Frequently Asked Questions

Find answers to the most frequently asked questions below.

What are the advantages of metal roofing sheets?

Metal roofing sheets are a smart choice due to their strength and resistance to weather conditions. Steel can withstand heavy loads — such as snow or hail — without deforming. Its lightweight nature also reduces stress on the roof structure, making installation easier and lowering the risk of overloading. Protective coatings, applied in varying thicknesses (measured in microns), enhance resistance to corrosion and UV exposure, helping extend the lifespan of the material even in demanding environments.

Are roofing sheets suitable for residential projects

Yes, metal roofing sheets are increasingly used in residential projects — especially for extensions, outbuildings, and contemporary renovations. Once associated mainly with industrial buildings, they’re now embraced by architects for their clean lines and minimalist look. Roofing sheets offer a quick and practical way to renovate or extend a home, and come in a variety of profiles, shapes, and colours to match different architectural styles. Their affordability and adaptability make them a strong choice for modern residential design.

Are tile-effect roofing sheets a good alternative to traditional roof tiles?

Tile-effect metal sheets are a practical and cost-effective alternative to traditional tiles. Unlike ceramic or concrete tiles, they are much lighter, reducing the load on the roof structure. They can be installed quickly and also designed to provide effective weatherproofing, with efficient interlocking systems that prevent water infiltration. In short, tile-effect sheets combine the look of classic roofing with the strength of steel, while requiring less maintenance.

Are metal roofing sheets compatible with solar panels?

Yes — metal roofing sheets are highly compatible with solar panels and are often considered one of the best roofing types for photovoltaic integration. Their structural strength and reflective properties make them especially suited for energy-efficient installations.

Joris Ide offers dedicated mounting systems like JoriSolar RS-R, RS-EVO, and Opti'Roof, designed specifically for installing solar panels on metal roofs, including single skin profiles. These systems simplify installation with pre-assembled components, require no on-site preparation, and support both landscape and portrait layouts. They are widely used across industrial, agricultural, commercial, and residential projects.

By combining the durability of steel roofing with renewable energy production, metal roofs equipped with solar panels provide a long-lasting, low-maintenance, and environmentally responsible solution — helping reduce energy costs and lower carbon emissions over time.
