Galvanised metal roofing is light-weight compared to tiles - the
colour-bonding is a process that binds colour (paint) to the galvinised
metal so it doesn't chip or peel. I'm not sure what the actual metal is -
we refer to it colloquially as gal-iron or tin roofing. Maybe some other
Ozzie with more knowledge can fill you in.
