a very good site for resources to ask questions about fire insurance for house owner..

as far as i know alluminium roof doesn't affect fire insurance policy. alluminium is one the common material used for roof , steel is another common one. Metal roofing bcoz of its non-combustible , is safer to use .

it's not aluminum nor zinc

it's ZINCALUME - zinc and aluminum alloy

and either material is common roofing material. it's been used for ages, besides the ubiquitos concrete / clay tiles

i know cos i design roofs - engineering side, not architecture

thanks for the ZIncalume term!!! i was scratching my head for the term of this combi.... laugh.gif
