Installation

We supply all our Roofing Sheets to specific lengths to suit your project, reducing the need to cut metal sheets yourself. However, if this doesn’t to be done, we recommend using Aviation Tin Snips for a clean cut. Find out more here.

When installing Roofing Sheets, it is important to lap each sheet by a minimum of one profile. Lapping the Sheets enables any rainwater to drain off the roof and not seep underneath the sheets and into the building below. Lapping the sheets also prevents dirt, debris and vermin from entering. See our installation guides here to see how to install your roofing sheets correctly.

When fitting your roofing project, there are several additional materials you may require. Dripstop can be added to your sheets in the manufacturing process. Flashings, ridges, foam fillers and fixings are also additional materials you may need. Use our Roofing Calculator here to see what you may need for your project.

Self-Tapping Screws are used when installing your Cladco Roofing Sheets. Self-Tapping Screws have a drill bit style end, meaning the Screws do not need to be predrilled and can efficiently attach two materials with relative ease. See our installation guides here for more information.

Cladco Tileform Roofing Sheets can be easier and quicker to install compared to individual clay tiles. Find out more about Cladco Tileform Roofing Sheets here.
