Choosing the Best Roofing Sheet for Your Nigerian Home or Business

Choosing the Best Roofing Sheet for Your Nigerian Home or Business

Posted on January 14, 2023March 10, 2023 By AdHang

When it comes to building a home or business in Nigeria, the material you choose for your roof is an important decision. Different materials have different advantages and disadvantages, and understanding these will help you make the best choice for your project. In this blog post, we’ll be discussing the different types of roofing sheets available in Nigeria and which ones are best suited for various projects.

Types of Roofing Sheets Available in Nigeria

The most popular type of roofing sheet used in Nigeria is Aluminium-Zinc (or AZ) sheets. These sheets provide excellent heat insulation and are very strong and durable, making them ideal for residential homes as well as commercial buildings. Other types of roofing sheets include steel sheets, stone-coated steel (or STEELogic) sheets, PVC (or plastic) sheets, fibreglass sheets, bitumen-based shingles, and clay tiles. Each type has its own unique advantages and disadvantages.

Aluminium-Zinc Sheets

Aluminium-Zinc (AZ) sheets are one of the most popular types of roofing sheet used in Nigeria due to their low cost, light weight, durability, strength, and corrosion resistance. They are made from a combination of aluminium and zinc alloys that give them their superior properties. The AZ coating also provides added protection against UV rays from the sun which can cause fading over time when exposed to direct sunlight. Additionally, AZ sheet roofs require little maintenance apart from occasional cleaning with detergent water to remove dust and other debris that may accumulate over time.

Any Purlin built of steel or wood can have aluminium roofs installed on it according to specifications. The three types of aluminium roofing sheets currently available on the market are listed below, and they are Long span aluminium, Step tile aluminium, Metcoppo aluminium.

Long Span₦2,800₦3,300
Step Tile₦3,000₦3,500
Metcoppo₦3,200₦3,650

Steel Sheets

Steel is another popular option for roofing projects in Nigeria due to its strength and durability. Steel roofs are also fireproof which makes them ideal for residential homes where there is a risk of fire due to cooking accidents or other causes. Steel roofs also require little maintenance apart from occasional painting or rust removal if necessary. However, they may be more expensive than other types of roofing materials due to their heavy weight which can increase labour costs associated with installation significantly.

 Stone Coated Steel (STEELogic) Sheets   

Stone coated steel (or STEELogic) sheets are becoming increasingly popular in Nigeria due to their attractive appearance and long life span compared to other traditional roofing materials such as asphalt shingle roofs or clay tiles. STEELlogic roofs also come with a transferable 40 year warranty that ensures quality assurance throughout the lifespan of your new rooftop system! They are lightweight yet very strong which makes them ideal for both residential homes as well as commercial buildings that need durable yet aesthetically pleasing roofs that can withstand harsh weather conditions such as high winds or intense rainstorms without any damage or deformation over time like some other traditional materials may experience after prolonged exposure to these elements.

Choosing a type of roofing sheet is an important decision when constructing a home or business in Nigeria — each type has its own unique advantages and disadvantages that should be carefully considered before making a purchase decision. Aluminium-zinc (AZ) sheets are often considered the best option due to their low cost, light weight, durability, strength, corrosion resistance, UV ray protection layer on top of it all! Additionally; steel sheets offer excellent fireproof protection while stone coated steel (STEELogic) offers both aesthetic appeal along with guaranteed long life spans thanks to their transferable 40 year warranty! Ultimately it’s up to you – weigh out all the factors before deciding what’s right for your project! Good luck!
