Durable, lightweight and inexpensive corrugated board, which is also called corrugated board, has found wide distribution today and has gained popularity among many consumers. Using this material, you can build a garage, warehouse or kiosk. Decking has many varieties, with the help of one of them you can always clad a wall, build a partition or fence, and also easily build a roof.
However, high strength and decorativeness are not the only qualities for which it would be worth choosing this material. After all, it is still quite easy to transport, and upon arrival at the place you can strengthen the sheet with self-tapping screws in a few hours.
Main species
Decking, the thickness of which can be different, has a common feature inherent in all types of profile. This is a coating, which can be simple or polymeric. Simple coating should be understood as a galvanized layer.
Even during the production process, the material can be coated with a durable and decorative polymer coating. Considering the varieties of the profile, it can be noted that it has its own depth,shape and width. These features determine the strength and rigidity of the sheet, which allows the use of profiled sheets in the field of construction.
It is worth remembering that corrugated board, the thickness and dimensions of which will be mentioned below, is made according to its own standards by each manufacturer. This indicates that the specifications mentioned may differ.
C8 profile assignments
This sheet has a corrugated surface and lower strength than the profiles below. The cloth can have a galvanized or polymeric covering. On sale, such canvases are most often brown, cherry, white, blue or dark green.
If the roof has a sufficiently large slope, then this material can be used for arranging the roof. It is also used as a cladding for walls and in the construction of fences. C8 corrugated board can be used for roofing if it has a continuous crate. The material can be used as a structural element in the construction of temporary structures and buildings that have fast construction technology.
This corrugated board can form the basis of the roof if it has a galvanized layer. Having bought a corrugated profiled sheet, you can lay it in the frame structure. Painted sheet with a galvanized protective layer can be used for the construction of enclosing and panel structures. Additional applications are:
- steel fences;
- cladding of wall structures;
- protective wall covering;
- elementsprefabricated sandwich panels;
- elements of composite sandwich structures of walls, partitions, ceilings with fire-resistant characteristics.
If we are talking about fences, then you should purchase C8 corrugated board, which has a galvanized coating protected by a polymer.
Dimensions and characteristics of C8 corrugated board
Decking, the thickness of which can vary from 0.5 to 0.7 mm, has a width of 1200 mm. As for the length, it varies from 0.5 to 12 m. The working width of the sheet is 1150 mm, and the profile height is 8 mm. The profile pitch is equivalent to 115 mm, and the weight of 1 m2 sheet is 4.5 kg. This is true if the thickness is 0.5 mm. With a thickness of 0.7 mm, the weight of 1 m2 will be 6.17 kg.
C10 profile assignment
Decking, the thickness of which will be mentioned below, may be designated C10. In this case, we are talking about a corrugated sheet, which has a reduced strength. The corrugation has the shape of a trapezoid, and the colors and coatings of the sheet will be the same as in the above case.
This type of profiled sheet is used for roofing with a large angle of inclination. The material can be used for the construction of fences, it is also suitable for creating prefabricated structures, outbuildings and for facing buildings. This profiled sheet is used for the manufacture of load-bearing parts, partitions from sandwich panels that protect buildings from fire.
Minimum thickness of corrugated board C10is 0.4 mm. This material is used in the arrangement of roofs, on which the lathing is laid in increments of 0.8 m. You can also see C10 as a structural element in the construction of steel structures for various purposes.
Dimensions and characteristics of profiled sheet C10
Galvanized corrugated board, thickness 0.5 mm, is an average value. The maximum thickness setting is 0.8mm. As for the length of the sheet, it varies from 0.5 to 12 m, the total and working width of the sheet are 1150 and 1100 mm, respectively. The profile height is equivalent to 10 mm and the distance between the profiles is 115 mm. A square meter of a sheet with a thickness of 0.5; 0.6; 0.7; 0.8 weighs 4.6; 5, 83; 6, 33; 7, 64 kg respectively.
C18 profile assignment
This corrugated board, the thickness, the types of which will be described in the article, has the appearance of a wavy or ribbed material. It has a small thickness, which allows you to cut and drill it quite simply. Types and colors of polymer coatings are similar to the profiles described above. Decorativeness is quite high, so C18 is common in the arrangement of fences and fences. A profiled sheet is suitable for roofs on which the crate is pre-laid in increments of 40 cm or less. Additional areas of use are:
- ceiling lining;
- wall decoration;
- construction of panel structures;
- construction of partition walls.
When using a profiled sheet for roofing slopemust be 25° or less.
C18 profile dimensions and characteristics
This roofing corrugated sheet, whose length ranges from 0.5 to 12 m, has a thickness of 0.4 to 0.8 mm. The total and working width of the sheet is 1023 and 1000 mm, respectively. The profile height is 18 mm. When calculating the load on the roof, you may need such a parameter as the weight of one square meter. If the sheet thickness is 0.5; 0.6; 0.7; 0.8, then the weight of one square meter will be 5.18; 5, 57; 7, 13 and 8, 11 kg respectively.
C21 profile assignment
The thickness of the C21 roofing sheet remains the same as in the above case. This material is a corrugated fabric, the surface of which can be trapezoidal or ribbed. Blade protected against corrosion:
- prism;
- polyester;
- polyurethane;
- puralom.
C21 has found its distribution for covering roofs with a crate, the elements of which are removed by 80 cm or less. If we compare with previous profiles, then the C21 grade profiled sheet is used for cladding and construction of fences, buildings, outbuildings and structures. The material has high strength and is also versatile, which is true when compared to previous profiles.
Use areas are:
- frame structures;
- enclosing and shield structures;
- wall building structures;
- outer walls of small structures by typeshopping pavilions, amenity premises and garages;
- elements of prefabricated sandwich panels.
C21 profile sheet dimensions
The thickness of the sheet was mentioned above, the length remains the same and varies from 0.5 to 12 m. The total and working width of the sheet are 1051 and 1000 mm, respectively. The profile height is 21 mm and the distance between the profiles is equivalent to 100 mm. With a thickness of 0.5; 0.7; 0.8mm, the weight of one square meter is 5.14; 7, 13; 8, 11 kg respectively.
Varieties of 2-mm corrugated board according to manufacturing technology, profile height and shape, as well as material
2mm corrugated board is made using one of two technologies:
- cold rolled;
- hot rolling.
In the first case, state standards R 52146-2003 are used, while in the second case - R 52246-2004. You can also classify this material by the height of the profile. This parameter will change, which is determined by the brand, and will make a limit from 10 to 114 mm. The manufacturing error is within 1 to 2.5 mm.
If you purchase a sheet with a higher corrugation, then you will get a material of high rigidity, which can be used in the construction of load-bearing structures. You can also subdivide a profiled sheet of 2 mm thickness according to the shape of the profile, it can be:
- wavy;
- rectangular;
- square;
- trapezoidal.
In production, hot-dip galvanized sheet steel, with aluminum coating, aluminum-silicon protection, with electrolytic zinccoated. These types of corrugated boards are made of rolled steel, which is protected by a polymer layer.
Varieties of corrugated board depending on the type of protective coating
The most famous coatings used to protect profiled sheets can be classified into two groups: coating with zinc or aluminum zinc and coating with polymer compositions. The simplest protective base is galvanizing. It is made hot. This suggests that the sheet is dipped into molten zinc, achieving a layer thickness of 25 to 30 microns.
Zinc-aluminum coating protects from aggressive substances. It is more resistant, it is also called galvalum. It consists of three components: zinc, aluminum and silicon. The latter is necessary for the connection of the first two metals. The profiled sheet with aluminum-zinc protection is used in those areas of the city that have many busy highways. Such material is suitable for the roofs of a house near the sea coast or in an industrial area.
Small conclusion
Profiled sheeting has found its wide distribution in private and industrial construction for many reasons. Among them are: strength, ease of installation, corrosion resistance, ease of transportation and modern design.
When compared to smooth metal sheet of the same thickness, the profiled base will provide greater bending strength, sometimes up to 3.5 tons. You can mount the profiled sheet to the crate or individual parts of buildings using self-tapping screws. Sheets are resistant to all kinds of weather conditions, andalso corrosion, which prolongs their service life.
