Benefits of Stainless Steel Roofing
Stainless steel roofing provides remarkable durability, lasting up to 100 years under ideal conditions. Its lightweight nature reduces structural pressure on buildings. Stainless steel is also highly resistant to weather and corrosion, requiring minimal maintenance. Over time, it acquires a subtle, natural matte finish. Its recyclability and low thermal expansion coefficient contribute to its status as a “green material.” Furthermore, its versatility makes it suitable for various applications, including standing seam, self-supporting, and cleated seam roofing, as well as gutters and roofing accessories.

Exceptional Durability:
Stainless steel roofing can last up to 100 years, offering long-term protection with minimal maintenance. -
Lightweight Structure:
Its lightweight nature reduces the structural load on buildings, which benefits the building's integrity. -
High Corrosion Resistance:
Stainless steel is highly resistant to weather and corrosion, making it suitable for various environments, including coastal and industrial areas.
HOW LONG DOES A STAINLESS STEEL ROOF LAST?
There are a number of factors that can affect a steel roofs lifespan. If the conditions are ideal and the room below (the attic) is favourably ventilated, they can last for around 50 years (half a century!). But when stainless steel material is used, this durability can double and the roof can last for up to 100 years, similarly to copper and zinc roofing.
Not only is it a durable metal, but it’s also much more lightweight than standard shingle roofing, which mutually benefits the structure of the building as less pressure is exerted on the house or property over time.
CAN YOU PAINT A STEEL ROOF?
It’s definitely true that painting on metals is different to painting on most other surfaces such as plaster. Using water-based or oil-based products specifically designed for this purpose is the way to do it and that’s only after preparing the surface using acetone and mineral spirits. If you have any questions regarding this or installation don’t hesitate to get in touch.
As experts in all aspects of the installation process, we will make sure your new roof is secure, stable and looking great! Simply contact us today for more information about our stainless steel roofing including roofing repairs and we can let you know our costs & prices.

UGINOX
UGINOX is a stabilised stainless steel, which is ideally suited for use on roofs.
The material is a bistabilized ferritic stainless steel, which has an electro-tinned coating applied to both sides.
The steel contains 18% chromium and molybdenum, and it has been stabilized with titanium
and niobium.
These materials give UGINOX the ability to gently weather over time. This gives the material a far more natural appearance than traditional stool roofing. A couple of years after its installation, the UGINOX steel will have acquired a stylish and understated matt finish.
While delivering this sleek final appearance, UGINOX has an extremely high corrosion
resistance. Once it has achieved this desired finish, the material’s natural weathering will completely cease.
In fact, UGINOX steel is highly suitable for aggressive atmospheres. This is all thanks to the incorporation of chromium in the steel. This gives the steel a strong protective layer across its surface, and so makes it highly corrosion resistant in the face of water, air and sunlight.
UGINOX can be used across a vast array of construction applications, including:
- Standing seam roofing
- Self supporting roofing
- Cleated seam roofing
- Roofing accessories
- Gutters
- Properties situated in extreme environments, including high or low temperatures
