FIRE RESISTANCE

The fire resistant solution from Petra Lucy Roofing – A safe roofing solution must be extremely fire resistant to prevent hot embers from external fires spreading. The ideal roof will be lightweight yet strong and securely interlocked to prevent it collapsing if an interior fire becomes established.

Petra Lucy Roofing systems are made from sheet steel coated with stone chips. Metal roofs are no more vulnerable to a lightning strike than any other non-metallic substrate. Indeed, the likelihood of a lightning strike is determined only by the height and location of the building.

FIRE RESISTANCE

EARTHQUAKES

Earthquakes are tragic reminders of the power of nature. Petra Lucy Roofs form strong earthquake resistant structure and its lightweight tiles reduce damage and injury. They have been tested and proven under a wide range of extreme natural conditions.

EARTH QUAKES

STORMS AND VIOLENT WIND

Extreme weather — including violent storms, strong winds up to hurricane strength, and heavy rain — can cause widespread devastation.

SURPRISINGLY AFFORDABLE

The overall cost of a Petra Lucy pressed steel roof is similar to the cost of a long-run iron roof and usually less expensive than a concrete tile roof. Petra Lucy roofs are likely to be less expensive than any other type of roof because it won’t require special materials or fastenings to cope with extreme conditions.

Petra Lucy roof tiles undergo strict testing, part of which is for the quality of run-off water from our roofs. In tests, Petra Lucy roof tiles are proven not to add anything to the water that falls onto the roof, and in fact exceed the standards set by the World Health Organisation for drinking water. In short, the water that falls onto the roof is exactly the same as is collected by your rainwater guttering system. However, before use, we recommend that the water should be filtered as leaves and twigs etc. can make their way into your tanks. If used for domestic use, the water should probably be boiled first.
