Profiled sheets are a reliable and high-quality material widely used in construction. The scope of corrugated board is very diverse:
This building material is quite versatile and suitable for use in various fields. It is made of galvanized steel and coated with a special color polymer. The size of the profiled sheet can be any, depending on the needs and the object under construction. It is produced by cold rolling and further profiling to give it rigidity and reliability.
Advantages of the professional sheet
This rather popular building material has many positive qualities. Often it is used in construction for cladding and roofing, for the construction of fences, cladding facades, which are created in a short time.
Its undoubted advantages, important in creating a reliable structure, are:
- High strength profiled sheet.
- Custom made any size of profiled sheet.
- Resistance to corrosion.
- Long operational period.
- Light weight.
- Easy transportation.
- A varied assortment.
- Simplicity and ease of use.
- Resistance to adverse climatic conditions.
Whatever size of the profiled sheet you choose, it will always be distinguished by its quality and constant universality. He is not afraid of either temperature changes or high humidity, and the surface treated with a special polymer coating gives the material decorative properties, which contributed to its use in the construction of cottages and private houses.
Roofing Decking
The creation of such a material for the roof made it possible to replace the heavy and brittle slate, which created difficulties during operation, while the corrugated board is easily mounted and is highly durable.
For roofing , the dimensions of the roofing profiled sheet can be selected individually. It can withstand heavy loads in the form of hail, snow and rain, and due to its flexibility, profiled sheets can be adapted to any shape. A square meter of profiled sheet can weigh from 5 to 11 kg. The size of the profiled sheet is calculated depending on the length of the roof slope. The material is mounted on a crate impregnated with an antiseptic. Self-tapping screws are used for fastening.
The composition of the roofing sheeting
The standard dimensions of the profiled sheet for the roof range from 930 to 1160 mm of useful width. The material consists of:
- steel sheet - base;
- zinc coating;
- anticorrosive phosphate layer;
- primers;
- external polymer coating;
- protective varnish.
Roof construction is often carried out by a profile with a height of more than 35 mm.
During the acquisition of the material, it is important to take care of the purchase of components for professional sheets. This is a strip of the inner and outer corner, end and ridge strips, insulation, screws, etc.
Standard galvanized sheet sizes
The popularity of corrugated board due to a wide selection of sizes and colors. However, the most common are construction sheets of 3 and 6 m in length. The dimensions of the profiled sheet are directly related to its purpose.
The production of corrugated board is carried out from rolled steel, so the length of the blade can vary, depending on the requirements of customers.
When calculating the size of the profiled sheet, you should take into account the overall and useful width, which differ from each other. When laying profiled sheets, it is necessary to overlap an adjacent element to the length of one corrugation. Consequently, the usable width will be reduced by approximately 40-80 mm.
The thicker the galvanized sheet, the stronger it is. Its standard size varies between 0.5 and 1 mm.
The height of the profiled sheet consists of the distance between two adjacent corrugations, so it depends on the pattern of the sheet itself.
The purpose of each type of profiled sheets is reflected in its marking.
- C (wall) - corrugated board intended for the construction of the fence (C8, 20, 21). It can be used for facade cladding or installation of partitions.
- N (bearing) - corrugated roofing (H60, 75, 114). It features a high profile height, high rigidity and resistance to heavy loads.
- NS (universal) - for all types of the above works (NS35, 44).
The corrugated board is marked in such a way that its name displays the indicators of the height and width of the profile, as well as its thickness and purpose.
In addition to indicators of the height of the corrugation, the material has various forms that are similar to clay tiles. Such corrugated board is in demand in the market of roofing materials. The shape of the corrugation may indicate belonging to one or another manufacturer. Thus, companies uniquely identify their products and protect them from fakes, promoting them in the building materials market.
Profiled sheet for fence: sheet sizes
A reasonable solution for fencing the territory of a summer residence, cottage, plot is a fence from a profiled sheet. Compared to the netting, such a structure will last much longer, because it does not rust. Moreover, a fence from corrugated board will serve as a good sound-reflecting barrier.
For the construction of fences, professional sheets C21, C20 or C8 are often used. These sheets are particularly durable due to the shape and thickness of the metal.
Since the corrugated fence falls under the influence of a destructive external environment, it can be ordered with a special polymer coating. It will provide protection for a longer service life. This material is quite easy to care for, most often for the treatment of its surface using pural, polyester or plastisol.
Fence from professional sheets: advantages
- Ability to select the size of the sheets.
- It does not require any preparatory work.
- Reasonable price.
- A continuous coating that protects from unnecessary looks.
Galvanized corrugated board is produced in a hot way - galvanized steel is machined to give it a shape. The operational performance of such a product is very high.
In the case, as with any other building material, profiled sheets have several disadvantages:
- Low resistance to reagents and chemical compounds.
- Over time, the glossy coating of the material fades.
- It is sensitive to mechanical stress, as a result of which an unprotected and damaged area can easily corrode.
Where can I use galvanized sheeting?
- For pouring the foundation as a formwork.
- For the construction of garages, awnings, retail shops, internal partitions.
- For the construction of protective structures.
- As a roofing for buildings with a large area.
Corrosion resistance and durability are the main advantages of this product, in favor of which the service life of corrugated board is also 30-50 years. The color scheme of the profiled sheet consists of 30 colors, allowing you to make a choice in favor of the one you like most. Walls or roofs lined with this product will stand out against the gray mass of neighboring buildings, and over time, the color will not fade or burn out in the sun. Easy use of the material and significant savings during installation characterize it as one of the most technologically advanced and affordable construction tools.
