Heritage Gal Roofing project Yarraville

True Blue Roofing are currently working on this heritage residence in Yarraville, Victoria.  Yarraville is an inner-western suburb of Melbourne, Australia, 6kms from Melbourne’s CBD.  This magnificent home has some stunning period features and is currently undergoing a major renovation which includes extension at the rear of the home.

We were called in to install a new roof to the extension as well as complete a roof replacement on the original part of the home.   As this project is currently a work in progress we have some ‘before’ photos in the gallery below…

Stay tuned for the updated gallery when this heritage roofing project is complete!  Also keep in mind that the Gal is super shiny when installed, but will eventually dull off and not be so glary!

Heritage Gal comes in a range of different Zinc coatings… including Z275, Z450 and Z600, the number reference refers to the number of grams per square metre of zinc in the material. The thicker the zinc coating, the longer the lifespan of the galvanised materials.

Choosing Heritage Gal when replacing a roof on a period home is a wise choice as the protective zinc coating prevents the steel from rusting. The corrosion resistance of zinc is considerably greater than that of iron or steel. If the coating were to be scratched, the exposed steel can still be protected from rusting by the zinc remaining in the material.

True Blue Roofing have been servicing Yarraville and surrounding suburbs in all aspects of metal roofing and architectural wall cladding for over 11 years.  We are also able to supply heritage roofing materials should you require the supply of materials only.  If you are looking to renovate a heritage home and you need a new roof, you should contact us today.
