We talk profiles (from classic corrugate to sleek tray and cost-smart trapezoidal), matte finishes that minimise “oil canning,” and simple steps for ongoing care, especially in “unwashed areas” that need periodic maintenance.We also put it in a New Zealand context. With local manufacturing at Glenbrook and real-world testing across thousands of exposure panels, New Zealand Steel designs for our coastal, humid, and high-UV conditions—and backs it with practical guidance on environmental zones and warranties. Paul touches on newer alloy technologies that extend durability, when aluminium-based options make sense right on the water, and how AXXIS® light-gauge steel framing can speed builds, stay straight, and keep projects moving when the weather doesn’t cooperate.Whether you’re replacing a tired roof, planning a new build, or weighing options in a coastal spot, this conversation will help you ask better questions, choose the right material for your site, and balance aesthetics, durability, and budget with confidence.You can also watch this episode by visiting TrendsProperty.com/podcast Hosted on Acast.
