1. Galvanized steel: It is the choice of most customers at present, because it is more economical, and the material surface is galvanized so that the roof panels produced have good corrosion resistance.
2. Zincalume material: It is a combination of zinc and aluminum, and its corrosion resistance is better than galvanized steel.
3. Colorbond material: It is a steel material with various colors coated on the surface. Customers can choose the color they need according to their preferences.
4. Aluminum: It has some characteristics, such as: light weight, corrosion resistance, electrical conductivity and thermal conductivity.

Types of Standing Seam Roofing
There are many types of standing seam metal roof, the most common ones are: YX300, YX400, YX500, etc.
These three types of standing seam metal roof are all hidden fixed profiles with unique double interlocking side overlaps. They are metal roof panels that can be installed very quickly. YX300 means that the coverage width of the profile is 300 mm. This relatively small width makes it light and more suitable for residential or light commercial roofs, and even many wall panels.
YX400 and Y500 are similar to YX300. The larger the number, the wider the width, and the coverage width is 400/500 mm. This wider panel will be installed faster, which is conducive to saving construction costs. Wide-type profiles are more suitable for commercial and industrial roof applications, and can achieve greater benefits for customers.
