In 100 BC, about the time of Julius Caesar, Romans were developing a revolutionary plumbing system. The technology and skills extrapolated from this new development of sheet metal work found their way to varied applications from food storage to the metal roof we recognize today. Romans found that metal, correctly installed, would keep roofs leak proof for hundreds of years; hence maintenance was also kept to a minimum. No longer did workers need to scale the treacherous heights of the buildings as with past frequency. The technique of the metal roof spread like wildfire throughout Europe, and architecture has been influenced ever since.
If you were to be cast away on a lonely island, or stuck in the middle of the jungle, or lost in the Arctic; or just out camping for that matter, the first thing you would build would be a roof. If that roof leaks or is easily compromised, your comfort and perhaps your very survival are in jeopardy.
In Germany, “The Land of Regulations” where we are from, the roof is easily the most regulated part of the building, for the simple reason that it protects everything else. German inspectors don’t care if you cover your roof with plastic bags…so long as it is less than 10 square feet (1 square meter) in size. Any roof above that size is highly scrutinized. A fine metal roof, in particular, is meant to last for generations.
