If you’re still on the fence, here are five reasons why you should consider a roof replacement.

1) Metal roof replacements look new for longer

Colorbond metal roofing in Adelaide can be supplied in a variety of natural and contemporary colours. Metal roofing is far better than concrete tiles which quickly fade and become discoloured by weathering. A Colorbond roof will retain its colour for many years to come. Plus, all our roof replacements also come with a 10 year workmanship warranty. When we start work on your roof, we treat your home as though it were our own.

2) Metal roofing is quicker to install

Metal roofing not only lasts longer, but it’s also quicker to install. This is because metal roofing comes in large panels or sheets. Whilst tiled roofing materials are heavy and fragile, metal roof replacement materials are lightweight, assemble quicker and hassle-free. Think about it, roof tiles fit together like pieces of a puzzle, which means your roofing contractor needs to be on-site for longer, fitting each piece together. Further, structural reinforcement to your property may be needed to support the heavy weight of a concrete tile roof. That’s why it’s a smart choice to choose a Colorbond roof replacement for your home in Adelaide.

3) A Colorbond replacement is fire retardant

Metal roofing provides better protection from fire, especially if you live in a bushfire prone area. In the event of a bushfire or lightning strike, a metal roof will not catch fire or melt. Instead, burning debris slides off your sloped metal roof, instead of falling into your home. Our metal roofing includes a fire retardant under-layer that prevents embers from blowing under your roof and into your attic. While concrete tiles may be fire retardant, they often crack under excessive heat which leaves your roof space exposed.

4) A metal roof replacement keeps moss and vegetation away

With over 97 years of roofing experience, we’ve seen it all, and one sight we’re all too familiar with is moss growing on tiled roofs. Moss spores readily colonize tiled roof surfaces, and grow into a thick green carpet that retains rainwater. Eventually, moss will find its way under roof tiles, and this lets water into your roof space where it becomes damp. However, a metal roof replacement provides a slick surface that prevents invasive vegetation from growing. If you’d like to avoid time-consuming moss removal, and keep your roof space dry, we strongly recommend a metal roof replacement.

5) Metal roofing lasts longer and is more durable

Investing in a new roof for your Adelaide home is considerable investment. Therefore, it’s crucial that your choice material is built to last. A metal roof replacement is guaranteed to greatly out-last a tiled roof. Generally, a metal roof will last about seventy years, whereas a tile roof will be lucky to last fifty years. Another great reason to consider a metal roof replacement is that metal roofing won’t crack, won’t corrode, and can withstand winds up to 220 km/h. Not even the worst hail-storms can penetrate your metal roof, whereas concrete tiles are may crack or become dislodged by high winds.

Roof Replacements – 3 Reasons You Need to Replace Your Roof Today.

3 reasons to replace your roof in Adelaide today: prevent structural failure, remove asbestos & prevent fire risks. Get pre-approved finance.

When renovating your home, the most obvious area to replace is often overlooked. Replacing your aging roof is essential as the years move on, not only for structural integrity and resale value, but for your health. Here are 3 reasons why a delay in replacing your old roof might negatively impact on your long-term health.

Water Damage

Water damage not only devalues your most prized asset, it can also cause multiple health issues— and serious ones. The silent nature of water often means extensive damage occurs over long periods of time. Once noticed in the roof cavity, it often means pricy repair bills and sometimes an entirely new structure. It also means an ideal environment for mould and mildew to grow—a fungus that can cause life threatening respiratory illnesses. Pre-existing conditions like asthma and bronchitis are also exacerbated.

Among other hazards, such as structural integrity due to persistent and unchecked leaks, water damage can wreak havoc on electrical components often hidden away in roof cavities. If your home is like most in Adelaide, it was likely built long before you purchased it. It makes sense to hire a qualified roofing contractor in Adelaide to replace your ageing tile or asbestos roof with a Colorbond steel roof. Not only does a Colorbond roof look great, but it lasts almost a life-time.

Asbestos Risk 

Lightweight asbestos roofing was considered a modern engineering marvel and credited with providing lightweight and affordable roofing. However, with the added convenience and affordability came with a dangerous price. Damaged asbestos roofing materials can cause serious health impacts for individuals who are exposed to airborne micro particles. If you are looking for an asbestos removalist company in Adelaide, you’ve come to the right place. We are one of a few roofing companies in Adelaide licensed to perform their own asbestos removals.

Today, asbestos roofing is still a real threat to home owners of older houses. Used predominantly prior to 1987, asbestos was a commonly used material for construction because of its insulating and waterproof properties, and affordability. Even into the 1990s, products containing asbestos were used in items such as brake pads, flooring and wall lining.

The cancer causing asbestos can be found in both corrugated roofing sheets and shingles, as well as ceiling insulation, and is responsible for some 10 000 deaths; with a predicted 45 000 more deaths in the near decades, asbestos is still a very real problem. Minimal exposure to asbestos from airborne particles can be detrimental to those exposed, hence the urgency to remove the silent killer. Organising inspections and hiring a licensed asbestos removalist company in Adelaide to remove your asbestos roofing is paramount.

Fire Hazards

Fire hazards are self-explanatory in that we all know what fire can do, but what causes these fire hazards in the first place? By putting off a much needed roof replacement, holes and damage in shingles, tiles and Colorbond allow for rain and rodents to creep in. Water trickling into the cavity of a roof can create electrical hazards with the circuitry and panel boxes, while rodents and birds nesting in the roof can also create fire hazards as well as other health hazards.

Holes in the roof also provide space for flying embers to get in, so if you’re in a bushfire prone area, it might be time to re-evaluate the condition of your roof.

Knowing when your roof was installed will give you insight into potential problem areas, especially concerning asbestos exposure. For water damage of any kind, signs of rotting boards, sagging roof lines and trapped moisture indicate bigger problems; if moss is growing on your roof; a mould/mildew problem grows exponentially.

An aging roof requiring replacement needs quick attention. If in doubt about your roof’s integrity, seek advice from a reputable roof specialist today.
