Corrugated steel roof sheeting is a strong and affordable solution to residential, industrial and commercial roofing requirements, and offers the benefits of being simultaneously more durable and more recyclable than any other roof sheeting on the market. The industry favours two common profiles: Corrugated iron and IBR.
Contrary to its name, corrugated iron is a steel roofing sheet, and has a classic S-rib profile. This wavy corrugated profile is the most well-known profiled sheeting globally, commonly used to cover residential roofs, carports, sheds, etc. It is impressively strong due to the many curves shaping this profile to ensure minimal rigidity and an excellent cover width.
Corrugated is highly fashionable in South Africa, filling some of the country’s finest estates as the preferred roof covering for home owners because of its affordability, corrugated is also the first choice for roofing solutions in low cost housing projects as well as home renovations alike.
There are many benefits to using corrugated steel for roofing, the largest one being its durability, corrugated steel roofing can last for as long as 100 years as it does not rust or rot. Due to the chemical treatment the growth of algae even during heavy rainfall is prevented and can withstand heavy weather conditions better than asphalt shingles.
Inverted box rib (IBR) has a square fluted profile, and is currently the most popular corrugated roofing sheet, given its high strength to weight ratio, optimal load span consistency and effective drainage.
