The use of natural uncoated roof sheeting gives the appearance of the roof finish being white. This is a cost effective alternative to a colour coated finish. The sheeting had an AZ coating which is a longer lasting material. Please read the post on which material is best suited for your roof. Galvanized or AZ - Which to choose?
