uPVC Roofing Sheet

Quiet, rust-free, heat-cutting.

Corrosion-freeHeat & sound insulatingChemical resistantCE marked

uPVC roofing sheets are engineered as a long-life alternative to metal cover where corrosion, chemical attack, heat gain and noise are the dominant concerns. Built up from multiple co-extruded layers of unplasticised PVC with a weather-grade ASA cap, the sheet resists the rust, pitting and electrolytic decay that shorten the life of steel and aluminium roofs. The result is a stable, low-maintenance covering that holds its colour and structural integrity across long service intervals.

01Overview

uPVC roofing sheets are engineered as a long-life alternative to metal cover where corrosion, chemical attack, heat gain and noise are the dominant concerns. Built up from multiple co-extruded layers of unplasticised PVC with a weather-grade ASA cap, the sheet resists the rust, pitting and electrolytic decay that shorten the life of steel and aluminium roofs. The result is a stable, low-maintenance covering that holds its colour and structural integrity across long service intervals.

The multi-layer construction does more than protect against corrosion. The cellular PVC core slows the transfer of solar heat into the building below, keeping interiors measurably cooler than under bare metal, while the same mass damps the drumming of rain and hail that makes thin-gauge roofs so loud. Because uPVC is inherently inert to most acids, alkalis and salts, the sheet is equally at home over a fertiliser store, a poultry house or a chemical process hall.

Manufactured to a trapezoidal profile for predictable purlin spanning and straightforward overlap, the sheets are supplied across Europe, North America and beyond with the technical documentation, fixings and accessories needed for a complete, code-compliant roof. Each consignment is produced under a quality-managed process and can be matched to project length, colour and translucency requirements.

03Applications

Factory & industrial roofing

A cool, quiet, low-maintenance cover for production halls and assembly buildings where metal would corrode or radiate heat.

Poultry houses & farm buildings

Resists ammonia, moisture and washdown chemicals while keeping livestock interiors cooler and calmer than metal sheet.

Warehouses & logistics sheds

Long spanning trapezoidal cover that reduces rain noise and solar heat gain over large stored-goods areas.

Chemical & fertiliser plants

Inert to most acids, alkalis and salts, making it suited to corrosive process and storage environments.

Wash bays & wet processing areas

Stable under constant humidity and splash without rusting, flaking or staining.

04Features & benefits

Corrosion-free

Will not rust, pit or corrode, eliminating the principal failure mode of steel and aluminium roofs.

Heat insulating

Low thermal conductivity and a cellular core cut solar heat transfer, keeping interiors cooler.

Sound damping

The sheet's mass and structure absorb the drumming of rain and hail for a quieter building.

Chemical resistant

Inert to a wide range of acids, alkalis, salts and fumes for harsh industrial and agricultural settings.

Colour-stable surface

The ASA weather cap holds colour and resists UV chalking over long outdoor exposure.

Low maintenance

No painting or rust treatment is required, reducing whole-life roof costs.

05Standards & compliance
  • EN 13501-1

    Reaction-to-fire classification (Euroclass) of the sheet for use in building roofs and cladding.

  • EN ISO 1183

    Determination of the density of the PVC compound, underpinning declared weight and quality consistency.

  • EN ISO 62 / ASTM D570

    Water absorption of plastics, confirming the sheet's low moisture uptake and dimensional stability.

  • ASTM D635

    Rate of burning / flammability test for self-supporting plastics, an ASTM reference for fire behaviour.

  • ISO 9001

    Quality management of the manufacturing process, supporting batch consistency and full documentation.

06Installation & handling
  • Lay sheets with the recommended end and side laps and fix down-slope to maintain weather-tight overlaps.
  • Fix through the crown of the profile using corrosion-resistant screws with EPDM-bonded washers, predrilling oversize holes to allow for thermal movement.
  • Do not over-tighten fasteners; the washer should seal without distorting the profile.
  • Maintain a minimum roof pitch in line with the profile and lap detail to ensure positive drainage.
  • Support free edges and ends on purlins; observe the maximum recommended purlin spacing for the sheet thickness specified.
  • Handle and store flat, clear of the ground, and keep film-wrapped and shaded until installation to protect the surface.

08Quality & supply

Stock profiles and standard colours are typically available for prompt despatch, while bespoke lengths, colours and translucent rooflight runs are produced to order on confirmed lead times advised at enquiry; representative samples and cut sections can be provided for evaluation and approval ahead of bulk manufacture. Every consignment ships with full documentation — technical data sheet, declaration of performance / CE marking where applicable, reaction-to-fire and water-absorption test references and a product warranty — and we supply across Europe, North America and beyond with complete export paperwork, including certificates of origin and packing details, prepared to suit the destination market.

09Frequently asked

uPVC Roofing Sheet
questions.

Unlike metal, uPVC cannot rust or corrode and is inert to most chemicals, so it suits corrosive and humid environments. It also insulates against heat and noise far better than bare metal, at the cost of a lower span capacity for a given thickness.

Yes. Unplasticised PVC is chemically inert to a wide range of acids, alkalis, salts and fumes, including the ammonia found in poultry houses, which makes it well suited to chemical, fertiliser and agricultural buildings.

The sheet typically achieves a Euroclass of B–C (s2-s3, d0) to EN 13501-1, meaning it is flame-retardant and self-extinguishing. The exact class is confirmed by test report for the thickness and grade supplied.

Yes. A translucent grade is available to introduce diffused daylight, and it is profile-matched to the opaque sheet so the two can be laid in the same roof plane on the same purlin layout.

uPVC expands more than metal, so fixing holes are drilled oversize and screws are fitted through the crown with sealing washers, not over-tightened, allowing the sheet to move freely without buckling or splitting.

Sheets are cut to project length up to typical maximums, in standard thicknesses of around 2.0–3.0 mm and a range of colours such as grey, terracotta, blue and green; bespoke project colours can be produced to order.

Yes. We supply across Europe, North America and beyond, and each shipment is accompanied by a technical data sheet, test report references, warranty and full export documentation prepared for the destination.
