2. Metal roof - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Metal_roof

   Metal roof. A metal roof is a roofing system featuring metal pieces or tiles exhibiting corrosion resistance, impermeability to water, and long life. It is a component of the building envelope. The metal pieces may be a covering on a structural, non-waterproof roof, or they could be self-supporting sheets.

3. Corrugated galvanised iron - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Corrugated_galvanised_iron

   Corrugated galvanised iron (CGI) or steel, colloquially corrugated iron (near universal), wriggly tin (taken from UK military slang), pailing (in Caribbean English), corrugated sheet metal (in North America), zinc (in Cyprus and Nigeria) or custom orb / corro sheet (Australia), is a building material composed of sheets of hot-dip galvanised ...

4. Solar shingle - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Solar_shingle

   Solar shingles are photovoltaic modules, capturing sunlight and transforming it into electricity. Most solar shingles are 12 in × 86 in (300 mm × 2,180 mm) and can be stapled directly to the roofing cloth. When applied they have a 5 in × 86 in (130 mm × 2,180 mm) strip of exposed surface. Different models of shingles have different mounting ...

5. Copper cladding - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Copper_cladding

   Copper cladding is very durable, lightweight compared to other materials and techniques, and at the end of the building life is also 100% recyclable. Depending on metal prices, copper may be a very cost-effective cladding and roofing material. With good building design, materials choice and craftsmanship, copper roofing or facade cladding may ...

6. Rooftop solar power - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rooftop_solar_power

   With the increasing efficiencies of thin film solar, installing them on metal roofs has become cost competitive with traditional monocrystalline and polycrystalline solar cells. The thin film panels are flexible and run down the standing seam metal roofs and stick to the metal roof with adhesive, so no holes are needed to install. The ...

7. Sandwich panel - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sandwich_panel

   The density of sandwich panels range from 10 kg/m 2 up to 35 kg/m 2, depending on the foam and metal thickness, decreasing time and effort in: transportation, handling and installation. All these geometric and material properties influence the global/local failure behavior of the sandwich panels under different loading conditions such as ...
