Roof Systems

Featuring the best roof systems in New Zealand

ArchiPro features the best roof systems in New Zealand with an emphasis on quality and top-of-the-line products. The term ‘roof system’ encapsulates all roofing components, including roof framing and lining, insulation, and other roofing accessories. The five conventional components of roofing systems are a covering, sheath, structure, flashing, and drainage—however, the styles these are available in are broad. Green roof systems, for example, will require different forms and functionalities than an aluminium roof system.

Types of roof systems

Aluminium roof system

Aluminium is a popular type of metal roofing. Its sustainability and flexibility make it the perfect option for a roof system.

Green roof system

An innovative twist on the traditional roof, green roof systems involve planting vegetation on a roof. These rely on robust waterproof layers.

Slate roof systems

A timeless classic across New Zealand, slate roofs are highly durable and long-lasting, and they often increase a home’s value.

Wooden roof systems

Wooden roof systems are coveted for their naturalistic appeal. They provide that rustic ‘naked’ look while still enhancing stability and structure.

The advantages of high-quality roof systems

High-quality roof systems make all the difference when it comes to the stability and style of your home. From its insulation to its accessories, every component of a roof system provides critical functions for the home, from warmth to reinforcement. The robustness of aluminium is unmatched, increasing your architectural options as the structure can support greater weight. Green roofs, on the other hand, will limit the possibility of slats or tiles but enhance the waterproofing of your home, while providing a uniquely beautiful touch.

How to choose roof systems that are right for you

The right roof system for your home will mostly depend on the climatic conditions of your region. Asphalt shingles, slates and tiles are generally acceptable for most homes and have the versatility to match any aesthetic. Aluminium roof systems are ideal for large structures that require greater weight-bearing or are exposed to potentially damaging elements. Green roofs are difficult to establish due to their intricate nature and may not be suitable for temperamental climates in New Zealand, but they are effective in reducing heat absorption.
