Aluminium smelter, ALUWORKS, is discouraging the use of Alu-zinc as roofing sheets since it cannot stand the test of time. Managing Director, Kwasi Okoh says consumers are being ripped off by companies which produce roofing sheets from Alu-zinc. Some building contractors have resorted to using Alu-zinch for their roofs. But Mr. Okoh told XYZ BUSINESS that those who go for these sub-standard materials do so at their own risk He said �our law in Ghana regulated by Standards Board says no import of metal sheets should come near less than point four of millimeter.� Mr. Okoh said roofing sheets are supposed to last long and therefore anything that goes below point-four of the Alu-zinc could be detrimental to homeowners.
