Material and system choice impacts construction cost, durability, and maintenance over the station&#8217;s lifetime. The <a href=\"https:\/\/petrolgroup.pro\/en\/about\/\">Petrol Group team<\/a> specifies canopy structures for fuel retail projects across 16 countries.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Roofing system comparison<\/h2>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Insulated sandwich panel:<\/strong> most common in new stations \u2014 two steel faces with EPS or PUR core. Excellent thermal insulation, clean finish, fast installation. Cost: BRL 1,800-2,500\/m\u00b2 installed. Life: 20-30 years. <strong>Trapezoidal sheet:<\/strong> lower cost, simpler installation, no insulation. Cost: BRL 1,200-1,800\/m\u00b2. <strong>Standing seam (ziplock):<\/strong> premium system with concealed fixings \u2014 superior visual result for upmarket stations.
