The profiled metal roof is Finland's most common roof type. The corrugated or trapezoidal profile gives the roof a familiar and traditional appearance. Profiled metal is durable, affordable, and excellently suited to Finnish weather conditions.

Why is the profiled metal roof so popular?
A profiled metal roof combines affordability and durability. The corrugated profile makes the sheet rigid and strong, so it supports snow loads well. Profiled metal is available in dozens of colours, and modern coating technology ensures colour durability for decades. Installation is fast and straightforward.

The price of a profiled metal roof is typically 40–60 €/m². The price is affected by sheet thickness, coating quality, roof shape, and number of penetrations. Polyester-coated metal is the most affordable; PVDF and PUR coatings are more durable but more expensive.

Profiled metal is fastened with screws, standing seam with mechanical seams without screw holes. Standing seam is a tighter and more durable solution, but profiled metal is more affordable and well-suited to steep roof pitches where watertightness is not as critical as on low-pitch roofs.
Profiled metal or standing seam?
A profiled metal roof requires little maintenance. The most important thing is to check the condition of screw fastenings every 10–15 years — sealants can dry out and screws can loosen. We also recommend gutter cleaning and moss removal as needed. A professional inspection ensures a long roof lifespan.
