So why would you choose to a galvanised steel roof?
Well for some people there is no option. If you have a flat roof with either a very shallow slope or no slope at all, colorbond is really your only choice.
Colorbond can also help with reducing cooling and heating costs. When properly insulated, colorbond is quite thermally efficient, helping your house to stay cooler in summer and warmer in winter. The insulation can also help to reduce noise caused by rain.
Tiled roofs can potentially add character to a home but are limited to more earthy colours. Advantage is that they can be used in extreme marine environments in lieu of Colorbond Ultra and Stainless Steel. The trade off is tiles are prone to cracking which may lead to leaking in the roof space and subsequent damage. There is a belief that dark tiles will absorb more heat leading to a hotter roof space and which puts pressure on the ceiling insulation.
