Types of Metal Roof Panels
There are many types of metal roof panels, which can be mainly classified from two aspects: system and material.
Classification by system
Standing seam bite system: This system fixes the metal roof panels together by standing seam bite, and has good waterproof performance and wind pressure resistance.
Standing seam system: The standing seam system fixes the roof panels by standing seam, which is suitable for large public buildings and stadiums and other occasions that require higher structural performance.
Classical buckle cover system: The buckle cover design with classical beauty is suitable for occasions such as historical building restoration and high-end villas.
Flat lock buckle system: The flat lock buckle system connects the metal roof panels together by flat lock buckle, which is easy to construct and has certain waterproof performance.
Flat slat system: The flat slat system consists of flat slats and is suitable for simple roof structures.
Corrugated board system: A metal sheet with a wavy or ribbed shape formed by mechanical profiling is suitable for roofs that require certain drainage performance.
Unit plate system: The metal roof panel is divided into several unit plates for installation, which is suitable for the rapid construction of large roofs.
Classification by material
Aluminum alloy plate: It is one of the mainstream materials in metal roofs because of its light weight, high strength, corrosion resistance and easy processing. It is especially suitable for large public buildings and stadiums where the weight of the building needs to be reduced.
Aluminum-magnesium alloy plate(ZAM steel): It combines the lightweight properties of aluminum and the high strength properties of magnesium, and has higher strength and better corrosion resistance. It is especially suitable for marine climate areas and can effectively resist salt spray erosion.
Titanium alloy plate: With its extremely high strength, corrosion resistance and lightweight characteristics, it has become the preferred material for high-end buildings and special environments. However, due to its high cost, it is generally only used in projects with extremely high performance requirements.
Copper plate: It is not only beautiful and generous, but also has good electrical conductivity, thermal conductivity and corrosion resistance. A dense oxide film can be formed on the surface of the copper plate to effectively prevent further corrosion. It is often used in occasions such as historical building restoration and high-end villas.
Stainless steel plate: With its excellent corrosion resistance and good mechanical properties, it has a place in the field of metal roofing. In particular, its excellent anti-rust ability makes stainless steel plate an ideal choice for some special environments, such as chemical facilities and food processing workshops.
Galvanized plate and galvanized plate: Galvanized plate has good corrosion resistance and ductility; galvanized plate adds aluminum elements on the basis of zinc plate, further improving corrosion resistance and service life, and is widely used in coastal areas and areas with heavy industrial pollution.
In addition, there are metal roof panels made of other materials such as titanium zinc and galvanized color plates. These materials each have their own unique properties and applicable scenarios. When choosing a metal roof panel, you should consider the specific application scenario, climate conditions, construction requirements, budget and other factors.
