Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between cladding and roofing?
Cladding and roofing are both essential components of a building’s exterior, but they serve different purposes and are installed in different areas. Roofing refers to the materials used to cover the top of a structure, providing protection from weather, insulation, and structural support. Cladding, on the other hand, is applied to the external walls and serves as a protective skin that enhances insulation, weather resistance, and appearance.
protectingWhile roofing protects from direct overhead exposure like rain, hail, and sunlight, cladding protects walls from wind, water ingress, and temperature fluctuations. Both systems can use similar materials—such as Colorbond steel, aluminium, or composite panels—but they are engineered and installed differently based on their function.
What materials are commonly used for metal cladding and roofing?
Metal cladding and roofing systems use a variety of materials, each with specific benefits. The most common include:
Colorbond® Steel – A pre-painted steel product designed for Australian conditions. It’s highly durable, corrosion-resistant, and available in a wide range of colours.
Zincalume® Steel – A mix of zinc, aluminium, and silicon offering excellent corrosion resistance.
Aluminium – Lightweight and naturally corrosion-resistant, ideal for coastal and industrial environments.
Copper and Zinc – More premium options with a long lifespan and a distinctive patina that develops over time.
Each material is chosen based on environmental exposure, aesthetic preferences, and building performance requirements.
Is metal cladding and roofing energy-efficient?
Yes, modern metal cladding and roofing systems are highly energy-efficient, especially when paired with the right insulation and ventilation strategies. Many metal products are designed with thermal performance coatings that reflect solar radiation, reducing heat absorption during hot weather. This can help keep a building cooler, lowering air conditioning costs and improving comfort.
Some systems also include insulated panels or allow for the easy integration of sarking or insulation batts, which improve thermal regulation. Additionally, metal surfaces are often 100% recyclable and considered a sustainable choice for long-term building performance.
