Understanding Alu Zinc Roofing Sheets in Nigeria: Types, Uses & Prices
At God First Roofing System, we know that choosing the right roofing material can be overwhelming—especially with so many options out there. That’s why we’re here to make it easier for you.
One roofing option that has become quite popular in Nigeria is Alu Zinc sheets. They’re affordable, versatile, and widely available. But not all Alu Zinc roofing sheets are the same, and picking the wrong one—especially for your home—can lead to regrets down the road.
In this post, we’ll break down the two types of Alu Zinc sheets commonly used in Nigeria, how they’re best applied, and their current prices so you can make the best decision for your project.
So, What Exactly Is Alu Zinc?
Alu Zinc roofing sheets are made from a blend of aluminum and zinc. They’re part of the lightweight metal roofing family, which makes them budget-friendly, but their strength and longevity depend heavily on the thickness and how they’re made.
The Two Main Types of Alu Zinc Roofing Sheets
When it comes to Alu Zinc, there are two key types to be aware of:
1. Bundle-Type Alu Zinc Sheets – 0.15mm Thick
- Size: 8 feet long by 2 feet wide
- Thickness: 0.15mm
- Packaging: Sold in bundles of 15 sheets
- Price: ₦50,000 per bundle
- Best For: Temporary structures like sheds or market stalls
These are the super-lightweight sheets. While they’re easy on the wallet, they’re not built to last, especially for residential buildings. Strong winds? They won’t stand a chance. So if you’re roofing a home, this option isn’t ideal.
2. Corrugated Alu Zinc Sheets – 0.4mm Thick
- Sold by: Square meter (sqm)
- Thickness: 0.4mm
- Price: ₦4,300 per sqm
- Best For: Residential and permanent buildings
This is a much better option for homes. It’s stronger, more reliable, and gives better structural support. While it may not be as rust-resistant as full aluminum roofing, it offers a solid middle ground—affordable and reasonably durable. At God First Roofing System, we produce this type directly in our factory, so you can trust the quality.
Things to Keep in Mind When Choosing Alu Zinc
Before you make a purchase, here are a few important things to consider:
- Durability: Thickness matters. The 0.4mm type will last much longer than the thinner 0.15mm version.
- Rusting: Alu Zinc can rust over time. If you’re in a coastal or humid area, you may want to plan for that or consider rust-proof alternatives like pure aluminum.
- Building Type: If you’re roofing a home, avoid using the bundle-type Alu Zinc. It’s too light and not strong enough for residential use.
