Origin.

Idiens Sheetmetal and Roofing are leaders in cladding, roofing and flashings manufacture. From a state-of-the-art manufacturing plant, they produce roofing and cladding to suit all applications from standard budget housing throughout Christchurch and Canterbury to modern award-winning architectural developments across the country. Working direct with architects, builders and anyone else seeking roofing and cladding advice, Idiens offers a full range of standard profiles as well as the capacity to custom design solutions to fit your exact requirements.

Christchurch born-and-bred, Idiens Sheetmetal and Roofing is 100% locally owned with nearly 90 years in the field: this is the oldest sheet metal manufacturer in Canterbury that can still offer one-off custom cladding, roofing and flashing solutions, as well as traditional profiles such as weatherboard. This wealth of local experience ensures Idiens delivers the highest quality that withstands South Island conditions – and that includes earthquakes. Idiens cladding is lightweight, structurally sound, and has the unique ability to ‘pop off’ so that the structure behind can be easily checked. Several cladding profiles in the Idiens range have already been through the consent process with the Christchurch City Council – providing reassurance that your chosen products will not cause delay in the approval process.

Idiens uses two turret punches in the workshop to carry out their projects.

Turrets are great for one offs whilst maintaining the ability of ramping up to high capacity production work with little effort.
