Common issues with metal roofing
Peninsula conditions create specific challenges for metal roofing systems that require attention to detail and quality installation practices.
- Loose or perished screw washers – EPDM washers deteriorate in UV exposure, compromising weather seals
- Rust in laps and cut edges – Salt air accelerates corrosion at vulnerable points where protective coatings are compromised
- Poorly detailed flashings – Inadequate overlap or incompatible materials cause leak points around penetrations
Quiet, comfortable roofs
Modern metal roofing installations can achieve excellent acoustic and thermal performance with appropriate design and materials.
Combine sarking and roof blanket for significant acoustic and thermal gains. Proper insulation eliminates the "tin roof" effect while improving energy efficiency year-round.
Detailing that matters
Professional installation focuses on details that prevent water penetration and ensure long-term performance in coastal conditions.
Correct turn-ups/downs and scribed flashings stop wind-driven rain effectively. Proper overlap sequences and compatible sealants create weatherproof barriers.
See the Steel Australia technical guides for installation standards and best practices.
Professional Tip: Marine-grade stainless steel fasteners provide superior longevity in Peninsula conditions compared to standard galvanised options.
Material selection for coastal areas
Colorbond advantages
Engineered specifically for Australian conditions, Colorbond provides superior corrosion resistance and colour retention compared to imported alternatives.
Profile options
Standing seam profiles eliminate exposed fasteners for premium weather resistance, while corrugated sheets offer excellent value with proven performance.
