FAQs
What is the primary material of these roofing sheets?
The roofing sheets are manufactured from galvanised steel, providing strength and resistance to corrosion.
How much area does one pack of 14 sheets cover?
When used together with appropriate overlapping, one pack of 14 sheets provides approximately 7 square meters of coverage.
Do the sheets come with pre-drilled holes?
No, the sheets are supplied without pre-drilled holes. This allows for maximum flexibility in positioning and fixing them according to your specific project needs.
Are these sheets suitable for use in coastal areas?
The galvanised steel with a rust-resistant finish offers good durability. However, in highly corrosive environments like coastal areas, regular inspection and maintenance may be necessary to ensure longevity.
Can I paint these roofing sheets?
Yes, you can paint the sheets. Ensure the surface is clean and dry, and use a primer suitable for galvanised metal before applying your chosen topcoat for best results.

The colour of these roofing sheets is anthracite.
Are ridge caps included in the pack?
No, ridge caps are not included in this pack of roofing sheets. They are sold separately but are compatible with this product.
Troubleshooting
Sheets are difficult to cut cleanly.
Ensure you are using the correct cutting tool for metal sheets. A fine-toothed blade on a jigsaw or an angle grinder with a metal cutting disc often provides the cleanest cut. Practice on a scrap piece first.
Water leaks are appearing after installation.
Check that sheets are adequately overlapped and that all fixings are secure and sealed with washers. Ensure that sheets were cut and positioned correctly to maintain a continuous waterproof surface. Inspect for any damage to the sheets or coating.
Sheets are noisy in wind or rain.
Ensure sheets are securely fastened to the underlying structure at regular intervals. Using roofing screws with rubber washers can help to dampen vibrations. Proper insulation beneath the roofing can also reduce noise.
Rust spots are appearing on the surface.
While galvanised steel is rust-resistant, prolonged exposure to certain environments or damage to the coating can lead to rust. Clean the affected area gently and consider applying a metal primer and paint suitable for galvanised surfaces.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup:
Plan Layout: Determine the desired coverage area and how the sheets will overlap.
Measure and Cut: Measure accurately and use appropriate tools (e.g., tin snips, angle grinder with metal cutting disc) to cut sheets to size. *Always wear safety glasses and gloves.*
Position Sheets: Lay the first sheet, ensuring it is level and aligned.
Overlap and Fix: Overlap subsequent sheets by at least one corrugation. Secure sheets to the underlying structure (e.g., wooden battens or metal purlins) using roofing screws with neoprene washers, typically at the high point of the corrugation.
Ridge Caps: For a professional finish and added weather protection, consider using compatible Harbour Housewares Metal Roofing Ridge Caps (sold separately).

Care:
