How Do I Know if I Have Decramastic Roofing?
It’s pretty easy to spot if you have decramastic roofing if you know what to look for. Decramastic tiles are lightweight and have a wavy, corrugated appearance, which comes from the fact they are made from thin metal and coated with a bitumen and stone chip finish intended to add texture and visual appeal. However, after decades of exposure to harsh Australian weather conditions, the stone chip deteriorates and this often results in rusting or denting.
With this in mind, the most obvious sign that you have decramastic roofing is if you notice the tiles looking worn, with visible patches where the coating has worn off.
If you’re not sure on appearance alone, another indicator is if your roof is noticeably noisy during rainstorms or windy conditions, as the thin metal and loose tiles can amplify sound.
How Does Decramastic Roof Replacement Work?
We follow a set process when installing a decramastic roof replacement to ensure everything is as stress-free as possible. Here’s how we work:
Step 1: Provide a detailed quote
As a first step, we will provide a detailed quote on the job. This will be based on roof size, new roofing materials, and a number of other considerations (e.g., roof pitch and accessibility). Before moving ahead with any work, we will ensure you have full transparency on costs & timeframes.
Step 2: Plan New Metal Roof Sheeting Installation
The next step is to plan the installation of your new metal roof. This will either be Colorbond or Zincalume, as both materials are designed to withstand Australia’s harsh climate and they offer excellent durability and energy efficiency. Each has its individual benefits, too. For example, Colorbond roofs come in a variety of colours, allowing you to match your roof with your home’s design aesthetic, while Zincalume offers a sleek, metallic finish alongside a high resistance to corrosion. We’ll discuss your preferences for these, taking budget and style considerations into account to help you choose the best option for your home.
Step 3: Replace Decramastic Tiles and Install New Roof
Once the planning is done, it’s time for the main event: replacing your decramastic tiles with new, long-lasting metal sheeting! Our team will carefully remove the old tiles, ensuring minimal disruption to your home and routine during the process, and we’ll also address any necessary repairs to the roof’s underlying structure before securely installing the new Colorbond or Zincalume sheets.
Why Replace Your Decramastic Roofing?
Decramastic tiles, while initially a cost-effective solution, have shown their limitations over time, and they are prone to rust, dents, and corrosion, especially in regions like Brisbane, where heavy rainfall and intense sun exposure are common. Also, as these tiles age, they can weaken, which often leads to leaks, drafts, and structural damage.
By replacing a decramastic roof with for a modern metal roof, you’re not only upgrading your home’s appearance but also its functionality. Metal roofing, particularly Colorbond or Zincalume, offers long-lasting protection against the elements and helps to keep your home cooler in the summer and more insulated during the colder months. Metal roofs also require far less maintenance than decramastic tiles, saving you time and money in the long run.
