Roofing - colourcoat urban, Sarnafil, Alkor Draka 'ALKORPLAN' or Bauder THERMOFOL

May 25, 2012 2 Replies

We are looking at materials for our shallow pitch roof on our extension.



One suggestion is colourcoat urban from Corus (now Tata) - a metal sheet system. Another sugggestion is a membrane/felt. "Single Ply Roofiing Felt consider either Sarnafil, Alkor Draka 'ALKORPLAN' or Bauder THERMOFOL"



The felt only goes up to a 20 year guarantee and the metal sheet has a 40 year guarantee if fitted by an acredited installer.



Trying to find out costs at the moment (our original pricing was against a tile roof with a much steeper pitch) and I wondered if anyone had used any of these systems and if so what the result was and could any be recommended?



TIA

I used Steadmans Meta-slate although they called it system 2000 when I bought it 5 years ago to roof my garage/workshop. It still looks good, and has been no bother.

Thanks - couple of things.

(1) I can't find anywhere stating the minimum roof slope. (2) There are bits about touching up the covering to avid corrosion - have you had to do any of that?

Cheers
