Steel Roofing & Cladding Profile Guide
We manufacture steel roofing sheets, wall cladding and liner profiles in a range of industry-standard profiles. Each profile is designed for specific applications — from domestic garages and garden buildings through to large-span agricultural and industrial roofing. This guide explains the key features of each profile to help you choose the right one for your project.
R1000 — Box Profile 32/1000 (Roofing)
The R1000 is a 32mm high box profile with 1000mm sheet coverage. It is the most popular and widely used steel roofing profile in the UK. The trapezoidal rib design provides excellent strength and water run-off, and the flat pans make it easy to walk on during installation.
Profile height: 32mm
Coverage: 1000mm per sheet
Thickness: 0.7mm (0.5mm available on request)
Max length: 8 metres
Best for: Garages, sheds, barns, warehouses, workshops, domestic extensions, industrial roofing

RWA6 — Box Profile 38/914 (Roofing)
The RWA6 is a 38mm high box profile with 914mm sheet coverage. The deeper profile provides greater strength than the standard 32mm R1000, making it suitable for larger roof spans and areas with higher wind loading requirements. It can also be used as structural decking.
Profile height: 38mm
Coverage: 914mm per sheet
Thickness: 0.7mm (0.5mm available on request)
Max length: 8 metres
Best for: Agricultural buildings, large-span roofing, high wind areas, structural decking

13/3 Corrugated (Roofing & Cladding)
The 13/3 corrugated profile is the classic UK roofing sheet — 13 corrugations across 3 feet of width. It has been used for over a century on farms, sheds and industrial buildings. The sinusoidal wave shape provides excellent strength-to-weight ratio and efficient water drainage. It is also the ideal profile for replacing old corrugated iron or asbestos cement sheets.
Profile height: ~18mm
Coverage: ~1000mm per sheet
Thickness: 0.7mm and 0.5mm
Max length: 8 metres
Best for: Sheds, barns, stables, lean-tos, replacement roofing, agricultural buildings

V/Tile 1000 — Villa Tile Effect (Roofing)
The V/Tile 1000 replicates the appearance of traditional villa-style roof tiles using lightweight pressed steel. Each sheet covers 1000mm and can be cut to any length, making installation significantly faster than laying individual tiles. The tile effect profile is ideal where a traditional roofing appearance is desired without the weight and cost of clay or concrete tiles.
Coverage: 1000mm per sheet
Thickness: 0.7mm
Min length: 450mm
Max length: 8 metres
Best for: Domestic roofing, extensions, garages, porches, garden rooms, planning-sensitive projects

V/Tile 1100 — Pan Tile Effect (Roofing)
The V/Tile 1100 replicates the appearance of traditional pan tiles. It offers 100mm more coverage per sheet than the V/Tile 1000 (1100mm vs 1000mm), meaning fewer sheets are needed and installation is faster. The wider coverage makes it the more economical tile effect option on larger roof areas.
Coverage: 1100mm per sheet
Thickness: 0.7mm
Min length: 450mm
Max length: 8 metres
Best for: Domestic roofing, extensions, garages, commercial buildings, holiday parks

C1000 — Box Profile 32/1000 (Wall Cladding)
The C1000 is the wall cladding equivalent of the R1000 roofing sheet. Same 32mm box profile, same 1000mm coverage — designed specifically for vertical wall applications. It is the most widely used steel wall cladding profile in the UK. Pair with R1000 roofing sheets for a coordinated roof and wall finish.
Profile height: 32mm
Coverage: 1000mm per sheet
Thickness: 0.7mm and 0.5mm
Max length: 8 metres
Best for: Warehouses, workshops, factories, farm buildings, garages, commercial units

CWA6 — Box Profile 38/914 (Wall Cladding)
The CWA6 is the wall cladding equivalent of the RWA6 roofing sheet. The 38mm profile depth provides greater strength for taller wall spans and higher wind load requirements. Pair with RWA6 roofing sheets for a coordinated finish on agricultural and industrial buildings.
Profile height: 38mm
Coverage: 914mm per sheet
Thickness: 0.7mm and 0.5mm
Max length: 8 metres

V40 Bold Roll (Wall Cladding)
The V40 Bold Roll is a modern, deep-ribbed wall cladding sheet with a bold architectural appearance. Its distinctive profile creates strong shadow lines that give buildings a clean, contemporary look.
