Metal Roof Tiles and Spandek Roofs are the Perfect
The popularity of lightweight steel canopies in the construction world is increasing. It makes sense, as we have discussed in the article on minimalist lightweight steel canopy models that canopies with lightweight steel structures are easy to combine with many variations of roof coverings or tiles. Consumers get many choices of combinations, including: single frame with metal tiles, single frame with polycarbonate roof, double frame with spandek roof, and many other choices.
Of the several types of roof coverings, there are roof coverings made of lightweight steel (lightweight steel tiles), namely metal tiles and spandek roofs. Lightweight steel canopies when combined with lightweight steel tiles will form a very sturdy roof construction because lightweight steel has a very high tensile strength.
The following are the types of lightweight steel tiles that are commonly available on the market:
1. Metal Roof Tiles
Metal roof tiles consist of plain metal tiles and metal stone tiles (sandy).
These tiles are made of zincalume, in the form of sheets like zinc tiles. The way to install metal tiles on lightweight steel canopies is by planting them on the purlin beams using bolts. The sizes per sheet available on the market vary, namely with a length of approximately 80cm, a width of between 80cm - 150cm (the more the number of layers, the wider), and a thickness of between 0.25mm - 0.50mm.
Metal roof tiles have many color choices. Metal roof tiles with a thickness of 0.22mm weigh around 1.5kg / sheet. While metal roof tiles with a thickness of 0.44mm weigh around 5.38kg / sheet. Quite light, right? This makes the canopy roof frame not have to carry too heavy a load.
However, considering the very thin structure of the roof tiles, workers must still be careful when installing them, not to step on the middle of the roof tiles. One of the disadvantages of metal roof tiles is the noisy sound caused when heavy rain hits the roof. But that's not a big deal, because acoustic technology in this modern era is very sophisticated. Many things can be done to overcome this problem.
2. Spandek Roof
Spandek roofs are made of steel with high tensile strength Zincalume and Clean Colorbond. Zincalume is a steel plate with a composition of 55% Aluminum, 43.5% Zinc and 1.5% Silicon. While Clean Colorbond is colored steel with a Zincalume base material. The high-quality primer layer on Zincalume increases corrosion resistance and ensures paint quality. Not only for canopies, this roof covering is also often used for residential, industrial and shop roofs. In the past, spandek roofs only had 1 color, namely silver, but now the colors are diverse along with the increasing demand for spandek roofs. In terms of size, it also varies. The thickness of the spandek roof varies from 0.3 to 0.5 mm. The standard length is 6-7 m, but if the user wants a longer or shorter dimension, it can be specially produced by the factory. While the width size varies greatly, ranging from 600 mm to 1060 mm. If you look at its very thin size (thinner than other roof tiles), some customers doubt its strength. But once again, because the basic material of this roof tile is zincalume which has high strength, so even though it is super thin, the spandek roof is still shatterproof. That's a brief overview of lightweight steel roof tiles. Interesting, isn't it? Surely you'll want to install them in your home right away.
If you're planning to build a canopy with a lightweight steel frame or replace your roof with lightweight steel roof tiles, don't worry; we can provide lightweight steel installation services at a great price.
