GC roofing sheets have been around for decades and throughout their existence, they have undergone several advancements. These changes have made galvanized roofing sheets subject to misconceptions and myths. Today, too many contrasting facts are floating around. Distinguish fact from fiction with us.
Myth #1: GC sheet roofs are unattractive
With modern techniques, GC roofing sheets are now designed to make them more aesthetically pleasing. The roofs can come in a variety of corrugated patterns. Tata Shaktee GC Sheet has an attractive design that maintains its look after years of use. GC roofing sheets can make your home look wonderful for generations to come!
Myth #2: GC sheet roofs are noisy
GC sheets are very quiet when they are installed correctly—in fact, they can be as silent as asphalt roofs! Generally, when metal roofs are noisy, it could be due to the roof decking used during the construction. A poor-quality roofing deck, underlayment and solid sheathing can lead to a lot of noise. Therefore, to ensure a silent galvanized roofing sheet, invest in high-quality accessories. It will effectively reduce noise transmission.
Myth #3: GC sheet roofs rust easily
Metal roofs do not rust as long as they are galvanized. The thin layer of zinc on carbon steel sheets isn’t there just for aesthetic purposes. The zinc acts as a barrier preventing water and oxygen from reaching the steel.
Tata Shaktee GC sheets are specially treated to resist rust. We use superior X-ray and cleaning technology to ensure an even zinc coating on each GC sheet. Additionally, the bond between the zinc and steel is self-healing. The zinc coating sacrifices itself slowly by galvanic action to protect the base steel. This sacrificial action continues as long as any zinc remains on the surface.
Myth #4: GC sheet roofs aren’t weather-resistant
As mentioned, the bond between the zinc and steel is self-healing. Thus, the zinc coating increases the sheet’s corrosion and rust resistance and makes it resistant to heavy rains.
GC sheets are, therefore, highly resistant to extreme winds, hail and even heavy snow. During extreme heat, the roof reflects the sun’s rays, which in turn keeps the structure cool. GC sheets are a great weather-resistant material.
Myth #5: GC sheets aren’t cost-effective
Over the years, the cost of manufacturing has reduced. This has made them more affordable. GC roofing sheets from Tata Shaktee last you a long time and resists rust, which makes investing in them a smart choice.
Galvanized roofing sheets are a good choice for your home or shop. Differentiating between facts and myths will help you make a better decision!
