Each material has unique traits that impact design and installation considerations such as expansion, patination, weathering, and detailing. Understanding these early in the process helps avoid unnecessary costs later.
CHOOSING THE RIGHT METAL FOR TRADITIONAL ROOFING AND CLADDING CAN FEEL OVERWHELMING.
A visit to a dedicated showroom, like METAL SOLUTIONS in Bolton, allows you to see materials, colours, and profiles firsthand— helping you make informed decisions before committing to a plan. Beyond materials, care and support is key. Contractors need a supplier who understands their trade, oĪering not just stock, but technical advice, warranties, and scheduled delivery.
Metal Solutions provides exactly that, guiding you from product selection to site delivery with unrivalled care, support, and expertise. Metal Solutions also operates roofing-tools.com, the UK’s largest online shop for specialist hard metal roofing tools and machinery.
If you need fabrication, Metal Solutions manufactures multiple systems, shingles, Ħashings, colour-matched rainwater goods and custom components—ready for you to install on site, saving time and removing the need for on-site fabrication.
