Metal roofing is becoming more popular than ever in Australia. In fact, in 2023, it was the most common type of roofing used in building construction—accounting for almost 42% of installed roofs.
Why has metal roofing become so popular in Australia? Let’s explore.
They last a long time
One of the most significant benefits of metal roofs is their durability. Most metal roofs can last up to 50 years with proper maintenance, making them a long-term investment that can save you money over time.
They are energy-efficient
Metal roofs can save homeowners up to 40% in energy costs by reflecting solar energy. This means less heat absorption and lower cooling costs during summer months, which is particularly good for climates like QLD.
They offer robust safety
Metal roofs are known for their resistance to extreme weather conditions, including heavy rain, snow, high winds, and even bushfires. This makes them a safe choice for any location, particularly in NSW and QLD.
They are aesthetically pleasing
Metal roofs come in a variety of styles and colours, allowing you to choose a design that complements your property and enhances its curb appeal. This not only improves the looks but also enhances property value.
They can lower the environmental impact
Metal roofs are 100% recyclable, making them an environmentally friendly choice. Additionally, many metal roofs are made from at least 25% recycled materials, further reducing their environmental impact.
When it comes to businesses, metal roofing offers several specific advantages too.
It is cost-efficient
While the initial cost of a metal roof could be higher than other roofing materials, the long-term savings make it a more cost-effective choice. The durability and low maintenance needs of metal roofs mean fewer repair and replacement costs over time.
It enhances property value
A new metal roof can significantly enhance the curb appeal of your premises. According to commercial property agents, nearly half of a premises’ curb appeal comes from its roof. Some estimates claim as much as 6% in value can be added to your sale price.
It is environmentally-friendly
As mentioned earlier, metal roofs are often made from recycled materials and are 100% recyclable at the end of their life. This can contribute to your business’s sustainability goals and enhance your reputation as an environmentally responsible company.

Can I use a sealant to fix a downpipe leak?
Yes, for minor leaks, waterproof sealants can offer a temporary solution. But, it’s important to fix the underlying issue and consider a more permanent solution, such as replacing the damaged section.
How do I know if my downpipe needs replacement?
Signs such as extensive rust, multiple leaks, or visible structural damage indicate the need for replacement. If repairs become frequent, it may be more cost-effective to replace the entire downpipe.
How do I unclog a downpipe?
Use a plumber’s snake or a high-pressure water jet to remove debris and blockages. Regular maintenance, such as installing gutter guards, can help prevent clogs.
