Aluminium Roofing & Cladding

Aluminium is a lightweight yet highly durable architectural metal, widely used across roofing, façade cladding and bespoke fabrication. From standing seam roofing on modern homes and extensions to vertical and horizontal cladding systems, it delivers clean architectural lines and long-term weather resistance.

 

It is equally suited to dormers, entrance canopies and flat roof systems, as well as custom fabrications including fascia, soffits, trims and flashings. Excellent corrosion resistance makes aluminium particularly well suited to Ireland’s coastal and exposed environments.

Aluminium Roofing & Cladding FAQs

  • Aluminium roofing costs in Ireland depend on design, detailing, and project size.

     

    As a general guide, aluminium standing seam roofing typically ranges from €200–€300+ per m².

     

    For a full breakdown of pricing and factors affecting cost, see our guide on metal roofing cost in Ireland.

  • High-quality architectural aluminium systems use durable powder-coated finishes designed to resist fading.

     

    Over time, some subtle weathering may occur, but premium coatings maintain colour consistency far better than lower-grade materials.

  • Aluminium and zinc are both high-performance materials, but they offer different characteristics.

    ​

    Aluminium provides a wide range of colour finishes and is lightweight, while zinc develops a natural patina and typically offers a longer lifespan.

     

    The best choice depends on the design, budget, and architectural intent of the project.

  • Yes.

     

    Aluminium standing seam systems can be installed on low-pitch roofs, typically from around 3°, depending on system design and detailing.

     

    This makes aluminium suitable for extensions, modern homes, and flat-to-pitched transitions.

  • No.

    When installed as part of a properly insulated roofing system, aluminium roofing performs similarly to other materials and does not produce excessive internal noise during rainfall.

  • Yes.

     

    Aluminium is widely used for both roofing and façade cladding in Ireland.

    ​

    Its lightweight properties, durability, and wide range of RAL colour finishes make it suitable for a variety of architectural applications, including roofs, walls, dormers, and extensions.

    ​

    Using aluminium across both roofing and cladding allows for a consistent, seamless design with clean detailing.

  • Aluminium roofing and cladding systems are available in a wide range of finishes, including:

    • Powder-coated RAL colours
    • Matte and satin finishes
    • Textured and metallic coatings

     

    Popular colours such as RAL 7016 anthracite grey are widely used on modern homes and extensions in Ireland.

     

    These finishes are designed to provide long-term colour stability and resistance to weathering.
