The
Indian roofing sector has witnessed an evolution in the past decade. This
evolution can be attributed to the industrialization and commercialization
taking place at a fast pace not just in India, but worldwide. Add to this,
people are now well informed with their options before they make any decisions
when looking for siding or roofing solutions. Today,
there are a variety of roofing & siding options available such as metal,
polycarbonate, plastic, fibreglass, fibrecement, GI, etc. As such, one of the
best roofing and siding options in metal roofing sheets is that
of corrugated steel sheets. Thanks to their strength and durability, corrugated
metal panels have always found their application in roofing and siding for
commercial, agricultural and industrial purposes since decades now. They are
now gaining popularity as an ideal roofing and siding choice in the residential
sector as well. Mentioned below are some of the reasons that make corrugated
sheets an ideal choice for industrial, commercial and residential roofing &
siding option.
The
most commonly used corrugated sheets are made of steel. Steel is an amazing
alloy inheriting the superior tensile strength of iron and light weightedness
of carbon and other elements. The grooves add to to the strength and makes the
sheet impact resistant while also increasing the load bearing capacity. This
also gives corrugated steel sheets a higher strength to weight ratio as
compared to any other construction material. Listed below are some of the
advantages of using a steel corrugated sheet for roofing
and siding purposes
●
Long Lasting & Durable: Steel in itself is
a highly long lasting material(can last upto 30 years) and corrugation just
adds 20 more years to its life. As understood from above, the rippled shape of
corrugated sheets renders more surface area contributing to the durability. The
groove shape provides minimal plain area thereby avoiding bends & cracks
caused by objects falling on the surface.
●
Braves Weather and Other Environmental Hazards
Corrugated
steel sheets are engineered such that they can withstand a wide range of harsh
weather conditions, bear amazing weight and resist damage frequently faced by
industries such as fire, pests, tornadoes, moisture penetration etc. The
composition of steel also discourages the growth of molds and algaes and
protects against rust. A corrugated siding will never warp or buckle. In fact,
it is four-times more resistant to warping, buckling or thermal expansion than
vinyl siding products.
●
Easy to Install: Since corrugated steel sheets
are lightweight, they are easy to install and handle. As roofs, they do not put
undue weight to the buiding structure; as sidings, they are tough against
lateral wind pressure and safer than heavier alternatives.
