Why choose corotherm polycarbonate sheets?

Polycarbonate sheets are a highly durable, low-cost and lightweight alternative to glass ideal for many uses such as: greenhouses, cold frames, shed windows and more. They offer high impact resistance up to 200 times greater than glass and can last up to 10 years if cared for properly, they’re also fantastic for DIY projects because they don’t crack or shatter when worked on with tools.

Conservatories and sheds

Corotherm polycarbonate sheets are often the popular pick for conservatories and sheds because of their durability. Compared to glass, these sheets are hard-wearing and able to withstand many conditions so whatever is thrown at them they will stay in place without shattering. These sheets are also easier and quicker to clean than glass, they only require soapy warm water compared to specialist glass materials.

Pergola roof

Often people don’t think to put roofing on their pergola, but adding corotherm polycarbonate sheets means you can enjoy outdoor areas in all seasons. They also offer protection from all elements, since they come with UV protection they are perfect come rain or shine! Even if you don’t want to sit outside whilst it rains, the sheets will still protect your furniture so you don’t have to worry about wrapping everything up during winter.

Why choose galvanised roofing sheets?

Corrugated metal roofing sheets have been used for many centuries and are widely regarded as one of the most reliable roofing products!

Below we will answer the most important and frequently asked questions regarding galvanised roofing sheets.

Are galvanised roofing sheets heavy duty?

These roofing sheets are lightweight to support (0.5mm in thickness), however are very heavy duty for purpose. Galvanised roofing is a cost effective and robust option for roofing or cladding.

Corrugated metal roofing has an excellent lifespan of 20+ years and as an extra benefit, it is extremely quick to install whether using it as a brand-new roof or as cladding over an existing roof.

Does the profile of the sheet matter?

The corrugations of the roofing allows both rain and snow to naturally move off the roof which means less risk of pools of water forming, which can lead to leaking and other issues. Corrugated metal roofing is also far better at withstanding harsh weather conditions in comparison to other materials. If you live in an area, which has frequent storms or hail you should consider switching to a corrugated metal roof for extra peace of mind.

The sheets are available in two different widths, however the profile of the sheet is the same (corrugations at 3inches from top to top).

Can I use galvanised roofing on different structures?

Recently galvanised roofing is a very popular option for carports and lean to pergolas, as a temporary or permanent solution, while giving the structure a traditional look.

Galvanised roofing only requires minimum maintenance; this has led to them being widely adapted as roofing solutions for livestock and farm owners as well as widespread use in construction and commercial industries.

Can you paint galvanised roofing?

Yes! Painting roofing sheets can be a daunting task, the best thing to use is acrylic latex paint. We recommend using a metal primer before and a top coat to seal the layers together. The weather is important, make sure you are applying in mild/ dry weather for best results!

Do I need underlay for galvanised roofing?

To keep the sheets protected and to create a safer barrier we advise to use a felt underlay under the timber batons.
