What roofing material is the best for Australian homes?

The Gold Coast is known for its warmth and sunshine all year round, but storms are common during the summer months.

Corrugated iron roofing and steel roofing offer several benefits on the Gold Coast. They help homes to stay cool during the summer, saving on air-conditioning, and are also able to withstand heavy winds and rain. These types of roofs require very little maintenance; however, they can be prone to rust so protective coatings will be required for homes located near the ocean or waterways.

Asphalt roofing absorbs more heat than metal roofing. However, it’s an affordable and long-lasting option and is available in a range of different colours and styles. It also provides protection against heavy winds and summer storms and won’t be damaged by extreme heat. Asphalt roofing may be a more suitable option for coastal properties and is relatively easy to install.

A flat roof can be installed over a patio or outdoor living area to provide shelter from both the sun and heavy rain. This allows you to enjoy outdoor living year round and is a great option for those who want to make the most of their outside space.
