Today the modern construction marketprovides a wide range of various materials for roofing and facade work, which differ among themselves in their cost and technical and operational characteristics. But, perhaps, the most popular materials have become metal and corrugated board, which account for almost three quarters of the roofing materials being sold. And which one is more reliable, cheaper, more aesthetic? And anyway, what is better - metal or corrugated board?
Profiled sheeting is made of galvanized sheetsbecame a method of cold rolling. To obtain good rigidity, the product is given a shaped shape (usually trapezoidal or wavy). To improve the characteristics of corrugated board can also be coated with a polymer coating and exposed to color. To find out what is better - metal or corrugated board - you should know the advantages and disadvantages of this material.

And what is the difference between metal and profiled sheeting?As well as profiled sheeting, the metal tile is a metal sheet covered with a polymer protective layer, which is produced by the cold rolling method to give a wavy form, after which she is given a transverse wave by cold stamping. As a rule, thin-gauge steel serves as a material for the production of metal. Protective coating - zinc or its mixture with other metals. To give an aesthetic appearance, the metal tile is covered with a decorative layer. Its name has received this material because in appearance it really reminds a tile, only it is much easier. It would seem that the answer to the question about what is better - metal or corrugated board, is obvious, but metal tiles also have their advantages and disadvantages.

Disadvantages:
As we see, despite some differences in theproduction technologies, both materials, by and large, differ slightly from each other, except for the field of application. If metal roofing is used only as a roofing material, the field of application of corrugated board is much wider - in addition to covering the roofs, it is used for facing buildings and erecting various barriers. Another property that distinguish between metal and profiled sheeting is the price, which, by the way, is slightly different. For example, a polyester covered square meter of metal tiles with a thickness of 0.5 millimeters is about 250 rubles. And a square meter of corrugated board of the same thickness will cost 210-215 rubles.
Definitely to say that it is better - metalor profiled sheeting for roofing works, is quite difficult. Metal tile, of course, looks more attractive, but the use of corrugated board is cheaper not only because of the price of the material itself, but also the lower cost of components (drainage, skates, cornices, etc.). Therefore, everything depends on personal preferences and financial possibilities.
