What is Aluminium Roof Tile?

Aluminium roof tile refers to roofing materials that are made primarily from aluminum, a lightweight and corrosion-resistant metal. Aluminium roof tile is known for its durability, low maintenance requirements, and suitability for various types of buildings and environments. Due to its lightweight nature, aluminium roof tile is often chosen for structures where weight is a concern or where the existing structure may not support heavier roofing materials.

Application of Aluminium Roof Tile

Commercial Buildings
One of the biggest reasons aluminium roof tile is commonly chosen in commercial applications is due to its superior weather resistance to wind and water, especially in areas where hurricanes or other tropical weather is a concern. Even when the structure isn’t in a tropical location, Aluminium roof tile gives business and building owners the peace of mind that their roof is destined to last and not need constant upkeep.

Residential Projects
The residential market is booming as homeowners begin to realize that aluminium roof tile will actually save them money in the long run. A lot of homeowners don’t think their roof is big enough to warrant a metal roof, but we are here to tell you that the size of your roof doesn’t matter. Aluminium roof tile systems can be used on something as small as a shed or mailbox. There has also been an increase in metal being used as an accent, awning, or as a portion of the roof. Be sure to consult with the manufacturer before a contractor installs two different roofing materials together, as they could potentially react with one another.

Architectural Projects
Since aluminium roof tile begins as a metal coil or sheet, it has the ability to be formed and cut into many different shapes, sizes, and lengths. This variety — along with the durability, variety of colors, and eco-friendly qualities — provides architects will many benefits to using metal to create aesthetically pleasing structures.

Structural Uses
Have you ever been inside a warehouse, factory, or other industrial building where you look up and see the roof from the inside? This is a good example of structural aluminium roof tile, which is when metal panels are installed over open framing or on structures that span long lengths and are attached directly to the frame or purlins (additional support beams added to the roof frame).

Agricultural Buildings
Like structural applications, barns and other agricultural buildings are common uses for aluminium roof tile. Agricultural structures traditionally use an exposed fastener or lap seam profile, which is when the ends of the panels overlap each other and have sealant or exposed fasteners holding the two panels together.

How Much Does Aluminium Roof Tile Cost?

Aluminium roof tile costs run from $7 to $17 per square foot on average, which includes the cost of materials, labor, and installation. You can get Aluminium roof tile in the form of tiles, shingles, or metal panels. Aluminum shingles are typically more affordable than Aluminium roof tile panels. Aluminum shingles typically cost $7 to $9 per square foot, or $21,000 to $27,000 to install on a standard 3,000-square-foot roof. For aluminum roof panels, the cost is typically higher at $7 to $17 per square foot on average, or $21,000 to $51,000 for a 3,000 square foot roof. Labor typically accounts for 30% to 40% of the total project cost for an aluminum roof installation. For example, for a standard-sized roof of about 2,000 square feet, labor could range from about $4,200 to $13,600 for a typical project.

Aluminium Roof Tiles vs. Other Metal Roofs

1. Aluminum vs. Steel Roofing

● Cost. Steel roofing costs run from $6 to $12 per square foot on average, or up to 3 times the cost of an aluminum roof. Steel shingle roofing on a standard-size home would cost around $18,000 to $36,000 to install.
● Durability. Steel is stronger than aluminum and is more fire-resistant without the need for additional layers. Aluminum does not have a Class-A fire rating, but can achieve it with the proper underlayment and sheathing (which will cost extra). On the other hand, steel is susceptible to salt damage over time when installed in coastal areas, while Aluminum is extremely resistant to salt damage and corrosion.
● Lifespan. Aluminum has an average of 40 years or more, while steel has a longer average lifespan of 40 to 70 years with proper maintenance and care.

2. Aluminum vs. Copper Roofing

● Cost. Copper roofs cost between $13.54 to $24.69 per square foot on average. For a standard 3,000-square-foot roof, you can expect to pay between $40,608 and $74,064. Generally speaking, a copper roof will cost at least 3 times more than an aluminum roof.
● Durability. Copper roofs are incredibly strong, lightweight, and highly resistant to fire, hail, and mildew. However, they tend to expand and contract frequently during weather changes. When this happens, the fasteners can become loose and require repair. Thanks to its natural patina (oxidation) process, copper roofing is naturally protected against rust and corrosion. Note: Your contractor can add a clear, polyurethane coat or a clear lacquer to preserve the natural new shine of your copper roof.
● Lifespan. Aluminum roofing has an average of 40 years or more, while copper roofing has a longer average lifespan of 60-100 years or more.

3. Aluminum vs. Tin Roofing

● Cost. Tin roofing costs between $3 to $15 per square foot on average. For a standard 3,000-square-foot roof, you can expect to pay between $9,000 to $45,000, which tends to be a bit more expensive compared to an aluminum roof.
● Durability. Generally speaking, a tin roof is durable and resistant to cracking. A tin roof should hold up well during rain and snowstorm, however, tin roofing can dent in heavy hailstorms. Tin roofing tends to be slightly more durable in inclement weather than aluminum roofing.
● Lifespan. A new tin roof should last around 40 to 70 years when properly maintained, compared to aluminum roofing’s average 40 year lifespan.

4. Aluminum vs. Zinc Roofing

● Cost: Zinc roofing costs run from $5.65 to $11 per square foot, or between $16,950 to $33,000 for a standard $3,000 square foot roof, which is slightly more expensive than an aluminum roof.
● Durability. Zinc is fire-resistant, insect-proof, and prohibits the growth of mold and mildew. Similar to copper, zinc roofing materials undergo a patina process that protects them from rust and weathering. It is considered slightly more durable during inclement conditions compared to aluminum.
● Lifespan. Zinc roofing can last an impressive 60 to 100 years, which is about double the lifespan of aluminum roofing.

How Do You Install a Aluminium Roof Tile?

To install a Aluminium roof tile, you first need to ensure that you have all the necessary materials and tools. This includes underlayment, aluminum roof panels, fasteners, safety gear, and sealants. Now, to install an aluminum roof, you’ll need to follow certain steps:
● First, you need to ensure the roof surface is clean and free from all dust and debris.
● Next, install an underlayment over the entire roof deck. This provides an extra waterproof barrier beneath the metal panels.
● Now, you're ready to install the Aluminium roof tile panels. Start at one edge of the roof and work across, overlapping and interlocking the panels according to the manufacturer's instructions.
● Use the recommended fasteners to securely attach the panels to the roof deck along the raised seams or battens. Apply a durable sealant at overlapping seams to prevent leaks.
● For roof edges, ridges, hips, and valleys, install appropriate metal trim pieces and flashing. Seal all joints thoroughly with caulk or butyl tape.
● As you work across the roof, ensure each panel aligns properly, and the seams interlock tightly. The metal expands and contracts, so allow small gaps for thermal movement.
● Finally, install vents, skylights, or other roof penetrations using compatible flashing kits made for aluminium roof tile systems.

How to Apply Aluminium Roof Tile Coating

Preparation
Clean the roof surface thoroughly to remove debris, dust, and dirt. If safe, first brush all dust and debris off the roof with a patio brush. You may need to pressure wash stubborn spots, and while you can use specialty cleaning products, make sure it is all rinsed off. Allow the roof to dry completely.

Repair
Inspect the roof for any signs of damage, such as rust or corrosion, and make necessary repairs. While aluminum roof coating does an excellent job of reflecting harmful UV rays, it doesn’t do much for sealing anything but the smallest cracks or holes. You can use roofing cement or other sealants for these problem areas, just make sure you’re using the right product for the right type of roofing and follow all manufacturer’s directions.

Mixing Aluminum Roof Coatings

Aluminum roof coating is relatively thin, similar to paint, and will need to be mixed before use. Mixing the aluminum roof coating with a mixing paddle attachment for your drill, start at the bottom to bring the aluminum flakes to the top. Mix on a low setting to prevent splashing the sealant all over. Once you have a nice, even consistency in the can, it’s time for application.

Application

Spread the coating over the roof by using a nap roller for larger areas and a brush for more hard-to-reach areas, corners, edges, or around appliances (if applicable). Start in one corner of the roof and work towards the ladder or roof exit–you don’t want to paint yourself into a corner literally! As a general rule of thumb, aim for a coverage rate of 1 to 1.5 gallons per 50-100 square feet.

Drying

Allow the coating to dry completely according to the manufacturer’s instructions before applying additional coats or allowing foot traffic. This can take eight hours, but give it a day if possible before walking on it for best results.

Q: Can you shingle an aluminum roof?

A: Yes, you can do a metal roof and asphalt shingle roof combination.

Q: Should you use a vapor barrier under a aluminium roof?

A: Aluminium roofs don't absorb moisture, and that means condensation is a big concern for homes with metal shingles.

Q: Do you have to put slats under a aluminium roof?

A: Yes, it is highly recommended. Not only does it make the roof easier to walk on during the installation process, it is also critical to providing proper air flow between the roof underlay and the roofing panels.

Q: Do you put plywood under a aluminium roof?

A: The longer answer is that when aluminium roofing is installed, it is always best to use a roofing felt layer between the aluminium roofing and the bare plywood. This should always be used as a bare minimum, but some people also choose to add an extra layer with a slip sheet that can also help safeguard the felt sheet.

Q: How do you waterproof an aluminum roof?

A: Tape Vents and Protrusions: Apply Seam Tape around vents, flashing, and protrusions. Paint Over Seam Tape: Use Liquid Rubber Waterproof Sealant over the taped areas for extra sealing. Coat the Entire Roof: Apply Liquid Rubber Waterproof Sealant across the roof using a brush, roller, or sprayer.

Q: What is required under aluminium roofing?

A: Felt/tar paper is the most common type of underlayment. It is made of organic materials, such as wood fibers or paper, that are saturated with bitumen. Felt or tar paper is durable and easy to install, making it a good choice for most aluminium roofing projects.

Q: Do aluminum roofs get hot?

A: Roofing customers often falsely assume metal roofs generate excess heat, asking “Do metal roofs attract heat?” You can reassure your customers that, no, metal roofs do not attract heat. In fact, they can help deflect heat from your home.

Q: How long does it take for aluminum roofing to dry?

A: Ponding water dulls aluminum and may cause adhesion failure. Dries to the touch in 4-8 hours and fully cures in 24-48 hours at 70°F & 50% relative humidity. Higher humidity, thicker films, poor air flow and lower temperatures will increase dry times.

Q: Is an ice and water shield required under metal roofing?

A: Felt and synthetic underlayment are great options for asphalt roof systems. However, metal roofing needs something different because the expansion and contraction destroys the integrity of the normal types of underlayment. For metal roofing, the underlayment must be high-heat ice and water shield.
