Types of zinc roofing

Natural zinc roofing

If you prefer the natural look of zinc roofing in a grey and shiny form, choose natural zinc roofing. This style of roofing will develop a patina over time.

Pre-patinated zinc roofing

Patina develops over years, so if you’re already looking for that signature green colour, choose pre-patinated zinc roofing.

Pre-pigmented zinc roofing

Pre-pigmented zinc roofing are roofs that already contain a pigment layer, including warm red and rust.

The advantages of high-quality zinc roofing

With any type of roofing, quality is important. Zinc roofing is more likely to last longer and be resistant to corrosion and rust. However, this is only guaranteed if you choose high quality zinc as a base material. High quality zinc roofs are also more likely to come with additional benefits, including being moisture resistant. Zinc is known for its striking dark grey colour, and in higher quality zinc roofs, the pigments will be brighter and more even. Zinc roofs also need to be properly installed with the highest quality materials to prevent future corrosion or moisture trapped in the roof.

How to choose zinc roofing that is right for you

Choosing the right roof is a personal choice in New Zealand, dependent on your home, preferences, and requirements. Whether you decide to buy zinc roofing for your garden shed or for the whole house, you’ll find that it can adapt to your needs. They are extremely low maintenance and non-temperamental, making it a perfect choice for someone who won’t be attending to the upkeep of their roof often. Zinc roofing is also highly malleable, and can be shaped to fit the curves and grooves of a unique roofline while remaining durable. If your home is architecturally complex or contemporary in design, zinc roofing may be complementary to an existing building style. Because it is such a practical choice, the decision to go with it often comes down to its aesthetic and whether that suits the look you want to achieve.
