A solid roof performs many functions: it protects the building from the wind and weather, and gives the inhabitants a feeling of security while characterizing the general appearance of the building. Ideally, the building and the roof form one single entity which either blends beautifully into the surrounding neighbourhood or represents a focal point for your village. The right material, colour, shape and surface structure play an important role here. It could be that the choice of material is already restricted by the shape and incline of your roof along with any regional building regulations (e.g. development plans, local authority regulations). Also, in contemporary architecture, traditional roof coverings such as roof tiles, concrete blocks, plain tiles, wood shingles or slates are regularly replaced by more flexible, modern and more durable materials. These can also be colour-coordinated with the environment and other elements such as gutters, fences, shutters, shades, blinds, windows and much more. That’s why, these days, many customers opt for a metal sheet roof. If you do choose a metal sheet roof, it is advisable to go for stainless shingles so that you can still enjoy them in many years’ time.
