Metal roofing use:

Galvanized steel

There are different types of steel, all of them tough and rugged. What separates Galvanized steel from these is that it has been chemically treated and mixed with Zinc. This is now steel coated with layers of zinc. This chemical process not only brings with it a number of benefits but also eliminates the inborn weakness of steel one being that it easily rusts and corrodes.

Galvanized steel roofing is considered to be one of the best lightweight roofing options and is therefore popular in many areas.

Aluminum

Aluminum is one of the longest lasting metals but a bit more expensive than steel. Aluminum roofing with Kynar paints lasts for over 50 years. Also aluminum roofs are lightweight, corrosion resistant with high natural reflectivity making it energy efficient.

Copper

Copper is the most expensive compared to galvanized steel and aluminum. It has a high recycling value and variety of potential uses Apart from being the best lightweight and energy efficient roofing that withstands the harshest conditions of nature like snow, extreme heat and high winds, copper shingles are also architecturally elegant with modern appearance and style.

Other than these Galvalume (a blend of zinc, aluminum and silicon coated steel), stone coated steel and stainless steel are also used for metal roofing.

Asphalt shingles

Asphalt shingles are a type of roof shingles, widely used because they cost less and are easy to install. There are two types of asphalt shingles being used; organic and fiber glass. Organic asphalt contains 40% more asphalt which makes it less environment friendly and as it is paper based it is also prone to fire damage. Fiberglass shingles are waterproof.
