Box profile roofing sheets are some of our most popular roofing sheets that we supply around the UK. They tend not to be used on houses but are widely used on agricultural buildings, garages, summer-houses, stables and various out buildings.
Box profile Roofing sheets are also used a lot for metal wall cladding on industrial and commercial premises.
Made from galvanised steel, you are guaranteed strength, reliability and are easy to clean. Here at Roof Sheets Online Ltd, we offer various profiles and colour options so we are sure to have the right box profile roofing sheets to match the look you are trying to achieve.
The most important way to get the maximum lifespan from your roof sheet material is to ensure they are fitted correctly.
Roof Sheets Online supply both the Box Profile 32/1000 and the Box Profile 34/1000
We offer our roof and wall sheets in 0.5mm and 0.7mm thickness.
Dripstop backing can be applied during the manufacturing process for both our roof sheet profiles.
Here is a guide to help you with the installation of Box Profile Roofing Sheets.
Firstly you should consider if you have the right strength purlins or joists to make sure your Box profile roofing sheets are properly supported. If you notice any structural damage to any supports, then it would be best to get them checked by a qualified surveyor. The next important thing to consider is making sure your sheets will fit correctly. Roof Sheets Online Ltd offer a free cut to size service for all our Box Profile Roofing Sheets.
Although we make your metal sheets to length, there may be occasions where you need to cut the material. If this is the case then we suggest using one of the nibbler attachments in our accessory section. Grinding disks are an option but if you have selected metal roof sheets with the plastisol coating option, then this may not be possible as the disk may over-heat and melt the coated protection.
The best way to lay your sheets should start with deciding what end of the roof you are going to lay the first sheet. Left to right will make the process that bit easier. The top of the sheet should run up to the ridge point if installing on a pitched roof. If your roof is a single slope roof then we suggest level with the top point of the roof and then allow a small over-hang into the gutter section at the bottom. Once the first sheet is lined up then it will be a case of working your way along the roofing sheets overlapping by using the overlap lip built into the sheets. you will then need to use stitching screws to secure the overlap together. You also have the option to use lap tape if needed. this will give a much tighter seal on the lap.
When installing the Box Profile Roofing Sheets you will need to secure them to your supports. Whether you are fixing into timber or steel purlins we have the solution for you.
When fixing this type of roofing sheet to purlins you would normally screw through the trough section of the sheets ( lower part )
All Roofing Fixings are in bags of 100
Bags of Colour Coded Caps are also available to match you Roofing Sheet Colour.
