Suntuf vs. Sunlite Twinwall Polycarbonate Roofing: Which One Should You Choose?
Are you tossing up new roofing plans for your pergola, patio or carport? When it comes to polycarbonate roofing, popular choices are Suntuf and Sunlite
If you’ve ever considered installing a metal roof or building a shed, you’ve probably been directed toward several different websites, pamphlets, and publications about Corrugated roofing and its benefits. It’s understandable, given the long and successful history of Corrugated Roofing iron has had as both a roof and wall cladding material.
But did you know you had another option that provides a little more flexibility when compared to Corrugated roofing?
It’s called Trimdeck or 5-Rib Roofing.
Like Corrugated Roofing iron, Trimdeck roof sheets are roll formed out of .42BMT thickness metal sheeting as standard but are also available in a thicker .48BMT.
The profile of a Trimdeck roof sheet is almost double the height of a Corrugated roof sheet which allows Trimdeck roofing sheets to be installed on lower-pitched roof lines. Trimdeck roof sheets can be installed on roof pitches as low as 2 degrees, ideally suited to Carports or Garage roof spaces.
The Trimdeck profile is a square fluted design, offering a more contemporary appearance than the classic Corrugated “S-Rib” design. However, the benefits of Trimdeck aren’t just limited to its look. Beyond just its style, there are a few more reasons why an increasing number of people are now using Trimdeck.
Like Corrugated sheets, Trimdeck can be cut to length according to your requirements and is available in ZINCALUME® and the entire COLORBOND® colour range. Selling at the same retail price as Corrugatedroof sheets, Trimdeck is suitable for walls, sheds, garages, carports, awnings, verandas, kit homes, and commercial buildings.
Trimdeck is worth considering for your next project, especially if your roofline is almost flat!
