Hi All,
I asked a while back about considerations when raising the pitch on a
garage / workshop roof (to make more of a 'loft' / storage space) and
I'm now, after seeing some in use, considering that pre coloured galv
steel roofing you often see in the bigger profiles cladding the walls
and roofs of the sheds we all know and love. ;-)
I'm told it would be much noisier than the existing corrugated cement
fibre
corrie is relatively noisy in the rain, but I dont see it being an
issue.
It can be...when you're on the phone.
It also tends to amplify the intensity of the rain...it sounds like
Armageddon has arrived early, and when you open the shed door to take
a peek at the spectacle you find it's just a light shower.
As for hail, well, that just gets silly.
Regards,
Lol. Seriously though, its nothing like that bad. In fact it isnt bad
at all. The sound gives early warning of rain, which is handy to
enable the quick dash to the house before it starts raining properly.

no, but I never found them a problem for British weather. Only in a
storm does it start getting noisy.
OTOH if the OP can get fibre cement for less, I would. No
condensation problem, less heat loss, less heat gain, rustproof
forever, no contest really.
