Single Skin
Our profiled metal sheets are designed for roofing and cladding on industrial, commercial and agricultural buildings.
Profiled sheets are available in 0.4mm, 0.5mm and 0.7mm thick steel in Plastisol and Polyester finishes.
There are 2 deep profiles and a 3 inch corrugated profile for roofing and cladding, along with a shallow liner profile.
We offer a profile identification service for repairs and refurbishment. We can source or manufacture current, obsolete or bespoke profiles to any requirement.
- Roof profiles are designed to be supported by steel or timber purlins, with the broad valley resting on the purlin.
- For 0.7mm thick profiles, purlins should be set at 1.8m maximum centres. Consult United Roofing Products for guidance on setting
- purlins at greater centres.
- Wall profiles should be fixed with their narrow valleys against the side rails.
- All profiles should be isolated from preservative treated timber by using PVC barrier tape applied to the bearing face.
- Supporting steelwork should meet tolerances of BS EN 1090-2:2008 and fixing planes on purlins should be less than L/600 apart (where L is the purlin spacing).
- The minimum roof pitch is 4Ëš.
