Corrugated roofing refers to roofing made from corrugated iron sheets.
This type of roof is usually used only for low-cost housing because it can be found in almost any country and is easy to assemble without the use of tools, thus making them cheaper than other types. What's more, they are often easier to maintain because metal roofs need little maintenance aside from an occasional hosing down or power washing with a water/soap mixture (though this may do harm). The downside is that these roofs typically last less time; while many will live up to around 20 years, others might not even survive ten years before needing replacement.
Corrugations also offer less protection against rain damage as compared to slanted roofs where rainfall can run off easily.
Advantages of corrugated roofs include the following:
Disadvantages of corrugated roofs includes the following:
Corrugated roofing find useful application in certain areas such as in coastal villages and other waterlogged regions where roofing materials are susceptible to corrosion. With regard to corrosion, corrugated roofs have a longer lifespan than roofs made from other materials. There are several reasons for this. For instance, moisture does not accumulate on a corrugated roof as easily as it accumulates on other types of roofs. As such, corrosion is less likely to occur and the building will last longer without need for repairs or replacement.
