Sheet Overlap Guidance
Correct overlap is essential for weather protection.
Side Overlap (Width Direction):
Minimum 1 corrugation overlap.
End Overlap (Length Direction):
Minimum 150mm for standard installations.
Increase to 200mm+ on lower roof pitches.
Minimum Recommended Roof Pitch:
Generally 10° or greater for effective water runoff.
Always ensure sheets are securely fixed at every corrugation at overlaps.
Quick Installation Guide
-
Prepare the Roof Structure
Ensure adequate support battens or purlins are installed at suitable centres. -
Position the First Sheet
Start from the lowest edge of the roof and work upwards. -
Allow for Expansion
Pre-drill fixing holes slightly oversized to allow for natural expansion and contraction. -
Use Appropriate Fixings
Use roofing screws with sealing washers to prevent water ingress. -
Overlap Correctly
Maintain minimum side and end overlaps. -
Do Not Over-Tighten Fixings
Tighten enough to seal — but avoid compressing the sheet.
Storage & Handling Guidance
To maintain sheet clarity and performance:
-
Store flat on a level surface
-
Keep sheets covered and out of direct sunlight before installation
-
Do not stack unevenly
-
Avoid placing heavy objects on top
-
Handle carefully to avoid scratching
Sheets stored in direct sunlight prior to installation may experience distortion due to heat build-up.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is a 3 ASB profile?
3 ASB refers to the corrugated wave pattern of the sheet. It must match your existing corrugated roofing profile for proper fitting and overlap.
Can these sheets be used as a full roof?
Yes, they can be used as a full lightweight roof covering or installed as roof light panels within a larger corrugated roof system.
Are clear PVC corrugated sheets strong?
At 0.8mm thick, these sheets are lightweight yet durable for standard domestic and agricultural roofing applications. They must be properly supported and fixed.
Can I cut PVC corrugated sheets?
Yes. Sheets can be cut using fine-tooth saws or suitable cutting tools. Always support the sheet fully during cutting.
Do these sheets turn yellow over time?
Clear PVC sheets may gradually lose some clarity depending on exposure conditions. Proper installation and storage before fitting helps maintain appearance.
What fixings should I use?
Use roofing screws with sealing washers designed for corrugated roofing sheets. Fix through the crest of the corrugation unless specified otherwise by your roofing design.
