PU Foam Metal Deck Roof in Malaysia: Cooler, Quieter, Leak-Free
A PU foam insulated metal deck roof in Malaysia costs about RM14 to RM22 per sq ft in 2026, excluding truss work, with a 10-year warranty. It replaces old tiles or bare zinc with interlocking metal sheets backed by PU foam and aluminium foil, cutting heat and rain noise. Our technician inspects and quotes for free.

Metal roofing in Malaysia has moved on from the thin zinc sheets that made kitchens and car porches unbearably hot and deafening in a storm. A PU metal deck roof uses long-span metal deck sheets with a layer of polyurethane foam and aluminium foil bonded underneath. The metal sheds heavy rain quickly, while the foam layer reduces heat coming through and dampens the sound of rain.
Homeowners usually switch to an insulated metal roof when an old tiled roof keeps leaking, when a back extension or porch under zinc is too hot to use, or when timber trusses need lighter roofing. Our CIDB-registered installation partner installs PU foam metal deck roofs across the Klang Valley, Johor, Penang, Perak, Kedah, Negeri Sembilan, Melaka and Kuantan.

Signs it is time to change to a metal deck roof
- Old concrete or clay tiles leaking in several places, with broken tiles every time someone goes up
- Rusted zinc sheets, loose screws and leaks along the sheet laps
- A back kitchen, porch or extension that is too hot or too noisy under bare zinc
- Sagging or termite-damaged timber trusses that would benefit from a lighter roof
- Repeated leaks at valleys and ridges that patch jobs no longer hold
How we install a PU metal deck roof
A metal deck re-roof is a structured job, and the sequence matters for a dry, long-lasting result.
- Inspection and measurement, including a check of the truss and battens
- Truss repair or strengthening if needed, quoted separately after a structural check
- Removal of old tiles or sheets, protecting the ceiling and the home below
- Installation of PU foam metal deck sheets with correct overlaps and fixings
- New ridge, flashing and gutter connections, sealed at the party wall or parapet
- Clean-up, final check and handover with the 10-year warranty
Metal roof options: PU foam deck, plain zinc or stone-coated
Not every metal roof performs the same in Malaysian heat. Plain zinc is cheap but hot and loud. A PU foam metal deck adds insulation and rain-noise reduction. Stone-coated metal tiles look like a traditional tiled roof and carry a longer warranty; see roof replacement.
Metal deck awnings and car porches can use the same PU foam sheets, which keeps the space under them noticeably cooler than bare zinc.
- PU foam metal deck: insulated, quieter, suits houses, extensions and porches
- Plain metal or zinc sheet: lowest upfront cost, but hot and noisy without insulation
- Stone-coated interlocking tiles: tiled look, 20-year warranty
- Add-ons: roof ventilators and insulation, new gutters
Metal deck roof price in Malaysia (2026 indicative)
PU foam metal deck roofs are priced per square foot of roof area, excluding any truss work. Steep roofs above 30 degrees add about 15% for wastage and safety. The exact price is confirmed after the free inspection, as roof design, pitch, access and truss condition all affect the final quote.

When to act and how to care for a metal roof
If your tiled roof leaks every monsoon season, re-roofing before the next one is usually cheaper than another round of patching plus ceiling repairs. Plan works for a drier period where possible, since the roof is opened up during installation.
Metal deck roofs need little maintenance. Keep gutters and valleys clear, avoid walking on the sheets without boards, and have any new aircond, solar or satellite fixing properly sealed.

Frequently asked questions
How much does a metal deck roof cost in Malaysia?
A PU foam insulated metal deck roof costs about RM14 to RM22 per sq ft in 2026, excluding truss work, with a 10-year warranty. For a 1,400 sq ft terrace roof, that is roughly RM19,600 to RM30,800 before any truss repairs. The exact price is confirmed after our free inspection based on pitch, access and roof design.
Is a metal roof hot in Malaysia?
A bare zinc or metal roof without insulation does get very hot under the Malaysian sun. A PU foam metal deck roof has a foam and aluminium foil layer bonded underneath, which reduces the heat passing into the roof space. Many homeowners also add roof ventilators to push hot air out of the roof void.
Is a metal deck roof noisy when it rains?
Plain metal sheets are noisy in heavy rain. The PU foam layer on an insulated metal deck roof dampens much of that drumming, which is why it is popular for houses, kitchens and porches. It will not be completely silent in a tropical downpour, but it is far quieter than bare zinc.
Can I change my tiled roof to a metal deck roof?
Yes. Replacing old concrete or clay tiles with a PU foam metal deck roof is one of the most common re-roofing jobs we do. Metal decking is lighter than tiles, which can help older timber trusses. On terraces, our technician also checks how the new roof meets the neighbour's roof and party wall.
How long does metal deck roof installation take?
A typical double-storey terrace re-roof takes about three to seven working days, depending on roof size, truss repairs and weather. Car porches and extensions are faster. The roof is opened during the job, so our site team works section by section and covers exposed areas at the end of each day.
What warranty do I get for a metal deck roof?
PU foam insulated metal deck roofs installed by our site teams carry a 10-year warranty. Truss work is quoted and assessed separately after a structural check. The warranty is issued when the job is completed and the balance is paid.
Does a metal deck roof need a new truss?
Not always. Because metal decking is lighter than concrete tiles, many existing trusses can carry it. However, termite-damaged, sagging or rotted timber must be repaired first. Truss strengthening or replacement is quoted after a structural check during inspection; see our roof truss service for details.
Can I DIY a zinc or metal deck roof?
We do not recommend it. Roof work at height is dangerous, and leaks on metal roofs usually come from wrong overlaps, wrong fixings or poorly sealed flashing, which take experience to get right. A professional install also comes with a 10-year warranty, which DIY work cannot offer.
