Residential or commercial, a garage is a safe space to store vehicles of all varieties. From cars to motorbikes, tractors to trucks, a garage needs to be the best place to protect important items from harsh weather conditions.
The perfect garage begins with the right roof. The incorrect roofing solution will cause low temperatures, poor ventilation and water ingress. If the existing garage roofing material is causing terrible leaks, condensation or more, it might be time for a replacement. To counter all issues, your best choice may be galvanized roofing sheets. Let’s discuss how.
Choosing Garage Roofing
GC sheets are popular as garage roofing due to their ability to tolerate harsh weather conditions. Their affordability is also a key factor during selection. They are corrosion-resistant and are coated with zinc or plastic to create an aesthetic finish.
Another key advantage of metal roofing is that they aren’t susceptible or affected by termites or other insects and algae. If taken care of properly, an average galvanized roofing sheet can last more than 30 years. Here are some other advantages:
- 1. Low maintenance
- 2. Resistant to weathering and corrosion due to galvanised coating
- 3. Easy to install
- 4. Customisable according to customer requirements
Corrugated Sheets—Yes or No?
While it’s not essential, corrugated roofing sheets have a wide range of advantages as a garage roof. The corrugated shape increases the durability and strength of the roof without adding any extra weight. The rippled form results in a wider surface area that expands the capacity to withstand bends that falling objects can cause and offers more protection from adverse weather conditions such as storms.
Additionally, GC sheets for your garage roof are the best option for areas that have a lot of rainfall. Owing to the wavy design, rainwater is forced inside the valleys of the corrugation. If the roof panels are installed at a minimum angle of 10 degrees, rainwater can evenly and easily run off into the guttering or to the ground. Rainwater is also prone to collection on flat sheets compared to corrugated sheets, which increases the weight applied to the surface of the roof and leads to collapse.
GC sheets also offer a modern and stylish appearance for your garage while being low-maintenance and practical at the same time.
Galvanized roofing sheets are ideal for your garage due to their exceptional durability, longevity, strength and weather resistance. It’s easy to install and lightweight, immune to cracking, breaking or insect infestations. They are lightweight and the corrugated shape prevents waterlogging.
