or industrial buildings due to their immense strength quotient and insulation characteristic. The cost of maintaining polycarbonate sheets is minimal. Hence, they are used in places such as walkways, display sign boards for advertising and swimming pool areas, which serve as effective roofing options.

Foam-backed and clear polycarbonate sheets are the two kinds of polycarbonate roofing sheets with a wide range of uses. While the former is used in industrial buildings, the latter is ideal for places which require natural sunlight or lighting to come through the roof. 

Which Metal is the Best for Roofing Material?

● Aluminium: It is mainly used for corrugated roofing sheets. They have high resistant powers against saltwater erosion and can be long-lasting. 

● Copper: Roofing sheets made of copper have highly durable characteristics and boast low melting temperatures.
