Roofrite Northland – Cladding

Covering your external walls and roof, cladding plays an important role in the structural integrity of a building. Older buildings often suffer from leakages because moisture was getting between the cladding and the inside walls. Metal cladding has become more popular throughout New Zealand over the last few years because it protects your home while also giving you the opportunity to create stunning exterior designs.

Here at Roofrite, we specialize in long-run metal roofing and wall cladding for residential, commercial and industrial buildings using genuine Colorsteel. Not only is steel fully recyclable, posing an excellent option for those that are environmentally conscious. Steel is also versatile when it comes to colours and profiles, and lasts up to 40 years or longer with the right maintenance. By law, cladding in New Zealand only has to have a lifespan of at least 15 years, making steel a great choice in terms of durability. It is also easy to clean and generally less maintenance than other cladding materials.

Furthermore, Colorsteel has been designed specifically to withstand New Zealand weather conditions including harsh sun and the impact of UV rays, heavy rain and gusty winds. The entire colour range is inspired by natural landscapes, from alpine mountains to sandy beaches and native flora and fauna.

Whether you are renovating an existing home or office or are building a new one, Roofrite Northland is your one-stop shop for all your roofing and cladding needs. We have a large variety of cladding styles and shapes available that will create the look of your choice, from modern to timeless or classic.

We can also pair new cladding with existing one if you are building an add-on, even if the old cladding is made from different building materials. Our range of Colorsteel cladding easily complements other styles, saving money on costly reclads if they are not absolutely necessary.

Maintenance

Metal cladding requires a lot less maintenance compared to other cladding materials. However, you will still need to look after it to fully enjoy its benefits. With the right maintenance, the lifespan of your metal cladding can will be significantly extended. We recommend professional cleaning at least once per year, more often if you live close to the sea and are exposed to harsher elements.

Reclad or repair?

We offer extensive roof and cladding repair services throughout Northland. For minor damages, a simple target repair of the affected cladding area could be the solution. We can also do a partial reclad if the damage is contained to an area.

However, depending on the state of your cladding, it may be necessary to replace it completely, especially if you want to completely change the existing look of your property or if your building is not up to the legal standards outlined in the New Zealand Building Code. Doing a full reclad is also advisable if you have unexplained leakages, as it will allow us to identify and repair any damage to the general framing and linings.

If you think your cladding has lost its functionality, is visibly damaged or you want to give your home or office a make-over, contact Roofrite Northland today. We will assess the situation and discuss the best option for you. You can also get in touch with us to schedule your next maintenance appointment to avoid costly repairs in the future.
