Roofing your home
Homeowners are taking more interest in the roof system of their home, realising it is an important investment within the total home package. The choice of roof requires careful consideration, whether you are installing a new roof or re-roofing an existing one.
RANZ members can assist and advise you with selection of the type of roof best suited for your needs and environmental conditions from the wide range of roofing systems and products available on the New Zealand market.
Heightened Consumer Awareness
Choosing the right installer
In today’s climate, consumers are becoming more aware and cautious of the tradespeople they employ and the importance of using members of national trade organisations. Essential to the longevity of a roof system is quality product competently installed by a roofing specialist.
Over the years roofing has become a specialist stand-alone trade demanding greater knowledge and skills by those installing roofs, in order to keep up with change in architectural design, technology and the varied number of products and profiles now available in the marketplace.
For assurance of quality, make the right choice! Use a specialist installation and maintenance company for all your roofing needs - CONSULT with and employ the expertise and services of a RANZ Member.
Choosing the right roofing product
Location and environmental conditions dictate the type of roofing material best suited for your building. Use of the wrong product in coastal areas for example, could result in premature corrosion or breakdown of the roof system.
In the case of a re-roof, using an alternative product may require additional structural work. Aesthetic appearance, although important, comes second to the performance and durability of the roof.
Essential to the longevity of your roof is compatability of the products used to install and complete the roof system.
Investigate your options carefully and the product warranties that go along with your product of choice. CONSULT our product supplier and installation company members for advice.
