In modern construction, a large number of new materials have recently appeared that significantly help ease the work of craftsmen and shorten the installation time. At the same time, it is worth noting the versatility of many of them, which significantly expands the scope and creates additional methods and techniques. For example, a profiled sheet is used at almost all stages of construction, starting from preparation and ending with the erection of a roof. This area of application enabled the manufacturer to significantly expand the range of corrugated board, manufacturing products of various shapes and colors. And recently, you can buy this material with curly trimmed edges and with an airbrush pattern.
How to make a profiled sheet
In almost all manufacturing cases, a galvanized metal sheet is used. It tolerates environmental influences and is resistant to corrosion. Also, this material lends itself well to processing on the press or rolling mills. That is why shaping the sheet is done by stamping. In this case, matrices with various shapes are used, which are made in accordance with the purpose of the material being produced. The weight of the profiled sheet obtained as a result depends not only on its dimensions, but also on the thickness of the workpiece.
Pruning
After the product has received a shape, it is cut off, giving a certain size. In this process, a guillotine is used, on which knives of various shapes are mounted. They give the edges the appearance of the top of the fence, slate, the final row of tiles, etc. In this case, the profiled sheet acquires its own field of application.
Painting
After trimming, part of the material is sent to the warehouse for sale. Even in this form, it has excellent qualities and is resistant to various climatic conditions. Another part of the finished product is dyed. In this case, a wide variety of colors and shades are used, which are applied using special dyes that are resistant to sunlight and minor mechanical damage. There is also a technology that applies a profiled special pattern to a sheet . Usually it has the form of a roofing or fence material. However, you can find such products where a picture or photograph is applied to the surface.
Application area
A profiled sheet, the price of which is sometimes much lower than other building materials, is used at almost every stage of construction. Temporary fences and awnings for equipment are made of it, it is used for the manufacture of partitions or piers, they are sheathed walls, etc. However, this material is most popular in the process of installing a roof or when creating fences.
Conclusion
Thus, this type of building material can be considered a modern alternative to tiles and slate. At the same time, it is much more convenient to work with it, it has a low weight, and the structure made of it has good strength and resistance to environmental influences.
