Understanding Metal Roofing: Types and Characteristics
Metal roofing has evolved significantly over the past few decades, and today's options bear little resemblance to the basic tin roofs of yesteryear. Modern metal roofing systems offer exceptional durability, impressive warranties, and aesthetic options that can complement virtually any architectural style.
Types of Metal Roofing Available in Queensland
Colorbond Steel
Colorbond is Australia's most popular metal roofing material, and for good reason. Manufactured by BlueScope Steel, Colorbond features a multi-layered coating system that provides outstanding corrosion resistance—critical for Gold Coast homes exposed to salt-laden coastal air.
Key features include:
- Thermatech solar reflectance technology that reduces heat absorption
- 36 contemporary colours designed for Australian conditions
- Warranties up to 30 years depending on location and exposure
- 100% recyclable at end of life
Zincalume Steel
Zincalume offers excellent corrosion protection through its aluminium/zinc alloy coating. While typically used as a base for painted products, unpainted Zincalume is sometimes chosen for industrial or rural applications. However, I generally don't recommend unpainted Zincalume within 500 metres of the coastline due to accelerated corrosion from salt exposure.
Aluminium Roofing
Aluminium roofing is lighter than steel and offers superior corrosion resistance, making it an excellent choice for absolute beachfront properties. It's approximately three times the cost of Colorbond but can be worthwhile for homes facing direct ocean exposure.
Standing Seam Metal Roofing
This premium option features concealed fasteners and raised seams that create a distinctive architectural appearance. Standing seam roofs excel in weather resistance because there are no exposed screw holes for water to penetrate. Popular for modern and contemporary home designs across the Gold Coast.
Metal Roof Profiles
The profile you choose affects both aesthetics and performance:
- Corrugated: The classic Australian roofing profile, excellent for water runoff and structural strength
- Trimdek/Klip-Lok: Popular for low-pitch roofs, featuring a more contemporary appearance
- Custom Orb: Modern take on traditional corrugated with improved spanning capabilities
- Standing Seam: Premium architectural profile with concealed fixings
Understanding Tile Roofing: Types and Characteristics
Tile roofing has graced Australian homes for over a century, and it remains a popular choice for homeowners who appreciate its traditional aesthetics, thermal mass, and proven longevity.
Types of Roof Tiles
Concrete Tiles
Concrete tiles dominate the Australian residential market. Made from sand, cement, and water, they're moulded under pressure and cured to create durable roofing units.
Characteristics include:
- Weight of approximately 50kg per square metre
- Lifespan of 50+ years with proper maintenance
- Available in flat (slate-look), low profile, and traditional profiles
- Can be painted or sealed to refresh appearance
- Excellent fire resistance (non-combustible)
Terracotta Tiles
Terracotta (clay) tiles represent the premium end of tile roofing. Kiln-fired at extremely high temperatures, terracotta tiles offer exceptional colour retention and durability.
Key benefits:
- Colours are integral, not surface coatings—they won't fade
- Can last 75-100 years in ideal conditions
- Superior to concrete in harsh coastal environments
- Lighter than concrete (approximately 45kg per square metre)
- Premium aesthetic appeal that many homeowners prefer
Slate Tiles
Natural slate is occasionally used on heritage or high-end custom homes but is rarely practical for typical Queensland residential applications due to cost and weight considerations.
Tile Profiles and Styles
- Flat/Slate Profile: Clean, contemporary appearance popular in modern builds
- Low Profile: Subtle curves offering a blend of traditional and modern
- Traditional/High Profile: Classic Mediterranean or colonial appearance
- Shingle Style: Textured, layered look mimicking traditional timber shingles
Climate Performance: How Each Material Handles Queensland Conditions
Queensland's climate presents unique challenges that significantly impact roofing performance. Let me break down how metal and tile roofs handle our specific conditions.
Storm and Wind Resistance
Metal Roofing Performance
Metal roofs generally excel in high-wind conditions when properly installed. A correctly fastened Colorbond roof can withstand wind speeds exceeding 250 km/h—well above the requirements for most Queensland regions, including cyclone-rated areas.
However, the key phrase is "properly installed." I've attended countless storm damage call-outs across the Gold Coast where metal roofing has failed not because of material deficiency but due to:
- Inadequate screw patterns (too few fasteners)
- Incorrect screw types or sizes
- Missing or deteriorated rubber washers
- Poor flashing installation around penetrations
Tile Roofing Performance
Tile roofs resist wind through weight and mechanical fixing. Modern installations require tiles to be secured with clips, screws, or wire ties—not simply relying on gravity as was common decades ago.
Tile roofs face specific storm vulnerabilities:
- Individual tiles can lift, crack, or dislodge in severe winds
- Debris impact can crack or break tiles
- Ridge capping is particularly vulnerable if mortar deteriorates
- Valleys and flashings remain weak points
After major storm events, we typically see more call-outs for tile roof repairs than metal roof repairs at Radiant Roof Repairs. However, tile damage is often repairable by replacing individual tiles, while metal panel damage may require larger section replacement.
Heat and UV Exposure
Queensland's intense UV radiation and summer heat test any roofing material.
Metal Roofing Heat Performance
Modern Colorbond with Thermatech technology reflects a significant portion of solar radiation, reducing heat transfer into your home. Lighter colours can reflect up to 70% of solar heat, while even darker colours outperform traditional roofing materials.
Metal roofs heat up quickly but also cool down rapidly once the sun sets or clouds pass. This characteristic can be advantageous for evening cooling but may increase air conditioning loads during peak afternoon heat without adequate insulation.
Tile Roofing Heat Performance
Tiles provide superior thermal mass, meaning they absorb heat slowly during the day and release it slowly at night. This characteristic helps moderate temperature fluctuations inside your home.
In practice, a well-insulated tile roof can maintain more consistent internal temperatures than a metal roof. The air gap beneath tiles (they're not flat against the roof structure) also provides additional insulation value.
Salt Air and Coastal Corrosion
Living near the coast—as many Gold Coast residents do—introduces corrosive salt air that accelerates material degradation.
Metal Roofing Coastal Considerations
BlueScope provides specific warranties based on distance from the coast:
- Severe Marine (within 100m of breaking surf): Reduced warranties, consider aluminium
- Marine (100m-1km): Standard Colorbond suitable with regular maintenance
- Beyond 1km: Standard warranties apply
Regular washing (quarterly in marine environments) significantly extends metal roof life by removing salt deposits before they cause corrosion.
Tile Roofing Coastal Considerations
Tiles themselves are largely unaffected by salt air. However, the metal components—valley irons, flashings, screws, and clips—remain vulnerable and require appropriate material selection and maintenance.
Terracotta tiles outperform concrete in severe coastal environments as concrete can absorb moisture and salt, leading to surface degradation over time.
Humidity and Moisture Management
Queensland's humidity creates condensation challenges for any roofing system.
Metal Roofing Moisture Considerations
Metal roofs are more prone to condensation on their underside during temperature swings. Proper installation requires:
- Adequate ventilation in the roof space
- Anti-condensation blankets (sisalation or similar) beneath roofing
- Appropriate sarking where required
Tile Roofing Moisture Considerations
The air gap beneath tiles provides natural ventilation that helps manage moisture. However, tiles can become porous over time, absorbing water that leads to:
- Mould and lichen growth
- Increased weight loading
- Potential moisture transfer to the roof space
- Deterioration of tile coating
Regular cleaning and sealing helps tile roofs resist moisture absorption.
Cost Comparison: Initial Investment and Long-Term Value
Understanding the true cost of roofing means looking beyond initial installation to consider the full lifecycle investment.
Initial Installation Costs
Metal Roofing Installation
For a typical Gold Coast home (200-250 square metres of roof area), expect:
- Basic Colorbond installation: $15,000-$25,000
- Premium profiles (standing seam): $25,000-$40,000
- Aluminium roofing: $30,000-$50,000
Factors affecting metal roofing costs:
- Roof complexity (hips, valleys, penetrations)
- Pitch and accessibility
- Removal of existing roofing
- Insulation upgrades
- Fascia and gutter replacement
Tile Roofing Installation
For the same home, tile installation typically costs:
- Concrete tiles: $20,000-$35,000
- Terracotta tiles: $30,000-$45,000
Tile installation costs more due to:
- Higher material costs per square metre
- Greater labour intensity
- Structural requirements for increased weight
- More complex flashing and valley work
Maintenance Costs Over Time
Metal Roof Maintenance
Metal roofs require relatively minimal maintenance:
- Annual inspection: $150-$300
- Screw and washer replacement (as needed): $200-$500
- Cleaning (recommended annually, more in coastal areas): $200-$400
- Recoating (after 15-20 years, optional): $3,000-$8,000
Total 30-year maintenance estimate: $5,000-$15,000
Tile Roof Maintenance
Tile roofs require more regular attention:
- Annual inspection: $150-$300
- Ridge capping repointing (every 10-15 years): $1,500-$4,000
- Broken tile replacement (ongoing): $150-$500 per incident
- Cleaning and treatment (every 5-10 years): $1,500-$4,000
- Valley iron replacement (once in roof lifetime): $1,000-$3,000
- Full restoration (every 15-20 years): $2,500-$8,000
Total 30-year maintenance estimate: $10,000-$30,000
Lifespan and Replacement Cycles
Metal Roof Lifespan
- Quality Colorbond: 30-50 years
- Aluminium: 40-70 years
- Standing seam (quality installation): 50+ years
Tile Roof Lifespan
- Concrete tiles: 50-70 years
- Terracotta tiles: 75-100+ years
While tiles potentially last longer, the supporting structure, flashings, and valley irons typically need replacement before the tiles themselves fail.
Insurance Considerations
Some insurance companies offer premium discounts for metal roofing due to:
- Superior storm resistance
- Fire resistance (non-combustible)
- Lower damage claim frequency
Check with your insurer, as savings can be significant over time.
Energy Efficiency: Impact on Your Power Bills
With Queensland's reliance on air conditioning, your roof's thermal performance directly affects energy costs.
Metal Roofing Energy Performance
Modern Colorbond roofing with Thermatech technology significantly reduces heat absorption compared to older metal roofing products or dark tiles. Studies show light-coloured Colorbond roofs can reduce cooling energy requirements by up to 15% compared to dark roofs.
Key factors for metal roof energy efficiency:
- Colour selection (lighter colours reflect more heat)
- Insulation quality beneath roofing
- Roof space ventilation
- Presence of reflective sarking
Tile Roofing Energy Performance
Tiles offer different thermal benefits:
- High thermal mass moderates temperature swings
- Air gap beneath tiles provides insulation value
- Less radiant heat transfer to ceiling space
Research by the CSIRO found that, all else being equal, tile roofs can maintain internal temperatures 2-3 degrees cooler than metal roofs during peak summer heat—potentially significant for comfort and energy costs.
Optimising Either Choice
Regardless of roofing material, maximise energy efficiency with:
- Minimum R4.0 ceiling insulation (R6.0 recommended for Queensland)
- Reflective sarking beneath roofing
- Adequate roof space ventilation
- Light-coloured roofing where aesthetically appropriate
- Solar panels (both materials suit solar installation)
Aesthetic Considerations: Matching Your Home's Style
Your roof comprises up to 30% of your home's visible exterior, making material choice a significant aesthetic decision.
Metal Roofing Aesthetics
Best suited for:
- Contemporary and modern architectural styles
- Queenslander renovations (traditional corrugated)
- Industrial and minimalist designs
- Rural and coastal properties
- Homes with low-pitch roofs
Colour and finish options:
- 36 standard Colorbond colours
- Matt finishes for reduced glare
- Custom colours for specific architectural requirements
Potential aesthetic concerns:
- Oil canning (waviness) in flat panels
- Visible fasteners in some profiles
- Less traditional appearance for certain home styles
Tile Roofing Aesthetics
Best suited for:
- Mediterranean and Spanish colonial styles
- Traditional Queensland homes
- Federation and heritage properties
- Hamptons and coastal cottage designs
- Homes in established neighbourhoods with tile roof prevalence
Colour and profile options:
- Extensive colour range
- Multiple profile options (flat, low, high)
- Glazed finishes for premium appearance
- Custom colours available for large projects
Potential aesthetic concerns:
- Colour fading over time (concrete tiles)
- Mould and lichen growth affecting appearance
- Limited suitability for very low-pitch roofs
Neighbourhood and Resale Considerations
Consider your neighbourhood context:
- Prestige suburbs often favour tile roofing for traditional homes
- Modern developments increasingly use metal roofing
- Heritage overlays may restrict material choices
- Buyer expectations vary by area and property type
Structural Considerations: What Your Home Can Support
The weight difference between metal and tiles has significant structural implications.
Weight Comparison
- Metal roofing: 5-7 kg per square metre
- Concrete tiles: 50-55 kg per square metre
- Terracotta tiles: 45-50 kg per square metre
This means a tile roof on a 200 square metre home weighs approximately 9-10 tonnes more than an equivalent metal roof.
Structural Requirements
For new builds:
Structural engineers design roof frames for the specified material. Choosing tiles requires heavier framing members, more supports, and stronger connections—adding to construction costs.
For reroofing projects:
Converting from metal to tiles typically requires structural assessment and potentially significant upgrades to support the additional weight. Conversely, converting from tiles to metal often allows the existing structure to be used with minimal modification.
Older homes:
Many Queensland homes built before the 1980s were designed for lightweight roofing. Adding tiles to these structures is often impractical or prohibitively expensive.
Foundation Implications
The additional weight of tile roofing affects total building loads, which can be relevant for:
- Homes on reactive clay soils
- Properties with existing foundation issues
- Homes built on stumps or piers
- Second-storey additions
Installation Process: What to Expect
Understanding the installation process helps set realistic expectations.

Frequently Asked Questions
How long does a metal roof last compared to tiles in Queensland conditions?
Quality Colorbond metal roofing typically lasts 30-50 years in Queensland conditions, while concrete tiles can last 50-70 years and terracotta tiles 75-100 years. However, supporting components like flashings and valley irons on tile roofs often need replacement before the tiles themselves fail. In coastal areas within a few kilometres of the ocean, metal roofing may have a reduced lifespan without diligent maintenance, while tiles remain largely unaffected by salt air.
Is a metal roof louder during rain than a tile roof?
Yes, metal roofs do produce more noise during heavy rainfall than tile roofs. However, modern installation techniques significantly reduce this issue. Adequate insulation (minimum R4.0, preferably R6.0) in the ceiling space, along with anti-condensation blankets beneath the roofing, dampens sound considerably. Many homeowners report they don't notice rain noise with properly insulated metal roofs. Tile roofs, with their mass and air gap, naturally dampen sound more effectively.
Can I install solar panels on both metal and tile roofs?
Yes, both metal and tile roofs accommodate solar panel installation, though the mounting systems differ. Metal roofs often use clamp-style mounts that attach directly to the standing seams or specialised brackets that grip corrugations—no roof penetrations required. Tile roofs require brackets that fix to the roof structure beneath the tiles, with tiles trimmed or flashed around mounting points. Both systems work well, but metal roof installations are typically faster and less expensive.
Which roof type is better for bushfire-prone areas?
Both Colorbond metal roofing and concrete or terracotta tiles achieve the highest Bushfire Attack Level (BAL) ratings available. For BAL-40 and BAL-FZ (Flame Zone) ratings, either material can be used when installed according to Australian Standard AS 3959. The critical factors are proper ember-proofing of all gaps, appropriate sarking, and sealed gutters—not the roofing material itself. However, metal roofing's lack of gaps between components can make ember-proofing more straightforward.
What is the cost difference between repairing metal versus tile roofs?
Minor repairs to tile roofs are often less expensive—replacing a few cracked tiles might cost $150-$300, while patching or replacing metal panels typically costs $300-$600 minimum due to the need to match profiles and colours. However, tile roofs require more frequent repairs overall. Ridge capping repointing alone costs $1,500-$4,000 and needs attention every 10-15 years. Over a 30-year period, tile roof maintenance typically costs $10,000-$30,000 compared to $5,000-$15,000 for metal roofs.
How do metal and tile roofs affect home resale value on the Gold Coast?
Both well-maintained metal and tile roofs are acceptable to Gold Coast buyers, though preferences vary by property type and suburb. Prestige homes often benefit from quality tile roofing, while contemporary homes suit metal. A new Colorbond roof can add $15,000-$30,000 in perceived value, while a restored tile roof adds similar amounts. The key is condition—any roof in poor condition detracts from property value regardless of material. Buyers generally factor in replacement or restoration costs when making offers on homes with aging roofs.
Can I change from a tile roof to a metal roof?
Yes, converting from tile to metal is one of the more straightforward roof conversions. Since tiles are heavier, your existing structure can easily support lighter metal roofing. The process involves removing all tiles, inspecting and repairing the frame, adjusting batten spacing if necessary, and installing the new metal roof. Total project cost typically ranges from $19,999 to $35,000 for an average-sized home. The conversion also allows for insulation upgrades and addressing any structural issues discovered during the process.
Can I change from a metal roof to a tile roof?
Converting metal to tiles is more complex and expensive because your roof structure likely wasn't designed for the additional weight. A structural engineer must assess your home first, and upgrades to rafters, ceiling joists, and potentially even wall frames may be required. This can add $5,000-$15,000 to the project before roofing begins. In many cases, particularly for older Queensland homes, the conversion isn't practical or cost-effective.
How often should metal and tile roofs be inspected?
We recommend annual professional inspections for both roof types, ideally before storm season (October-November). However, tile roofs benefit from biannual inspections—once before storm season and once after—to catch any damage before minor issues become major problems. Homeowners should also conduct visual inspections from ground level after any significant storm. Early detection of issues like cracked tiles, loose screws, or lifting ridge caps prevents expensive water damage repairs.
Do tile roofs require more cleaning than metal roofs?
Tile roofs in Queensland's humid climate are more prone to mould, lichen, and moss growth, requiring professional cleaning every 5-10 years (cost: $1,500-$4,000). Metal roofs need less frequent cleaning but benefit from annual washing to remove debris and salt deposits, particularly in coastal areas. This can often be done with a garden hose from ground level, though professional cleaning ($200-$400) is recommended for thorough maintenance and to avoid damaging protective coatings.
Which roof type handles hail better?
Large hail can damage both metal and tile roofs, but the damage manifests differently. Metal roofs dent from hail impact—cosmetically unpleasant but rarely causing immediate leaks unless dents are severe. Tiles can crack or break under hail impact, potentially causing immediate water penetration. Minor hail damage to metal is often left unrepaired (cosmetic only), while cracked tiles must be replaced. Insurance typically covers significant hail damage for both roof types.
Are there any colour restrictions for roofing in Queensland?
Some local council areas and body corporate regulations restrict roofing colours, particularly in heritage precincts or planned estates. The Building Code of Australia also influences colour choices through energy efficiency requirements—very dark roofs may require compensating insulation upgrades. Always check with your local council and any applicable body corporate before finalising colour selections. Most Colorbond and tile colours meet standard requirements, but confirmation avoids costly changes.
How do warranties compare between metal and tile roofing?
Colorbond offers warranties up to 30 years depending on profile, location, and exposure conditions—read the fine print regarding coastal proximity. Premium tile manufacturers offer 50-year warranties on the tiles themselves, though this doesn't cover labour, flashings, or pointing that may fail earlier. Critically, all manufacturer warranties require professional installation and regular maintenance. DIY installation or neglected maintenance can void even the most comprehensive warranty.
What's the environmental impact of metal versus tile roofs?
Both materials have environmental considerations. Metal roofing (particularly Colorbond) is 100% recyclable and often contains recycled content. It's lightweight, reducing transport emissions. Tiles require more energy to manufacture (especially terracotta with kiln firing) and their weight increases transport impacts. However, tiles last longer, potentially reducing lifecycle impacts. Concrete tiles can be crushed and recycled as aggregate. Neither material is clearly "greener"—both are acceptable choices from an environmental perspective.
Should I repair or replace my aging roof?
This depends on your roof's current condition, age, and your long-term plans. Generally, consider replacement when:
- Repairs would cost more than 30-40% of replacement cost
- Multiple areas show significant deterioration
- Your roof is beyond 75% of its expected lifespan
- You're planning other major renovations
- Structural issues underlie cosmetic problems
For metal roofs over 25 years or tile roofs over 40 years showing significant wear, we often recommend restoration or replacement rather than ongoing repairs. A professional inspection can provide specific guidance—at Radiant Roof Repairs, we always explain repair versus replacement options honestly, helping you make the right choice for your situation.
Conclusion
Choosing between metal and tile roofing isn't a matter of one being universally better than the other—it's about matching the right material to your specific home, budget, aesthetic preferences, and long-term plans.
Metal roofing offers practical advantages including lower initial costs, reduced maintenance requirements, superior storm resistance, and suitability for a wide range of architectural styles. It's often the pragmatic choice for Queensland homes, particularly along the cyclone-prone coast and for structures not designed for heavy tile loading.
Tile roofing provides exceptional longevity, classic aesthetics, superior thermal mass, and quieter performance during our dramatic summer storms. For traditional home styles and homeowners prioritising long-term value over initial savings, quality tiles remain an excellent investment.
Whichever direction you're leaning, the most important factor is quality installation by licensed, experienced professionals. A premium roofing material poorly installed will underperform and fail prematurely, while even mid-range materials expertly installed will protect your home for decades.
