Corrugated Mild Steel Roofing Sheets
What is corrugated mild steel roofing sheet and what is it used for?
Corrugated sheet roof metal is manufactured by stretching mild steel sheets and then rolling through a rolling die to produce a linear, wavy pattern of peaks and troughs; these are laid next to each other with an overlap for waterproofing roofs mainly on outbuildings, barns, industrial storage, agricultural applications, and commercial buildings where aesthetic is less important, but waterproofing is important. In more recent years, corrugated roof sheet has been used for dramatic effect as cladding in bars and clubs to add an industrial or gritty urban feel.
This form of wavy profile metal plate or sheet is also often called roofing cladding within the building trade; they are often installed with an overlap of one and a half corrugations to make them waterproof and our corrugated steel roofing sheets are galvanised for increased protection and resistance to corrosion.

Finishing your corrugated roof sheets.
Corrugated roof sheets are galvanised steel to provide a surface which is highly resistant to corrosion so further painting or other surface treatment is not necessary to provide additional protection. However, for aesthetic purposes, galvanised products can be painted or powder-coated if desired.
Will corrugated steel sheets rust?
Corrugated steel sheets can be vulnerable to rust if exposed to moisture and environmental elements over time which is why we supply our corrugated steel sheets galvanised to resist corrosion, significantly extending their lifespan. Regular maintenance, like clearing debris and checking for damage, can also help prevent rust and preserve the integrity of your roofing and structures
What do you put under corrugated metal roofing?
To install corrugated metal roofing effectively, it is essential to use underlayment or sheathing beneath the sheets. Underlayment materials, such as a waterproof membrane or synthetic felt, are an additional protective layer to prevent moisture buildup and improve insulation. Installing an underlayment helps create a secure, energy-efficient, and weatherproof barrier, ensuring your roofing performs well over time.
What thickness of corrugated steel for roofing?
At metals4U, we offer corrugated steel roofing sheets in lengths of 2000, 2500, and 3000mm with a 0.5mm thickness.
How much overlap do I need for corrugated metal roofing?
For effective installation, a recommended overlap of at least one corrugation (or approximately 100-150mm) is suggested for corrugated metal roofing sheets. This overlap helps to create a weather-tight seal, reducing the risk of leaks and enhancing the overall strength of the roof. Following these guidelines will ensure a durable and secure installation.
