It also makes handling the roofing sheets on site much easier. As it doesn’t weigh much itself, it adds significantly low overall weight to the complete structure.
- Aluminium roofing sheets has high strength- Aluminium has the highest strength to weight ratio compared to most other metals. This property makes them the material of choice to build aeroplanes. This unique characteristic that aluminium possesses makes it extremely strong and when combined with its lightweight property, it becomes one of the most suitable materials for roofing.
- Easily installable- As aluminium sheets are lightweight, they are much easier to handle and do not require too much effort or manpower for installation on-site and can be done quickly. This helps you save labour costs, time and ultimately money.

This makes aluminium one of the most environment-friendly materials to work with.
- Aluminium sheets are safe –Aluminium is non-flammable so it does not catch fire easily. Also due to its high strength, it does not suffer dents very easily and can withstand falling objects to a certain level. This makes aluminium sheet safe against fires and makes them effective against rain, snow or hail storms.
