Hi Tony, nothing whatsoever to do with Austin Sevens, but that's interesting your roofing material, you get so used to seeing UK dwellings on TV etc. with non-metal roofing.
In this country that would be called trapezoidal section, or smooth ribline section [depending on manufacturer], I reckon it looks better than the traditional corrugated section you so often see here.
We've just done our house roof in the Colorsteel MAXX version which is baked painted finish over zincalume.
Couldn't do 0.75 so had to settle for 0.55 as this was the thickest available.
Its fastened with self-drilling screws rather than the traditional nails.
The price here is pretty scary too, I knew what was coming but I still had to have a cup of tea and a bit of a lie down when I saw the invoice. But we live about 800m from the sea, so we wanted the biggest/best bang for the buck.
Got 35 years out of the original roof which was just plain zinc coated steel (repainted it three times) and it might've lasted another 5, so I think this one will do.
