PROSEAM ENERGI-ROOF
AN ATTRACTIVE OPTION TO BOTH ARCHITECTS AND HOUSEBUILDERS
In many sectors of business and industry, technology is moving at
incredible speed. We now have paperless offices and do business
remotely by text, scan and email.
So why do we still have men on building sites laying bricks and clay
tiles just as they were 50 years ago?
Is it a case that old habits die hard? Do houseowners literally
prefer to invest in ‘bricks and mortar’? Or are there simply no
alternatives to the traditional ways we roof and clad our homes?
The recent growth in modular build and the use of SIPS panels in
certain sectors of housebuilding seems to have encouraged the
use of other less traditional roofing and cladding materials, as we
look to build more quickly and efficiently.
Metal roof panels have been around for years and any walk in the
country is likely to feature corrugated tin sheets on farm sheds.
Corrugated sheets have largely been replaced by the more
efficient trapezoidal or ‘box’ profile sheeting and these can be
used to good effect on new build or refurbishment projects.
