Profiled sheets are a reliable and high-quality material widely used in construction. The scope of corrugated board is very diverse:
- Walls.
- Roofs.
- Fences.
This building material is quite versatile and suitable for various applications. It is made of galvanized steel and covered with a special colored 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.
Primary sides of profiled sheets
This fairly popular building material has many positive qualities. Often it is used in construction for cladding and roofing, for the construction of fences, facade cladding, 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 profiled sheet.
- Corrosion resistance.
- Long service lifeperiod.
- Light weight.
- Easy transport.
- Diverse assortment.
- Simple and easy to use.
- Resistance to adverse climatic conditions.
Whatever size of profiled sheet you choose, it will always be distinguished by its quality and unchanging versatility. 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.
Roof sheeting
The creation of such a roofing material made it possible to replace heavy and fragile slate, which created difficulties during work, while corrugated board is easy to install and is high strength.
For roof decking, 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 molded 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 attached to a crate impregnated with an antiseptic. Self-tapping screws are used for fastening.
Composition of corrugated roofing
Standard dimensions of corrugated sheet for roofing vary from 930 to 1160 mm of usable width. Consists of material from:
- steel sheet base;
- zinc plating;
- anti-corrosion phosphate layer;
- primers;
- outer resin coating;
- protective varnish.
Roof construction is often carried out with a profile higher than 35 mm.
When purchasing material, it is important to take care of the purchase of accessories for profiled sheets. This is a plank of the inner and outer corner, end and ridge bars, insulation, self-tapping screws, etc.
Standard dimensions of galvanized profiled sheet
The popularity of corrugated board is due to a wide choice of sizes and colors. However, building sheets of 3 and 6 m in length are the most popular. The dimensions of the profiled sheet are directly related to its purpose.
Production of corrugated board is carried out from rolled steel, so the length of the web may vary, depending on the requirements of customers.
When calculating the size of a profiled sheet, one should take into account the overall and useful width, which differ from each other. When laying profiled sheets, it is required to overlap the adjacent element for the length of one corrugation. Therefore, the usable width will be reduced by approximately 40-80mm.
The thicker the galvanized sheet, the stronger it is. Its standard size varies between 0.5 and 1mm.
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
- С (wall) - corrugated board,intended for the construction of a fence (С8, 20, 21). Can be used for facade cladding or partition installation.
- H (bearing) - corrugated roofing (H60, 75, 114). It features a large profile height, high rigidity and resistance to heavy loads.
- HC (universal) - for all types of the above works (HC35, 44).
The profile is marked in such a way that its name reflects the height and width of the profile, as well as its thickness and purpose.
In addition to the height of the corrugations, the material is distinguished by various shapes 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 that it belongs to one or another manufacturer. Thus, companies uniqueize their products and protect them from fakes by promoting them on the building materials market.
Professional sheet for the fence: sheet dimensions
A reasonable solution for fencing the territory of a dacha, cottage, plot is a fence made of profiled sheet. Compared to a chain-link mesh, such a structure will last much longer, because it will not rust. Moreover, a corrugated fence 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.
Because the corrugated fence is affected by the destructive environment, it can be ordered with a specialpolymer coating. It will serve as protection for a longer service life. This material is quite easy to care for, most often pural, polyester or plastisol are used to treat its surface.
Fence from profiled sheets: advantages
- Choose the size of sheets.
- Does not require any preparatory work.
- Reasonable price.
- Full coverage to keep out prying eyes.
Galvanized corrugated sheeting is made in a hot way - mechanical processing of galvanized steel is carried out in order to give it a shape. The performance of such a product is very high.
In the case of any other building material, profiled sheets have several disadvantages:
- Low resistance to reagents and chemicals.
- The glossy finish of the material fades over time.
- Possesses sensitivity to mechanical stress, as a result of which an unprotected and damaged area can easily corrode.
Where can I use galvanized corrugated board?
- For pouring the foundation as formwork.
- For the construction of garages, sheds, retail shops, internal partitions.
- For the construction of protective structures.
- As a roof covering for buildings with a large area.
Anti-corrosion and durability are the main advantages of this product, as evidenced by the service life of corrugated board - 30-50 years. Color spectrumprofiled sheet consists of 30 colors, allowing you to choose the one you like best. The walls or roof lined with this product will stand out against the background of the gray mass of neighboring buildings, while over time the color will not fade and will not fade in the sun. Easy application of the material and significant savings during installation characterize it as one of the most technologically advanced and affordable construction tools.
