Steeline SPONSOR PROFILE Raise the Roof An insider’s guide to planning and installing the right roofing for your next project. Everyone needs a roof over their head. In fact, a roof is one of the most important parts of every abode. So when you’re building or renovating, it’s important to find the best roofing for your needs that’s both durable and attractive. Back in the day, people used anything at their disposal to construct their roof – from stones and trees, to animal skins and even snow. Thankfully today we have a lot more options, most of which have arisen from years of experimentation and development. But with more choice comes more consideration, and if you’re starting from scratch, it can be overwhelming trying to find the best solution for your needs. Here are a few tips to help get you started. KNOW YOUR PLACE Before you do anything, it’s important to know the ins and outs of your property and its surroundings. Make a survey, consider how much rain or sun your roof might be exposed to, and think about the building’s design and how this could affect the roofing. If you’re not quite sure where to start, it’s best to call upon the experts. We find the guys at Steeline Roofing Hobart to be really helpful. They can work with you from the get-go to assess the site and determine which materials would best suit your requirements. Plus, they’re always happy to answer any questions, no matter how silly you might think they are! CHOOSE YOUR MATERIALS WISELY One of the most important decisions when constructing your roof is which material to use. There are heaps to choose from, but one material that never fails us is steel. Not only will a steel roof last in the harsh Australian climate, but it’s one of the most durable roofing materials around that can withstand corrosion and even protect your building against termites. The team at Steeline specialise in steel roofing and cladding products, all of which are made here in 42 Australia from the highest quality materials. They also offer Colorbond® steel, one of the toughest, most advanced building materials in the world. The best part is it’s available in a wide range of colours, so your roof will not only look beautiful, but will last beautifully too. DON’T GO IT ALONE Installing a roof is a big task, and it’s something you want to get right the first time. Even Bec and George had to ask the experts for a hand with theirs. We love that Steeline can take care of everything. From putting a slab down and organising the council paperwork, to supplying materials and installing the roof, they tick all the boxes. Their service is impeccable too, which makes the entire process a breeze! And it’s not just roofing they’re good at – they can also do sheds, garages, carports, pergolas and fencing.
