I have a tile roof with no attic. The only proble I have had is when I wanted to install ceiling fans and the only way was to lift off most of the roof sheets so I got fans installed with lights fitted on the unit. This was not what I wanted really. Like everyone has been saying, it is not a roof issue really just a lack of an attic problem.

I seem to remember reading somewhere that corrugated iron was invented in Astraya - the first roof sheets were flat zinc sheets laid like large slates imported from the old country - but I could be wrong.

one more thing about steel roofing is that it gives up its heat quickly.
Nothing like living in a house that has a roof still at 40 degress at 11 O'clock at night.
I can attest to this, ripped the old super six and tiled roof off and have a lovely rivergum roof and crawling up in the roof void after a hot day, is so much more bareable with steel.
JRWe could learn a lot from crayons: some are sharp, some are pretty, some are dull, some have weird names, and all are different colours....
but they all exist very nicely in the same box.

I wouldn't have anything but a tin roof. We live in the Blue Mountains in NSW. We have a tin roof with sarking under it and R4 insulation on top of the ceiling. The rain isn't too loud, neither are the possums. If you didn't have insulation it would be deafening.

Tin roof is all i will have with snow during winter and fire storms through summer plus i'm on tank water it's the only roof that will keep all the weather out no matter what mother nature throws at it (the rest of the house need a bit of work though)
