Metal roofs are surprisingly lightweight and are great at reflecting heat from the sun, a characteristic that helps homeowners save energy on cooling bills (and may even qualify for tax credits!)
Worlds apart from the clunky corrugated tin of times past, modern metal roofing in Cornwall using zinc, copper, and aluminium provides a long-term waterproofing solution. Metal roofing can be supplied in a wide range of looks and finishes, from domestic housing through to commercial property needs. Metal roofs are favoured for their fire-resistant qualities, longevity, and speed of installation by a qualified metal roofing contractor such as Giant Roofing. Each of our metal sheet roofing materials are extremely corrosion-resistant and have high levels of durability, giving you peace of mind.
