Aluzinc roofing sheets are very popular because they are durable and resistant to damage. Aluzinc roofing sheets in Ghana are produced by an innovative process where rolled steel is continuously hot-dipped in an alloy coat comprising 55 per cent aluminium, 43.4 per cent zinc and 1.6 per cent silicon.

The aluminium component of the coat offers a strong barrier between the strong core steel and harsh weather conditions. The zinc also adds a layer of protection. Aluzinc roofing sheets last long because the aluminium-zinc coating technology shields the steel sheet from corrosion. Aluzinc roofing sheets are environmentally friendly because of the ability of steel (the core product), to recycle itself over hundreds of years without any loss of its fundamental qualities. Aluzinc is also a suitable substrate for organic coatings which means that it has excellent paint and colour retention.

Features of aluzinc roofing sheets in Ghana

• Strong resistance to corrosion

Research shows that aluzinc roofing sheets are 3-7 times more resistant to corrosion as compared to regular galvanized steel.

• Great heat reflection

 Aluzinc roofing sheets are able to reflect sun rays rather than absorb them and keep buildings cool due to their hard surface.

• High strength and durability

Aluzinc roofing sheets in Ghana are used for many things such as fences because of their great strength and longevity. Aluzinc roofing sheets do not wear or tear. According to experts, aluzinc roofing sheets are twice as hard as regular galvanized roofing sheets.

• 100% green material

 With a long lifespan, steel (the base of aluzinc) is made using “a green process”. Steel is the most recycled material in the world. 

• Because of their shiny surfaces, aluzinc roofs still look new after a heavy downpour as dirty particles are washed away.

Currently, new roofing technologies and roofing sheets have emerged. Aluzinc roofing sheets in Ghana are being transformed into various designs and styles. Rosa roof tiles are roofing tiles manufactured in New Zealand from high-grade aluzinc steel (AZ150G).  The surface of the Rosa stone coated aluzinc steel roof tiles and shingles are glazed with a distinct coating technology of natural stone coated chips that makes them resistant to fading and rusting. Rosa stone coated aluzinc roofing tiles come in 1.32m(length)× 0.4m (width) × 0.6mm (thickness) dimensions.

4. They are leakproof and maintenance-free.
5. They are soundproof: you do not hear the sound of rain on the roof when it is raining.

7. Rosa stone coated aluzinc roofing tiles and shingles are good for rainwater harvesting and water from the roof is safe for drinking as they do not contaminate water when rain falls on them.
8. They are heat resistant: The stone coated outer surface reflects heat away resulting in internal cold rooms.
9. They are environmentally friendly roofing sheets.
10. They come in vibrant colours and unique designs that give your home an aesthetic look.

Aluzinc roofing sheets versus aluminium roofing sheets

Aluminium roofing sheets are made from 100 per cent aluminium whereas aluzinc roofing sheets are basically made from a composition of aluminium, zinc and silicon. Although aluminium roofing sheets and aluzinc roofing sheets are great metal roofing sheets with similar properties and benefits, there are some features that differentiate the two.

Similarities between aluzinc and aluminium roofing sheets

• Aluminium roofing sheets and aluzinc roofing sheets are highly resistant to corrosion.
• Both roofing sheets are long-lasting and durable.
• They both do not absorb heat, leaving rooms cool.
• They are both environmentally friendly.

Differences between aluzinc and aluminium roofing sheets

• Aluminium roofing sheets cost a bit more than aluzinc roofing sheets.
• Aluminium roofing sheets can be noisy as compared to aluzinc roofing sheets such as Rosa stone coated aluzinc steel roofing tiles which block out noise from the rain.
• Compared to aluzinc roofing sheets whose hard surfaces make them impossible to be dented, aluminium roofing sheets are easily dented.
• Aluminium expands about two times more than steel (the base material of aluzinc roofing sheets) under the sun. Hence there could be a possibility of damage to the roof, especially around the nail hole which could lead to roof leakages.
