Apclad
Rib Height: 29mm
Apclad Roofing

Apclad is a modern roofing profile that is available in very long lengths. Made from Hi-Tensile steel, this profile whilst strong is also lightweight, hence minimising sheet damage.

Apclad is pierced fixed which ensures easy fixing as this is the conventional method. Apclad is weather protected as the side laps ensure maximum protection from the elements. The wide cover of 762mm allows for quicker installation, saving on both materials and labour.

Designed for almost flat roofing applications, Apclad can be used on a minimum roof pitch of 2 degrees (1 in 27). Deep ribs allow wide support spacings and provide excellent water carrying capabilities. Apclad is an economical and versatile profile, available custom cut to length and is ideal for both roofing and walling.

COMPATIBILITY
ZINCALUME® steel sheeting is compatible with most roofing products. It is NOT recommended to use lead flashing/nails, copper or copper alloy materials with or in run-off situations.

CUTTING
Apex Building Products provides this service, however sheets may be cut using a power saw with a metal cutting blade. COLORBOND® steel sheeting must be cut with the coloured surface facing the ground. Ensure that no hot particles or debris come into contact with the COLORBOND® .

Clean soft soled shoes should be worn when walking on sheets.
