Box Profile Roofing Sheets

Buying box profile roofing sheets direct from the manufacturer

Box profile (32/1000) is the most popular metal roofing sheet in the UK for garages, workshops, agricultural buildings, stables and industrial units. Its deep trapezoidal ribs make it stiff and quick to fit, and every sheet gives a 1 m cover width once lapped, so working out how many you need is simple: divide the roof width by 1 m and round up.

Which coating should I choose?

• Plastisol coated: the hardest-wearing finish, with a thick textured coating that resists scratches, corrosion and UV. The best choice for homes, farms and anywhere looks matter.
• Polyester coated: a smooth painted finish at a lower price, ideal for sheds, stores and outbuildings.
• Plain galvanised: zinc-coated steel with no paint layer, the most economical option for agricultural and utility buildings.

0.5mm or 0.7mm?

0.5 mm sheets suit most garages, sheds and domestic roofs with standard purlin spacing. Choose 0.7 mm for wider purlin spans, exposed or windy sites, walk-on maintenance and commercial buildings where extra rigidity matters.

Anti-condensation backing

Metal roofs over unheated buildings can drip condensation. Our anti-condensation option bonds a fleece layer to the underside of the sheet to absorb and release moisture. We recommend it for garages, workshops, animal housing and anywhere you store vehicles, tools or feed.

Complete the roof

Order colour-matched ridge, barge and eaves flashings, roofing screws, foam infill fillers and box profile rooflights in the same order so everything arrives together.

Box profile roofing sheets: FAQs

How long can box profile sheets be?

We roll box profile sheets to any length you choose online, up to 12 m, in millimetre-accurate lengths. For longer runs, sheets are overlapped on site.

How many sheets do I need?

Measure the roof width along the eaves and divide by 1 m (the cover width), rounding up. Measure the slope from ridge to eaves, adding an overhang, to get the sheet length.
