Lindab vs Catnic- Steel Standing Seam Roofing

[BeckC]

What are people’s thoughts on Catnic & Lindab standing seam roofing? Which is the better option out of the two? 

We are currently working on our Class Q self build, and looking at standing seam roofing options. Lindab and Catnic have proven to be the most affordable options for us, and offer the longer warranty with their roof coatings. However, I was wondering what everyone’s experiences have been. We are approximately 1mile away from the North Cornwall coast, so longevity and durability is incredibly important to us and our self build mortgage.

Did you favour a particular brand for steel standing seam, and why? Did you find a particular roof coating was better than other coatings?

I did some very rough analysis 

I asked for large samples of 3-4 manufacturers, 1 wouldn’t send it so they got dumped

the others I chucked on my driveway way and proceeded to walk on them every time I came home and parked the car. 
I did this for 2 months and checked the damage, I discounted one I didn’t like and got quotes from the other 2. 
 

I didn’t pick the cheapest but went with what I thought was a good product with good people to deal with.

I bought Lindab products for decades because of the quality. So I'm a good referee but also biased.

Cladding, gutters, modular buildings.

I was shown round their ducting factory. Stunningly hitech.

 

I didn't know catnic made cladding so no comment.
