Choosing Between Re-roofing or Roof Sealing Solutions

When it comes to addressing an aging roof, homeowners are commonly faced with two options: opt for a roof sealing solution or invest in a full re-roof. Both approaches have their pros and cons, but understanding the long-term implications of each can help you make the right choice for your home.

Roof sealing solutions and membranes may initially seem appealing due to their lower upfront cost, but these options come with significant limitations when compared to reroofing with COLORSTEEL®. Let’s explore the key factors to consider when deciding which solution is right for your home.

Security: Warranty and Protection

One of the first things to assess when comparing roof sealing and reroofing is the warranty that comes with each option. Roof sealing solutions generally offer waterproofing warranties of up to 10 years. While this may seem like a reasonable amount of time, it’s important to recognise that sealing is often more of a temporary solution.In contrast, reroofing with COLORSTEEL® comes with a warranty of up to 50 years for corrosion to perforation.
