Metal Roofing Sheet

Corrugated cover that lasts.

Class A1 fireCE markedCorrosion resistantCut to length

Our Metal Roofing Sheet is a corrugated profiled sheet cold-rolled from continuously hot-dip galvanised steel, supplied either mill-finished or pre-painted in a durable organic coating. At a typical 0.5 mm core thickness with a 1000 mm effective cover width, it delivers a high strength-to-weight ratio that lets a single sheet span purlin centres other coverings cannot reach, keeping structures light and erection fast.

01Overview

Our Metal Roofing Sheet is a corrugated profiled sheet cold-rolled from continuously hot-dip galvanised steel, supplied either mill-finished or pre-painted in a durable organic coating. At a typical 0.5 mm core thickness with a 1000 mm effective cover width, it delivers a high strength-to-weight ratio that lets a single sheet span purlin centres other coverings cannot reach, keeping structures light and erection fast.

The zinc or aluminium-zinc metallic layer gives sacrificial, self-healing corrosion protection at cut edges and scratches, while the optional polyester paint system adds colour stability and a second barrier against weathering. Sheets are roll-formed to a regular corrugated profile and cut to the exact rafter length on order, so runs install end-to-end with minimal lapping, less waste and fewer fixings.

Manufactured to EN 508-1 and EN 14782 with CE marking, and to ASTM A653/A924 where North American practice applies, the sheet is engineered for industrial, agricultural and residential roofing across a wide span of climates. As a non-combustible steel product it carries a reaction-to-fire performance of Euroclass A1, making it equally suited to warehouses, sheds, canopies and pitched domestic roofs. Supplied across Europe, North America and beyond with full documentation.

03Applications

Industrial roofing

Lightweight large-span cover for factories, plants and steel-frame structures where fast, economical weatherproofing is essential.

Warehouses & sheds

Long unbroken runs cut to rafter length minimise laps and speed up enclosure of distribution and storage buildings.

Residential roofs

Pre-painted corrugated sheet provides a durable, colour-stable pitched roof for houses, extensions and outbuildings.

Agricultural buildings

Corrosion-resistant cover for barns, livestock shelters and equipment stores in demanding rural environments.

Canopies & walkways

Stiff, self-supporting sheet roofs car ports, loading bays and covered walkways with minimal supporting steel.

Wall cladding

The same profile doubles as vertical or horizontal façade cladding for a coordinated building envelope.

04Features & benefits

Corrosion resistant

Zinc or alu-zinc metallic coating gives sacrificial, self-healing protection at edges and fixings for long service life.

Lightweight

At around 4.5 kg/m² the sheet reduces structural loads, transport cost and on-site handling effort.

Large spans

High stiffness from the corrugated profile lets sheets bridge wide purlin centres with fewer supports.

Fast install

Cut-to-length sheets fix straight to purlins with self-drilling screws, covering large areas quickly with minimal lapping.

Non-combustible

Steel core delivers a Euroclass A1 reaction-to-fire performance, contributing nothing to fire growth.

Colour choice

Pre-painted polyester finish is available across a wide RAL range for design freedom and weather durability.

05Standards & compliance
  • EN 508-1

    Roofing and cladding products from metal sheet — specification for self-supporting products of steel sheet, defining tolerances, coatings and performance.

  • EN 14782

    Self-supporting metal sheet for roofing, external cladding and internal lining — product specification, requirements and the basis for CE marking (Annex ZA).

  • EN 10346

    Continuously hot-dip coated steel flat products — material grade (DX51D) and metallic coating classes such as Z275 zinc and AZ150 aluminium-zinc.

  • EN 13501-1

    Reaction-to-fire classification — uncoated and metallic-coated steel sheet achieves Euroclass A1 (non-combustible).

  • ASTM A653 / A924

    US specification for hot-dip zinc-coated (galvanised) steel sheet and the general requirements for metallic-coated sheet, for North American projects.

06Installation & handling
  • Fix into purlin crowns with self-drilling/self-tapping screws and bonded EPDM washers at the recommended pitch; do not over-tighten.
  • Lay sheets working away from the prevailing wind and maintain a minimum one-corrugation side lap, sealed where pitch is low.
  • Provide adequate end-lap (typically ≥150 mm) with mastic or butyl sealant tape on shallow pitches to prevent capillary water ingress.
  • Cut and drill on the ground using nibblers, shears or slow-speed saws — never an abrasive disc, which damages the coating and causes edge rust.
  • Remove all swarf, off-cuts and filings from the finished roof daily to avoid rust staining of the paint or metallic coating.
  • Handle bundles by the lift points, store off the ground under cover on a slight fall, and remove protective film promptly after fixing.

08Quality & supply

Galvanised and standard-colour pre-painted sheet in common thicknesses is typically held in stock for short lead times, while bespoke colours, metallic-coating upgrades and large fixed-length orders are made to order with indicative lead times confirmed at enquiry; representative samples and colour chips are available before commitment. Every consignment ships with a full documentation pack — Technical Data Sheet, mill and coating certificates, declaration of performance for CE marking, and finish warranty where applicable — and we supply across Europe, North America and beyond, handling export packing, marking and shipping documentation throughout.

09Frequently asked

Metal Roofing Sheet
questions.

GI is mill-finished zinc-coated steel that weathers to a natural grey; PPGI adds a coloured polyester paint system over the zinc for a chosen RAL colour and a second layer of weather protection. Both share the same corrosion-resistant base.

A minimum pitch of around 10° is recommended. Use at least a one-corrugation side lap and an end lap of roughly 150 mm; on shallower pitches seal laps with butyl tape or mastic to prevent capillary water ingress.

Yes. Sheets are cut to order, typically up to 8 m, so a single length can run eave-to-ridge with no intermediate end lap — reducing waste, fixings and installation time.

A Z275 zinc coating gives sacrificial, self-healing protection and typically withstands 500–1000 hours of salt-spray testing to ISO 9227. For coastal or aggressive environments an AZ150 aluminium-zinc coating offers extended durability.

Yes. As a steel product the sheet is non-combustible and achieves a reaction-to-fire performance of Euroclass A1 to EN 13501-1 in its uncoated and metallic-coated forms, contributing nothing to fire growth.

They are manufactured to EN 508-1 and EN 14782 with CE marking, from EN 10346 hot-dip coated steel, and to ASTM A653/A924 for North American projects. A declaration of performance and mill certificates accompany each order.

Yes — we supply across Europe, North America and beyond. Each consignment ships with a Technical Data Sheet, mill and coating certificates, a CE declaration of performance, finish warranty where applicable, and full export packing and shipping documentation.
