To replace natural tiles, a metal counterpart was invented in Finland in the last century. It was distinguished by its low cost.
Despite the fact that abroad, and in our country, housing is built mainly from traditional materials, metal tiles in the niche of mid-price and budget housing are in the leading positions. Metal roofing is mainly used by small commercial buildings..
The key to the popularity of metal tiles is their low cost, as well as ease of installation, visual appeal and durability..
Moreover, most of the buildings nowadays are built using sandwich panels and fenced with profiled sheets. If you correctly choose the color scheme that will fit the building into the environment, which includes the industrial and natural landscape, then the new building will acquire attractive features..
The wall of the building is not visible behind the fence, and the roof immediately catches your eye. Therefore, its appearance plays an important role. Metal tiles are made of painted galvanized steel. The customer himself can choose the color from the catalog. Thus, everyone can choose a roof according to their color preferences..
For the correct choice of colors, it is best to turn to an experienced designer. You have to spend some amount of money, but it’s worth it. After you have chosen the color of the metal tile, you should think about installing it.
Installation of metal roofing can be done by contacting the construction team for help, and you can also carry out the installation yourself. The first option, of course, implies cash costs. If you decide to do the installation yourself, then no additional costs will be required from you..
Installation of metal tiles is not a complicated procedure, and therefore often does without the involvement of highly qualified craftsmen..

1. Calculate the amount of material
