Metal Deck Roof Price in Malaysia (With PU Foam)
A PU-foam insulated metal deck roof in Malaysia costs RM14 to RM22 per sq ft in 2026, excluding truss work, with a 10-year warranty. For a typical 1,400 sq ft terrace roof that is about RM19,600 to RM30,800. Roofs steeper than 30 degrees add about 15%. Exact price is confirmed after a free inspection.
What you actually get for RM14 to RM22 per sq ft
When homeowners ask for a metal deck roof price, they usually mean replacing old concrete or clay tiles with insulated metal deck sheets. That is the job we price here. Our rate covers removing the old tiles, installing the profiled metal deck with a PU foam layer bonded underneath and an aluminium foil facing, plus ridge capping and flashing.
The rate excludes truss work. If termites or rot have damaged the timber truss, that is quoted separately after a structural check, because nobody can see inside a truss from the ground.
- Removal and disposal of existing roof tiles
- Profiled metal deck sheets with PU foam and aluminium foil underside
- Ridge capping, side flashing and party-wall flashing
- Fixing with sealed screws
- 10-year warranty
Why RM14 and not RM22? What moves the price
Two houses of the same size can sit at opposite ends of the range. These are the factors our technician checks during the inspection:
| Factor | Pushes price toward RM14 | Pushes price toward RM22 |
|---|---|---|
| Roof shape | Simple gable, few hips | Many hips, valleys and dormers |
| Access | Open lane, easy scaffolding | Narrow back lane, over neighbour's porch |
| Flashing | Few wall junctions | Long party walls and parapets |
| Height | Single-storey | Double or triple-storey, extra safety set-up |
| Pitch | Below 30 degrees | Above 30 degrees adds about 15% on top |

| House | Roof area | Rate | Indicative total |
|---|---|---|---|
| Single-storey terrace, 20 x 60 ft | About 1,100 sq ft | RM14 - RM22 | RM15,400 - RM24,200 |
| Double-storey terrace, 20 x 70 ft | About 1,400 sq ft | RM14 - RM22 | RM19,600 - RM30,800 |
| Same terrace, pitch above 30 degrees | About 1,400 sq ft | + about 15% | RM22,540 - RM35,420 |
| Semi-D, 2,200 sq ft roof | About 2,200 sq ft | RM14 - RM22 | RM30,800 - RM48,400 |
Metal deck roof with PU foam vs plain metal deck
A bare metal sheet in Malaysian sun turns the roof space into an oven and drums loudly in an afternoon storm. The PU foam layer is what makes metal deck livable on a home. It reduces heat coming through the roof and softens rain noise, and the foil face reflects radiant heat back out.
That is why we only quote PU-foam insulated metal deck for houses. Plain uninsulated metal sheet belongs on a store or a factory canopy, not above bedrooms. If your house already has metal roofing that is hot or noisy, see roof heat and sound insulation before you replace it.
How it compares with other roofing options
Metal deck sits in the middle of the re-roofing price ladder. For the same 1,400 sq ft roof:
| Option | Rate per sq ft | 1,400 sq ft total | Warranty |
|---|---|---|---|
| Concrete tiles like-for-like | RM9 - RM15 | RM12,600 - RM21,000 | Quoted |
| PU-foam metal deck | RM14 - RM22 | RM19,600 - RM30,800 | 10 years |
| Stone-coated interlocking tiles | RM18.50 - RM25 | RM25,900 - RM35,000 | 20 years |
Common add-ons and what they cost
Most terrace re-roofs are a good time to fix the items around the roof too, because the scaffolding is already up.
- Gutters: stainless steel or aluminium at RM35 to RM90 per ft. About 40 ft front and back on a 20 ft terrace is RM1,400 to RM3,600. See gutter replacement.
- Turbine ventilators: 2 pcs about RM3,400, 3 pcs about RM4,800.
- Truss repair or strengthening: quoted after inspection. See roof truss repair.
- Car porch flat slab waterproofing: RM7 to RM9 per sq ft.
How long does a metal deck re-roof take?
On a standard double-storey terrace, the roof is opened and closed section by section so the house is never left exposed overnight. Duration depends on roof size, weather and any truss repairs found once the tiles come off, and our site team confirms the schedule in the quotation. In the monsoon months we plan around afternoon storms, starting early and covering open sections before the rain.

Frequently asked questions
How much is a metal deck roof with PU foam in Malaysia?
A PU-foam insulated metal deck roof costs RM14 to RM22 per sq ft in 2026, excluding truss work, with a 10-year warranty. A 1,400 sq ft double-storey terrace roof works out to about RM19,600 to RM30,800. Pitches above 30 degrees add about 15%. Your exact price is confirmed after a free inspection.
Is metal deck cheaper than roof tiles?
It is cheaper than stone-coated tiles, which run RM18.50 to RM25 per sq ft, but usually more than like-for-like concrete tiles at RM9 to RM15 per sq ft. Many owners pick metal deck because it is lighter on old timber trusses and the PU foam layer improves comfort in the roof space.
Does the metal deck price include the roof truss?
No. Our RM14 to RM22 per sq ft rate excludes truss work. Once the old tiles are removed, our technician checks the timber for termite and rot damage. Any strengthening or replacement is quoted separately after a structural check, so you only pay for truss work that is actually needed.
Is metal deck roof hot in Malaysia?
Plain uninsulated metal sheet is hot. A PU-foam insulated metal deck is different: the foam layer and aluminium foil underside reduce heat entering the roof space. That is why we only install PU-foam metal deck on homes. Add turbine ventilators if the roof space has poor airflow.
Can I install metal deck on part of my roof only?
Yes, for example over a rear extension or kitchen. But the junction where metal deck meets old tiles is a common leak point, so it needs proper flashing. Our technician will advise during the inspection whether a partial or full re-roof makes more sense for your house.
