The manufacturers of corrugated metal sheet roofing have rectified the flaws associated with this roofing material such as rust and corrosion, which were the main reasons for the drop in its demand. Now, the modern versions of corrugated metal roofing sheets are not only made resistant to rust and other natural elements, but are also in sync with the latest trends. These features have helped a lot in its revival as residential roofing material.

- The most popular feature of this roofing material is its durability. These roofing sheets can easily last for about 20 to 50 years.
- Corrugated metal roofing sheets are treated and coated with chemicals to prevent the growth of algae and mildew. They are also resistant to rot, rust and insects.
- Other beneficial feature include its non-combustible nature. These sheets have a Class A fire rating, which is the highest rating as far as fire-resistance is concerned.
- They are also lightweight, which facilitates easy installation and reduces the load on the roof structure.
Disadvantages of Corrugated Sheet Metal Roofing
- One of the common problems of corrugated metal sheet roofing is that it is prone to denting. It can be caused by any heavy object which falls on the roofing. Even hailstorms can lead to dents in your metal sheet roofing.
- Another drawback is the high cost of installation, but this is usually offset by the very less maintenance or repair work required by this type of roofing.
- Most people also complain about the noise created by rain falling on these metal sheets. This, however, can be reduced by using any insulation beneath the sheet at the time of installation.
- Corrugated sheet metal roofing, though long lasting, may scratch, chip, peel or fade with time.
