How to Choose the Right Roofing Sheet

When it comes to roofing options, there has never been more choice on the market. Corrugated roofing sheets are increasingly popular, and compare well to more traditional methods in terms of cost, durability, ease of installation and insulation.

Insulated roofing sheets are now considered crucial for an energy-efficient building.  High quality insulation will keep the building warmer in winter and cooler in summer, lowering your energy bills. It is estimated that up to one-third of all heat can be lost through a poorly insulated building. You will therefore see a return on your investment year on year.

At Foregale, we stock insulated sheeting in a range of materials, sizes, and colours. For industrial buildings, Double Skin is a popular choice. As well as creating cavities, it has the advantage of covering cladding rails to form an inner wall that can be cleaned easily. For pitched roofs of 4° or more, we stock Kingspan KS1000RW.

Over Clad is a great option if you want to insulate your building without a full wall or roof replacement. The building will look as good as new and will have many extra years of life!  Thermoclad is designed for covering both roofs and walls. They are not only excellent insulators, but also reduce rain noise and condensation.

In the British climate, durability and ease of maintenance is an important factor in any roofing project. Foregale offers fibre cement roofing sheets which are strong and hard-wearing.  You will find that they are energy efficient and easy to install and maintain.

Profile 6 fibre cement sheets are reinforced with polypropylene strips, and mainly used in industrial and agricultural roofing.  Profile 3 has a lower profile, for use in domestic and light industrial buildings. Both types are more resistant to rot, water damage, warping, fire damage, termites, and permanent water damage than traditional materials.

 Foregale also stocks a wide range of other materials such as corrugated roofing screws, concrete reinforcement bars, and sheet metal flashings.  To make an order or enquiry, get in touch with Foregale today.
