Benefits of plastic roof sheets
Plastic roofing sheets can be completely transparent, or more obscure for added privacy. Specific plastic sheet panels can let light into areas if the rest of the panels are opaque. Plastic sheets are easy to clean, lightweight, durable, cost-effective and easy to install.
Some drawbacks of plastic roof sheets include their less visually appealing aesthetic compared to textured metal sheets. Some people complain that rain makes a considerable amount of noise on plastic. Plastic sheets are also only suitable for non-domestic roofing.
Benefits of metal roof sheets
aluminium Metal roofing sheets are incredibly durable, resulting in a long life expectancy. They are also environmentally friendly, as they are often made from recycled materials. Also, as a good acoustic insulator, metal dampens the noise of rain and offers a textured or smooth finish.
Metal roof sheets are generally more expensive in the short-term compared to other roofing materials, which is one of their main drawbacks. Thanks to their long life, however, metal sheets pay for themselves in comparison to replacing a different roof material more frequently.
