Is your sunroom more like a sauna than a sanctuary?
That sweltering heat likely stems from your polycarbonate roof. While polycarbonate offers some benefits, it often falls short in temperature control. If you're dreaming of a cooler, more comfortable space for your Northern Beaches sunroom (or similar) area, consider upgrading to a classic and durable corrugated metal roof.
The Cloud9 Roofing team recently replaced a polycarbonate sunroom roof in the Northern Beaches suburb of Elanora Heights, installing a corrugated metal roof that completely transformed this living space.
Why Choose Corrugated Metal for Your Sunroom?
Corrugated metal roofing has become increasingly popular for sunrooms due to its impressive advantages:
Sun Protection: Unlike polycarbonate, metal reflects sunlight effectively, reducing heat buildup and keeping your sunroom cooler in the summer. The Australian sun is intense, so having a corrugated metal roof is beneficial for significant energy savings on air conditioning.
Durability and Longevity: Corrugated metal is incredibly resistant to the elements. It can withstand harsh coastal weather, including heavy rain, salt spray and strong winds, lasting for decades with minimal maintenance. Highly resistant to corrosion from salt, it can withstand high winds without being lifted or damaged. Its design also allows for efficient water runoff, preventing pooling and leaks.
Cost-Effectiveness: While the initial investment might be slightly higher than some alternatives, the long lifespan and low maintenance requirements of corrugated metal make it a cost-effective choice in the long run. It is resistant to rot, pests, and fire, reducing the need for frequent repairs or replacements.
Aesthetic Appeal: Corrugated metal offers a classic, timeless look that complements various architectural styles. From classic beach houses to modern homes, it offers a clean, timeless look that blends well with the coastal landscape. It adds a touch of rustic charm and can significantly enhance the appearance of your sunroom.
Noise Reduction: Modern corrugated roofing systems can be designed to minimise noise from rain and hail, creating a more peaceful environment.
Going greener with Corrugated metal roofs
Corrugated metal roofing also offers a more environmentally friendly solution:
Recyclable Material: Corrugated metal is often made from recycled materials and is itself fully recyclable at the end of its lifespan, making it an environmentally friendly choice.
Energy Efficiency: As mentioned earlier, the reflective properties of metal roofing can help reduce energy consumption for cooling, contributing to a more sustainable lifestyle.
