The Roofing Store Christchurch is the local branch of a New Zealand-wide supplier of steel roofing and cladding, serving roofers, builders and homeowners across residential and commercial projects. The branch itself is built to showcase the company's own products, combining long-run and architectural cladding options with TRS 5 cladding in Vitor+ Gull Grey on the warehouse and Lux Corten Dark cladding on the office, using interlocking panels.
The Roofing Store operates under parent company Kiwi Steel Holdings, drawing on Kiwi Steel's 35 years of experience supplying steel, and works alongside sister companies including Archtech. Its steel is imported from iron ore, described by the company as a purer, more cost-efficient form of iron offering more consistent thickness tolerances and finish.
The Christchurch branch, like the company's other branches nationwide, offers design support for choosing profiles suited to New Zealand conditions, consistent supply of KiwiColour steel profiles, and branch-based logistics and trade-focused service to help keep building projects on schedule.

The Christchurch branch itself doubles as a showcase for the company's product range, combining long-run and architectural cladding options. The warehouse uses TRS 5 cladding in Vitor+ Gull Grey, while the office is finished in Lux Corten Dark cladding using interlocking panels — a practical demonstration of the mixed finishes the company supplies to customers.
The Roofing Store operates under parent company Kiwi Steel Holdings, drawing on Kiwi Steel's 35 years of experience supplying steel, and works alongside sister companies including Archtech. The company imports steel manufactured from iron ore, which it describes as a purer form of iron that is more cost-efficient to produce and offers more consistent thickness tolerances — aimed at delivering a more consistent finish and performance.
The product range covers both long-run and architectural profiles. Long-run options include TRS Corrugate, TRS 5, TRS 6 and TRS 9, with TRS 5 roofing notably used on a beachfront home for its coastal durability. On the architectural side, the range includes the TRS Interlocking Panel, TRS Weatherboard, TRS Standing Seam, TRS Super Seam and TRS Flat Lock Panel — profiles that have appeared on projects ranging from residential homes to commercial buildings, a school, and a hotel.
Beyond roofing and cladding profiles, the company also supplies ventilation products, rainwater products, roofing and cladding tools, and general accessories to round out a project.
Customers can choose from a range of coatings and finishes, including Vitor+, Vitor+ZX and Vitor+MG, the Lux range — which includes finishes that replicate wood, stone, corten and fabric — and Euramax coated aluminium. These options let customers match a build's look while keeping the strength and durability of steel underneath.
The company frames its service around three areas: design support to choose profiles compliant with and durable for New Zealand conditions; consistent supply of KiwiColour steel profiles; and branch-based teams providing logistics and trade-focused service to help keep projects on schedule. For the Christchurch branch, that means local support alongside the same nationwide product range available at the company's other branches in Albany, Manukau, Hamilton, Palmerston North and Wellington.
