Metal roofs are the most common and inexpensive roofing choice for the majority of Philippine households and commercial buildings. The most common is the unpainted corrugated G.I. (galvanized iron) sheet roofing.
GI sheet roofs are the least expensive in terms of cost, and the required support structure is also very affordable however if not painted properly GI sheet roofing will corrode and deteriorate the fastest. Repairs are very easy and can be easily performed by a homeowner.
Prepainted long-span metal roofing resist corrosion better than unpainted G.I. sheet roofing. Local manufacturers even warrant their prepainted roofing products last up to 15 years against corrosion.
Prepainted long-span metal roofing perform better against leaks, being cut according to the length required, thus avoiding horizontal overlapping, which is one of the causes of leaks.
In other countries residential metal roofs utilize reflective pigment technology, which results in overall home energy efficiency, and lower utility bills.
In the Philippines this is cheaply and easily done by painting GI sheet roofing with white roof paint with high gloss, or choosing white or light colored prepainted long-span metal roofing.
