Protect Your Property with Quality Roofing Solutions
Roofing sheets serve as essential building materials for residential and commercial structures across Australia. These versatile roofing materials come in two primary types: galvanised metal sheets and polycarbonate sheets, each offering distinct advantages for different applications. Our roofing supplies cater to both residential and commercial requirements, delivering high-quality roofing solutions that meet Australian standards.

How to Choose the Right Roofing Sheets for Your Project
When selecting roof sheets, consider your specific application and environmental conditions. Metal sheets, such as our 12 PCs Corrugated Roof Sheets, provide excellent durability for structures requiring long-term weather resistance. Made from galvanised metal with a 0.3mm thickness, these corrugated roofing sheets offer a 10-15-year lifespan with corrosion resistance. They are suitable for applications such as sheds, carports, and agricultural buildings.
Polycarbonate roofing sheets offer various benefits, particularly for applications that require light transmission. Our 16mm Polycarbonate Roofing Sheets feature triple-wall construction with UV protection and operate within a service temperature range of -40°C to +120°C. For lighter applications, consider our 10mm Polycarbonate Roofing Sheets, which offer excellent value while maintaining UV resistance and structural integrity.
Consider factors such as load-bearing requirements, weather exposure, and natural light needs when making your selection. Both materials are easy to install with proper fastening systems and provide reliable coverage for Australian conditions. Whether you need sheeting for a pergola roof or wall cladding for commercial projects, our range of products ensures you find the product to suit your needs.

FAQs
What Are Roofing Sheets?
Roofing sheets are flat or corrugated panels made from materials like galvanised metal or polycarbonate. They provide weather protection and structural coverage for buildings, sheds, carports, and other structures, serving both roofing and walling purposes.
Which Type Of Roofing Sheet Is Best?
The best type depends on your specific needs. Metal sheets offer superior durability and weather resistance for permanent structures. For projects that require both lightness and durability, polycarbonate sheets are an excellent fit, especially in applications such as conservatories and pergolas.
Can You Paint PVC Roofing Sheets?
Polycarbonate sheets typically don't require painting as they come with integral colour and UV protection. However, if painting is necessary, use paints specifically designed for plastic surfaces and ensure that the surface is properly prepared.
Are Metal Roofing Sheets Better Than Plastic Ones?
Metal sheets generally offer better durability and weather resistance, lasting 10-15 years or more with low maintenance requirements. Polycarbonate sheets offer benefits such as light transmission and impact resistance, but their lifespan may be shorter, depending on UV exposure and environmental conditions.
Are Roofing Sheets Waterproof And Weather-Resistant?
Yes, both metal and polycarbonate roofing sheets provide waterproof coverage when properly installed with appropriate overlap and fastening systems. Metal sheets offer excellent weather resistance, while polycarbonate sheets include UV protection to prevent degradation and maintain insulating properties.
What Are The Benefits Of Using Corrugated Roofing Sheets?
Corrugated roofing sheets provide increased structural strength due to their wave-like profile, improved drainage, and enhanced load-bearing capacity. The corrugated design also provides better resistance to bending and pressure compared to flat sheets, making them ideal for roofing applications.
How Much Does It Cost To Install Roofing Sheets?
Installation costs vary based on project size, complexity, and local rates. DIY installation can reduce costs, but professional installation ensures proper weatherproofing and structural integrity. Consider factors like roof pitch, fastening requirements, and safety considerations when planning your roofing project.
What Applications Suit Different Types of Roofing Sheets?
Metal sheets are well-suited for permanent structures, such as sheds, garages, and carports, that require long-term durability and stability. Polycarbonate sheets are suitable for applications where light transmission is desired, such as pergolas, conservatories, patio covers, and greenhouse materials, where the amount of sunlight needs to be controlled.
