FAQs
Why should I choose metal panels for roofing and siding in Mascotâs climate?
Metal panels are ideal for Mascotâs mix of hot summers, coastal humidity and occasional storms. High-grade steel or aluminium panels are corrosion-resistant, reflect up to 70% of solar radiation to lower cooling costs, and withstand wind gusts well above the 150 km/h marks sometimes recorded around Sydney Airport. Unlike tile or fibro, metal panels will not crack, warp or attract mould, giving you a service life of 40â60 years with minimal maintenance.
Will a metal roof or wall system make my home or building noisier during rain?
Not when installed correctly. We fit a continuous anti-condensation blanket or rigid insulation board beneath the panels and use high-rib profiles that create an airgap. Together with secure fasteners and sealed laps, this assembly dampens sound so interior noise is comparable to â and often quieter than â concrete or terracotta tiles. For critical applications such as recording studios, additional acoustic batts can be added to achieve RW ratings above 50.
How does the cost of metal panels compare to other materials over their lifetime?
Up-front, Colorbond or Zincalume roofing in Mascot typically costs 5â15 % more than concrete tiles and about the same as high-end asphalt shingles. However, the panels last two to three times longer, rarely need repairs, and cut energy bills by up to 25 % thanks to solar reflectance. When you factor in repainting, replacement and energy savings, a metal system is usually the lowest 30-year cost option. In commercial cladding, lightweight steel panels can reduce structural steel requirements, lowering total build costs.
Are your metal panels compliant with Australian Standards and bushfire regulations?
Yes. All roofing and siding panels we supply are manufactured in Australia, certified to AS 1397 and AS/NZS 2728 for base-metal and paint quality, and tested to AS 4040 for wind and water resistance. For bushfire-prone suburbs surrounding Mascot, we offer Colorbond Steel in the âUltraâ or âMetallicâ range that meets BAL-29 and BAL-40 flame-resistance requirements. We also provide proprietary ember-proof venting and flashings to help achieve full AS 3959 compliance.
What design options are available for metal roofs and façades?
You can choose from more than 20 Colorbond designer colours, including the new Matt series for a softer, on-trend finish. Profiles range from classic corrugated Custom Orb to contemporary standing-seam, Snaplock, Interlock and wide-tray cladding that delivers 45 mm deep shadow lines. Panels can be oriented vertically, horizontally or diagonally and combined with perforated screens for sun-shading. We can custom fold flashings, box gutters and fascia to maintain a seamless look.
How long does installation take and what warranties do you provide?
Most residential re-roofs in Mascot take 2â4 days, while new-build roofs or commercial façades are scheduled in line with other tradesâroughly 100â150 m² can be installed per day. Our team handles council notifications, safety scaffolding and site cleanup. Manufacturer warranties cover paint integrity for up to 25 years and corrosion for up to 36 years in non-marine zones (or 15 years within 200 m of the coast). We add a 10-year workmanship guarantee, giving you comprehensive, transferable protection.
