BPA galvanised flat steel, matt polyester — RAL 7016 8017 9005 — 2000 mm sheets

Flat sheet is useful when a detail has to fit the building rather than a standard component. A sheet can be cut into roof flashings, edge covers, window sills or façade trims. At SteelProfil we help match thickness, surface protection and sheet size to the work, so the material forms as intended and suits the rest of the project.

A flat sheet can be fabricated to site measurements on a new roof or an older building. The installer can form an eaves flashing, verge trim, parapet cap or wall abutment. Matching colour and finish ties these elements to the roof covering. Small flashings can make the roof and façade look consistent. This flexibility is especially useful on a retrofit where the existing dimensions dictate the detail.

• Cutting and folding the sheet makes it possible to match the actual building dimensions.
• The coating and colour can be chosen to match the flashing to the roof.
• Laying out several components on one sheet makes better use of the material you buy.

Depending on the application, consider galvanised sheet, another suitable metallic coating or an organically coated finish. Matching the finish matters on visible components; exposure may matter more on technical parts. Thickness affects stiffness and forming, so select it for the size and function of the flashing. A narrow cover strip and a wide parapet cap have different requirements.

Before buying, determine the developed width of each component, meaning the width needed before folding. This makes it possible to compare sheet sizes by material yield rather than unit price alone. For a run of sills or covers, plan the cuts so that successive parts fit the chosen format. We can convert the fabricator’s schedule into a sheet quantity, taking account of the use and which face will be on show.

SteelProfil offers first- and second-grade sheets, with some sizes available from stock. Compare the characteristics of each batch with how visible the component will be and how you plan to cut it. For small flashings, sheet sizes that would not suit a large uninterrupted surface can be a good buy. This helps match the cost of the material to the finish the building requires.

Promotional sheets can help contractors and homeowners keep renovation costs down. Send the sheet dimensions or a cutting list and we will check the available options. If you are also ordering the roof covering, we can match the flashing finish. You will receive a material proposal showing which sheets suit the parts you need and how they will look together.
