SHOWING ROOFING SHEETS ROOFING SHEETS

NOWADAYS FOR PERMANENT OR SEMI PERMANENT ROOFING

PURPOSES,INSTEAD OF TILES, ROOFING SHEETS ARE UESD.
DUE TO AVAILABILITY IN VARIOUS DIFFERENT MATERIALS, FORMS & EASY
FIXATION, THESE SHEETS ARE POPULAR.
ROOFING SHEETS ARE AVAILABLE IN MANY DIFFERENT COLOURS HENCE
USED FOR ENHANCING THE AESTHETICS OF BUILDINGS
CUTTING OF ROOFING SHEETS
CUTTING OF
PLAIN A.C.
SHEETS WITH
THE HELP OF
CUTTING TOOL

MACHINE USED TO
CUT CORROGATED
SHEETS
FIXING OF ROOFING SHEETS
 STRUCTURAL FRAME ERECTED
 PURLINS FIXED OVER FRAMES
 SPACING DECIDED ACCORDING TO
LENGTH OF SHEET OR VICE VERSA
 HOLES DRILLED AT SPECIFIC
INTERVALS THROUGH WHICH
HOOKS ARE FIXED TO THE
STRUCTURAL MEMBERS
 SOMETIMES 2 SHEETS ARE RIVETED
TO EACH OTHER FOR EXTRA
STABILITY
 FOR FIXING OF 4 SHEETS AT A
POINT, A HOLE IS DRILLED AT ONE
ONE CORNER & ALL 4 CORNERS
ARE OVERLAPED, INTO THIS, THE
HOOK IS DRILLED THROUGH THE
HOLES & THUS THE ROOF GETS
FIXED TO THE FRAME WORK.
TYPES OF HOOKS

FOR TEMPORARY  COST VARIES FROM Rs.150/m TO
STRUCTURES. Rs.500/m DEPENDING UPON
THICKNESS
 USED EXTENSIVELY FOR
COVERING ROOFS OF SHEDS,
WORKSHOPS, HUTS,ETC.
 PROTECTED FROM RUSTING BY
APPLYING PAINTS
FIBRE SHEETS

THESE SHEETS HAVE FIBRE

REINFORCEMENT
THESE SHEETS ARE GENERALLY
LOCALLY PRODUCED, AVAILABLE IN
A.C. PROFILE AS WELL AS PLAIN
PATTERN.
THE MAIN FEATURE OF FIBRE SHEETS
IS THAT, THESE ARE MANUFACTURED
IN VARIOUS DESIGN PATTERNS.
MOSTLY USED TO COVER BALCONIES,
GARRAGES & SEMIPERMANENT
STRUCTURES.
PRICES- 250RS/M
PVC SHEETS
 LENGTH 2m,2.5m,3m
THICKNESS 1mm
WIDTH 1m
 AVALABLE IN DIFFERENT
PATTERN AS ACCORDING TO
THE TYPE OF CORRUGATIONS,
TEXTURE, CLOTH USED INSIDE
ETC.
 USED MAINLY IN RESIDENTIAL
BUILDINGS
 AVAILABLE IN DIFFERENT
COLOURS AND PATTERNS
 HENCE MOST EXTENSIVELY
USED
ALUMINIUM SHEETS
 LIGHTEST OF ALL ROOFING
MATERIALS
 IMPERVIOUS TO WEATHER
AND DOES NOT GET
CORRODED
 HIGH CO-EFFICIENT OF
EXPANSION
COPPER AND ZINC SHEETS
 COPPER IS EXCEEDINGLY DURABLE, TOUGH, NON-
CORRODIBLE, RESISTANT TO FIRE, MALLEABLE,
DUCTILE, SOFT AND AN EXCELLENT CONDUCTOR OF
HEAT
 ZINC HAS BETTER TENSILE STRENGTH
 THESE ROOFING SHEETS ARE USED IN PLACES WHERE
IT IS NECESSARY TO KEEP THE INTERIORS OF THE
STRUCTURE WARM
PROFLEX SHEETS
•FEATURES-
•SELF SUPPORTED- THESE ARE SELF • ECONOMICAL-
SUPPORTED WITHOUT TRUSSES,
PURLINS OR ANCILLARY SUPPORT.
• FREE FROM HOLES, NUTS, BOLTS &
OVERLAPS.
• FLEXIBLE- UNOBSTRUCTED 32
METERS OF CLEAR SPANS
• ZERO MAINTAINANCE
• NO BIRD NUISANCE
• DURABLE 100% LEAK PROOF
• SPEED-
• ON SITE PANNEL FABRICATION
• INSTANT INSTALLATION OF
2000 SQ.M. IN JUST 12 HRS.
• RESISTANCE TO DAMAGE &
CORROSION
• ATTRACTIVE FACADES-
• LARGER & CLOSED VOLUMES
• MATERIAL- GALVALUME
STEEL SHEETS, THICKNESS 0.7
TO 1.6MM
• COST EFFECTIVE.
ADVANTAGES OF ROOFING SHEETS
 COMPARITIVELY CHEAPER AS COMPARED TO
TRADITIONAL TILES
 ECONOMICAL TO USE ON LARGE SPANS AS LESS
ADDITIONAL FRAMING MEMBERS REQUIRED
 ALSO EASY TO FIX AND LIGHT IN WEIGHT
 TIME REQUIRED FOR LAYING OF ROOFING SHEETS IS
LESS
 HENCE ROOFING SHEETS ARE PREFERED TO
TRADITIONAL TILES.
DISADVANTAGES OF ROOFING SHEETS

 METALLIC SHEETS GET CORRODED AFTER SOMETIME AND THEREFORE THEY NEED TO
BE PROTECTED
 PLASTIC SHEETS FADE AND BECOME DULL
 METALLIC SHEETS ALSO EXPAND DUE TO HEAT
