Zigzag, Regency, or Ruvin? Choosing the Right COMET Roof for Your Home's Style

From the street, the roof is often the first thing people notice about a building. It shapes the whole character of a home, from sleek and modern to warm and classic.

COMET makes three metal roofing lines: Zigzag, Regency**, and Ruvin. All three are made with BlueScope steel and tested for corrosion resistance, color durability, weather resistance, and sound reduction. What sets them apart is their shape, their finish, and the kind of building each one suits best.

Here's how to find the one that fits your project.

Zigzag: Clean Lines for Modern Homes

Zigzag is a tile shaped metal roof designed by an architect with over 25 years of experience in architectural design and construction. Every curve and angle is engineered for a precise overlap and interlocking system that helps prevent leaks and water splash.

Profiles and Finishes

Zigzag comes in two profile families, **Grana-D** and **Inspiro**, each available for 28.5 cm and 38.5 cm batten spacing. You can choose from three finishes:

• Charcoal: sand coated, which helps dampen rain noise
• Textured: an orange peel like surface
• Doff: a smooth, matte painted finish

For projects that need even higher corrosion resistance, the Zigzag Premium Series uses AZ150 coated steel. Zigzag can also be used as wall cladding, so the roof and facade can share one cohesive material.

Best For

• Minimalist and modern homes, small to large
• Hotels, villas, and hospitality projects
• Commercial complexes and office buildings
• Public and institutional buildings

Regency: Longspan Efficiency With the Widest Color Choice

Regency is a longspan spandek roof. Panels are made to the length you order, which makes installation easier and more efficient, especially on larger roof areas.

Profiles and Finishes

Regency comes in three profiles: Duo, Elite 760, and Span 680. Like Zigzag, it's available in Charcoal (sand coated), Textured, and Doff finishes. Regency also has the widest color range of the three lines, including earthy options like Natural and a Bare Polos finish.

Best For

• Residential homes, small to large
• Projects working with a tighter budget
• Industrial projects, warehouses, and utility buildings
• Government buildings and education facilities

Ruvin: Dual Tone Depth and Character

Ruvin stands out for its Dual Tone color technology. Two tones work together on each sand coated panel, adding depth and dimension that gives the roof a refined, textured look from a distance.

Profiles and Finishes

Ruvin shares the same three profiles as Regency: Duo, Elite 760, and Span 680, in 200 cm panels. Every Ruvin panel is sand coated, and it comes in dual tone Maroon and Green.

Best For

Ruvin works across the same range of buildings as Regency, from homes to schools and warehouses, but brings more visual character. It's a great fit for:

• Homes that want a roof with more depth and warmth
• Residential projects where the roof is a key design feature
• Public and education buildings that want a more distinctive look

Quick Guide: Which One Fits You?

• Modern minimalist home, villa, or matching roof and facade? Choose Zigzag.
• Large roof area, efficient installation, or the most color options? Choose Regency.
• Want character and depth with sand coated comfort? Choose Ruvin.

Need Extra Protection?

If your building is near the coast, in a very humid area, exposed to industrial chemicals, or in the mountains, you can add Durastone to your COMET roof. Durastone adds an anti corrosion coating to the underside of the panel in the same color as the top, and comes with a 10 year warranty.
