Metal Roofing: The More Eco-Friendly Choice

There are so many benefits to installing metal roofing in your home – it’s no surprise that it’s constantly rated within the top 3 roofing materials in Australia.

Did you know that it’s also an eco friendly option for your roof?

It sounds too good to be true but it’s not – getting to give your roof a makeover and enjoy the benefits of metal roofing, whilst helping to do your bit for the planet.

Here are six reasons why metal roofing is an eco friendly choice:

1. Durability

The durable nature of metal roofs means that you don’t need to replace them anywhere near as often as other types of roofs.

This helps to save on producing new materials and using up energy – as well as saving you money.

Depending on the type of metal roofing you use and the manufacturer you choose, you may enjoy a metal roof that doesn’t need replacing at all.

With good maintenance and installation, they are able to stand up to extreme weather such as high winds.

2. Recyclable

There are so many roofing materials which end up in landfill sites across Australia and take decades to break down – harming the environment as they do so.

With metal roofing, you can choose to use recycled materials which also helps avoid extra mining for metals. If you decide to change your metal roof, you can offer your old one for recycling and carry it forward.

3. Reflexibility

This is something that is really important with Australia’s hot climate.

If a roof does not reflect the suns rays, it will absorb heat meaning that the property heats up and you will use energy through air conditioning to cool it down.

Metal roofing is solar reflexive and resistant to heat gain – even more so if you choose a lighter colour.

In winter, you can simply add insulation to keep your house a comfortable temperature.

4. Light Weight

Heavier roofing materials such as tiling or concrete can be harmful to the environment when transported due to the higher fuel consumptions required.

Metal roofing is much lighter which helps to save fuel.

The light weight nature of metal roofing is also useful when it comes to installation and sometimes you can install it on top of your existing roof – lowering the amount of materials that are disused.

5. Compatible with Skylights

Skylights can have eco friendly benefits – such as helping to reduce energy costs in your home and maximising solar energy.

Metal roofing works brilliantly with skylights meaning that you can keep energy costs low and enjoy the health benefits of natural light.

6. Water Run Off

You may not have thought before about water landing on roofs and mixing with chemicals or additives within the materials that the roofs are made from.

Luckily, metal roofing doesn’t generally have additives or chemicals so your water run off will be clean and less likely to contaminate water supplies.

In fact, why not collect it to water your garden for maximum environmentally friendly status?

AMJ completed a roof replacement at our home. This involved removal of our old asbestos roof and replacing with a new colorbond roof, guttering and insulation. They also installed a new roof over our deck using insulated paneling.We were really happy with the end product and the care the AMJ team took in all their work. The team at AMJ kept us informed throughout the planning, the job was completed really quickly and I would recommend them to anyone.

I was getting a Building and Pest inspection done on a house in Annerley I was looking at buying. Because of that storm cell that hit Annerley in 2014 I also had Dennis at A.M.J come out for a second opinion on the "tin" roof. The Building and Pest guys gave the roof the all clear, "No damage, the roof is good". Dennis actually got out the ladder, climbed up the side of the high-set Queenslander and properly inspected the roof. Two minutes, and a half dozen photo's later, he climb's back down to tell me the roof has been severely damaged by hail, and will have to be replaced. Without a proper quote, anywhere up to $30 000. Well, thank you Dennis! That would have been a very expensive mistake you helped me avoid if I had just taken the word of a very reputable, local Building and Pest company. I have contacted that company asking for a full refund! Again, thank you Dennis and A.M.J, very happy to recommend anyone to your company!! Cheers Mark @ Annerley

AMJ Metal Roofing replaced our terracotta tile roof with a new colorbond roof. Their detailed quote gave peace of mind during the entire process. AMJ covered every detail involved in carrying out this project. 5 star service throughout the entire AMJ team. We love our new roof, thank you!

These guys were very efficient with your paperwork & contract...great to deal with! We had had a number of people look at our (quite flat) roof over the years and your guys spent quite a while on the roof & said they knew what the problem was... The roof got tested with two big downpours - staff ready with buckets & sqeegees - we had no further leaks.3 works to describe AMJ? Efficient, competent, organized.You guys really know what youre doing...very well done!

AMJ was a great company to deal with. In 2011 I had the roof and guttering of my Sunnybank Hills property replaced by AMJ Metal Roofing. The new colour bond roof looked great and the job was completed with no disruption to our family and no rubbish left on site. The cost was very competitive. The roof withstood two severe hailstorms during the subsequent years with no damage or leaks.In 2017 I listed this property for sale and was required to supply a detailed independent building report which included an internal inspection of the roof. It was noted during this inspection that a small number of screws were not fixed properly into one of the batons. I rang AMJ Roofing and within 48 hours a company representative had come to the property, replaced the screws and provided certification for the work. I was very pleased with the service 6 years after the original job.

Could not recommend AMJ Metal roofing more. Their company and staff were amazing to deal with. From the first initial contact to get a quote through to the completion of the roof has been so easy. From Jenna in the office who was easy to get in contact with and replied to emails and call very fast to Nigel who quoted, Matt who checked on the work process and all the tradies just made the entire process of replacing our old roof with a new metal roof so easy. We couldn't be happier with the work that was done. All the tradies were wonderful and polite, they would let us know what was happening each day with the work and the time frame was great from start to finish the work took 4 days.I would recommend AMJ Metal roofing to everyone who needs a new roof or just maintenance. Very, very happy
