7 reasons why installing a metal roof in Queensland is a no-brainer (metal vs tile roof)

Have you been debating whether you should make the switch to metal for your next roof? 

Well, you’ve come to the right place. 

Metal sheeting, cement and terracotta tiling are Australia’s most popular roofing materials – while they all come with their own advantages, this expert-written guide will show you why metal roofing has the upperhand in Queensland. 

1. Metal is more durable than tile (ideal for Queensland’s harsh weather conditions)

Queensland weather can be relentless during the wet season. That’s why a well sealed roof with the lowest possible risk of leakage is crucial. Tiled roofs are prone to leaks which are often hard to find, putting you at high risk of water damage. Metal roofs on the other hand are well sealed and are at significantly lower risk of leaking when compared to tiles. 

A metal roof in Queensland weather conditions can have a lifespan of up to 50 years with minimal maintenance, cutting out the cost and inconvenience of ongoing repairs that would occur with tiles. 

2. Metal is UV reflective (keeping your house cool all year round)

Tiled roofs work great for cooler climates because they absorb UV rays to retain heat in a home. However, in warmer climates, having a roofing material that reflects UV rays – such as metal – is ideal to keep your house cool all year round. 

This is perfect for the warmer Queensland climate, especially when you factor in what you can save on energy bills through reduced air conditioning use.

3. Metal roofs are very low maintenance

Roof maintenance is a big factor to take into consideration. Although regular maintenance is highly recommended for both metal and tiled roofs, the extent of maintenance for a tiled roof is much higher. 

Close attention must be paid to tiled roofs during and immediately after harsh weather conditions to make sure that tiles haven’t sustained any damage. If you do find storm damage, you must repair it immediately otherwise small leaks can develop and cause larger issues like internal damage to your house. 

In comparison, metal roofs need significantly less maintenance as they can survive intense weather conditions. Regular maintenance is still recommended to increase the longevity of your metal roof, however it is considerably less effort compared to tiled roofs.

4. Metal roofs are the environmentally friendly option

Homeowners are now choosing environmentally friendly and sustainable options when making changes and additions to their homes.

Did you know that Bluescope Steel uses between 40%-60% recycled metal when producing the roofing materials?

This substantially brings production costs down and reduces the impact to the environment.

5. Metal roofs look stunning!

Though tiles might be the ‘quintessential Australian look’, metal roofs actually increase the resale value of your property. Metal roofs come in a large variety of styles and colours, making it very easy to find an option that compliments your home.

6. Metal roofs are lightweight

Tiled roofs can weigh more than 10 times as much as metal roofs drastically reducing the strain on your home. Heavy tiled roofs can lead to many issues for your home down the track whereas a lightweight metal roof provides an excellent level of shelter and protection, without the extra stress. 

7. Metal roofing can reduce your insurance premiums

A commonly overlooked benefit of metal roofing is that it can reduce your insurance premiums. The durability and low maintenance nature of metal roofs, mean that insurance companies may offer you a reduction in your insurance premiums.

Make sure you speak to your insurance broker or insurance company first to see how installing a metal roof can reduce your premiums. This can mean substantial long-term savings which will help pay back the initial investment

A metal roof is an investment you won’t regret. 

When you factor in the increased durability, reduced maintenance and insurance costs, installing a metal roof is a no-brainer for Queenslanders. So get in touch with the team at A.M.J Metal Roofing today to make your new metal roof a reality.

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

Thanks for our new roof!From the moment we first contacted AMJ, and right up until the roof was completed, we knew we had made the right decision to employ their services.Nigel provided us with an extremely thorough quote and offered us some helpful advice along the way. Nigel's quote actually involved him climbing onto the roof for a detailed inspection - unlike some quotes we received from others in the industry..Dennis then took the reigns and looked after us extremely well throughout the whole asbestos removal and subsequent roof installation process, and ensured that the finished product was exactly as had been quoted and was completed to a very high standard.Shanelle at their head office was always extremely thorough when assisting us with any queries we had and was always a pleasure to speak with. We are extremely happy with our new Zincalume roof. Not only does our home look fantastic, the internal house temperature during summer was significantly reduced once the new roof and insulation had been installed.Thank you to the team at AMJ for a job well done.Matt & JasMJ Renovations

We have had a very positive experience with AMJ. From the initial consultation with their sales person (Nigel), meeting one of the directors (Alan) to explain in detail their roofing solutions, dealing with their staff (James, Craig and others) through to their helpful administration staff (Shanelle) we have had exceptional service. Their pricing was very competitive and they delivered everything they said they would, on time and kept us well informed. I highly recommend them!Dirk Witteveen - Sheldon

We had to replace our deteriorated Cement Tiled roof and AMJ won the job after researching and comparing quotes from other companies. We are thrilled with the results of our new Colourbond metal roof. Nigel quoted and answered all questions we had, Shanelle was just as helpful from the Office, Dennis and the Team were punctual, friendly, very professional and left our yard tidy. The roof was on in 2 days with zero interruption to familly life. Dennis even saved us future heartache and expense when removing the existing solar hot water tank. It was too dodgy to put back up and he co-ordinated with the Plumber for installation of a new system. I was kept up to date with photos and text messages and phone calls before, during and after the job. We rate AMJ Roofing 10 out of 10 and would highly recommend the Team to anyone requiring a roofing specialist.

Excellent from start to finish. Nigel organised the quote and was very professional and the quote was competitive. Dennis coordinated the work from delivery, managing the site and clean up. Good communication, no fuss and very responsive to questions. Very happy with our full roof replacement on a 1926 Queenslander.

Cameron was totally professional and competent. He advised us well. The speed with which the job was finished - a complete roof renewal - was just amazing. The work was done thoroughly, all rubbish was taken away speedily and the Manor red colorbond roof looks just like the advert; I stand and stare in amazement at the beauty of this new roof. I throughly recommend AMJ Metal Roofing.

Thank you so much to the AMJ Team for our new roof!It was a great experience from meeting Nigel for the quote, talking with the team in the office and having our foreman Denis overseeing the job at every stage was seemless and professional. The team went to every length to ensure we were 100% happy with the job.We would throughly recommend AMJ to anyone wanting to transform their home or business.Thanks again, Simon and Emma.
