Roofing contractor WinWave, which specialises in roofing industrial buildings using ZINCALUME® steel or COLORBOND® steel, recently completed roofing a huge factory in Sydney's West for paper distribution company Bracknells.

The building in Wetherill Park is 180 metres long, 50 metres wide and used over 9000 square metres of ZINCALUME® steel on its roof.

"We can roof this type of building within around four weeks using ZINCALUME® steel," said WinWave managing director Jurgen Lenz.

"We specialise in roofing industrial buildings, which are usually clad in steel because of the ease of use and speed of construction."

Developed by BHP Steel, ZINCALUME® steel offers a lightweight, strong and durable cladding solution that is ideal for large scale industrial buildings.

Local builder Satmell has been constructing large industrial warehouses since 1980 and has watched the growing ascendancy of steel roofs.

"Over the last 20 years I have seen the Wetherill Park/Smithfield area grow into the largest industrial area in the Southern Hemisphere," said Satmell owner Vince Mesiti.

"We have built probably nearly 50 factories in Wetherill Park alone over that time and steel roofs are standard because of the large spans achieved and speed of erection and durability."
