Types of Corrugated Roofing Sheets
Based on Material
1. Metal Corrugated Sheets (GI, PPGI, Aluminum, Stainless Steel, Zinc, etc.)
Highly durable and weather-resistant
Available with protective coatings (e.g., galvanized, pre-painted, or zinc-aluminum coated)
Common thickness: 0.3mm to 1.2mm
2. Plastic Corrugated Sheets (PVC, Polycarbonate, Fiberglass)
Lightweight and cost-effective
Transparent or translucent options available for skylights
UV-resistant coatings for longer life
Profile Types & Specifications
Corrugated sheets come in different profiles, with measurements like 35/200 and 45/250, where:
The first number represents the rib height (mm)
The second number represents the rib pitch (mm)
Common profiles:
45/250 (45mm rib height, 250mm pitch) – Suitable for heavy-duty roofing
Sinusoidal Profiles – Traditional wavy design
Trapezoidal or Box Profiles – Modern, high-strength sheets
Advantages of Corrugated Roofing Sheets
Durability – Long-lasting and corrosion-resistant (especially metal sheets with coatings)
Lightweight – Easier to transport and install
Cost-Effective – Cheaper than concrete or tiled roofing
Weather-Resistant – Withstands heavy rains, wind, and even snow
Energy-Efficient – Reflective coatings reduce heat absorption
