If you are looking for a durable, cost-effective, and environmentally friendly roofing material for your home or business in Canterbury, you should consider pre-coated long run steel.

This is a type of metal roofing that is made from long sheets of steel that are custom cut to the length required and fitted to your roof. Unlike other types of metal roofing, or most other roofing materials for that matter, long run steel does not have any seams or joints, apart from the vertical laps, making it more resistant to leaks, corrosion, and weather damage.

Long run steel that has a pre-coated baked on paint finish has a number of advantages over other roofing materials, including:

• Longevity: Long run steel can last for 50 years or more with proper maintenance and care. It can withstand harsh weather conditions, such as strong winds, heavy rain, hail and snow. It is also fire-resistant and does not support the growth of moss, mould or algae.
• Durability: Incredibly durable, it not only meets the requirements of the New Zealand Building Code but is a proven and dependable roofing material during earthquakes and other environmental extremes.
• Cost-effectiveness: Long run steel is relatively affordable compared to other roofing materials, such as tiles, shingles or slate. It also has low installation and maintenance costs, as it does not require painting, sealing or repairing. It can also help you save on energy bills, as it reflects heat and keeps your home or business cooler in summer and warmer in winter.
• Environmental friendliness: Long run steel is made from recycled steel and can be recycled again at the end of its life cycle. It also reduces the amount of waste and landfill space, as it does not need to be replaced as often as other roofing materials. It also minimises the environmental impact of your home or business, as it reduces the carbon footprint and greenhouse gas emissions.

Long run steel is a good roofing material for New Zealand because it offers durability, cost-effectiveness and environmental friendliness. It’s a smart choice for anyone who wants to protect their home or business from the elements and enjoy a long-lasting and attractive roof.
