Composite corrugated roof panels

Mate of mine has this corrugated composite roof panel product in mind. He recollects them as a very rigid and industrial panel. He's seen the stuff in the likes of B&Q and wants something superior. What are the options and where do you get them?

Is this what you're looking for?

there's a price list, so no guessing.

I don't think so, because it's just for a garage remodelling exercise and the insulation won't be important. I think he just wanted a really good quality product with less inherent flex than the usual stuff.

Alternatively,

You will require special fixings and may need barge boards plus internal and external ridges for a pitched roof. The fixing has a section of thread under the head to

*pull* the sheet tight to the sealing washer.

Repeat of comment in earlier thread..... uninsulated steel roofing plus frosty night = morning condensation drips. Single skin asbestos cement is porous and seems to cycle condensate without dripping.

Not so. My single pitch garage roof is single corrugated asbestos panels and drips badly after a frosty night.

The slope angle of the roof may decide whether the drips run down or drip off. Does anyone know the critical angle? ( but it probabaly depands on the material)

Apex roofs with steeper slopes may acheive sufficient pitch angle to prevent dripping.

Is the underside of the roof painted? I made the mistake of slapping some masonry paint on the underside of some very old and mucky asbestos-cement sheets, and they drip in certain weather conditions when other (unpainted) parts of the same roof don't. They leak, as well, but that's another story. This a single pitch roof, around 10 degrees iirc.

You amaze me! I have several BS5502 steel framed barns with cement bonded fibre big 6 roofing and no drips.

Agricultural pitch is around 12.5 degrees.

Hmm.. see comment elsewhere about sealing with paint.
