The popularity of metal tiles as a roofing material can be explained by the fact that it combines reliability, ease of installation and a fairly affordable cost. But since there are a lot of manufacturers of these products, you should find out before buying what to pay attention to when choosing.
It should be borne in mind that the cost of metal tiles will be determined primarily by its characteristics. This does not mean that with a decrease in the price will necessarily decrease and quality of products. This is completely optional, as practice shows. Metal tile can cost cheaply for many reasons.
For example, the thickness of the sheets of metal tiles can reach 0.75 mm. But the fact is that it makes no sense to use just such products when covering the roof of ordinary dwellings. It is expensive, but it will not bring additional benefits. It is enough to purchase less thick and, accordingly, not such expensive sheets (about 0.5 mm).
Also, the cost will be determined by which layer of zinc has the material. The life of the tiles depends on it, but here there are also reasonable limits. The best option in this case is to buy roofing material in which 1 m2 of the tile sheet accounts for 240 g of zinc or slightly larger.
