• available in fourteen different lengths ranging from 4′ to 10′ 6″
• sheets are approximately 40% wider than traditional 3″ profile which allows for much better coverage per sheet
• superior water shedding capacity due to the profile of its corrugations

Installer advantages

B5 sheets have a small overlap, and as sheets are approximately 40% wider than comparative products, so it offers a much better coverage per sheet. This has the advantage of decreasing the weight of the roof covering. There is less side lap and overhang, and increased maximum end lap. B5 can be laid to a 5° pitch for small roof areas if the end laps are extended to 300mm and are double sealed with mastic strips.
