Die Draadwerf Corrugated Roof Sheeting
Die Draadwerf is a premium supplier of high-quality roof sheeting solutions, including corrugated roof sheeting.
Corrugated is the traditional and familiar S-Rib profile for roofing and cladding applications. It is the oldest and most used roofing profile due to its easy handling and fixing properties, and related strength. The S-Rib is derived from sinus curve and offers very strong and structural properties.
This wavy corrugated profile is the most well-known profiled sheeting globally, commonly used to cover residential roofs, carports, sheds, and more.
The ‘8.5/76’ refers to the ‘8.5’ corrugations over the width of the sheet and the ‘76’ refers to the distance in millimetres between two consecutive curves. The Corrugated Profile virtually eliminates oil canning, and the sheeting can be factory cranked, curved, and bull nosed to various radii, in accordance with customer requirements. The effective cover width of an 8.5 Corrugated Sheet is 700 mm and that of a 10.5 Corrugated Sheet is 800 mm.
Corrugated Roof Sheeting is highly fashionable in South Africa, adopted as the preferred roof covering for homeowners in some of our country’s finest residential estates. This is due to its affordability, even in low-cost housing projects and standard home renovations.
Corrugated Roof Sheeting Structural Guidelines
Corrugated Roof Sheets are available in a wide range of materials displaying various structural properties. It should be noted that the load span characteristics are only to be used as a broad guideline, as purlin spacing is also dependant on other factors, such as the prevailing winds in a certain area; snow during the winter months; the presence of dust and other particles in industrial areas; and the type of structure that is being erected; etc. We therefore recommend that an engineer be consulted to determine the purlin spacing for a specific application.
Available Corrugated Roof Sheeting Dimensions
Corrugated Sheeting is available in standard lengths of 1.8 m to 14 m. However, lengths of up to 20 m are available on request. The permissible length tolerance for the standard-length range will be -0 + 5 mm. Sheets outside these parameters are available on request and may be subject to special pricing. The maximum height which can be transported is 4.3 m. This factor should be considered when bullnoses and curves are designed.

Die Draadwerf IBR Roof Sheeting
Die Draadwerf supplies IBR Roof Sheeting products. The name IBR is abbreviated from ‘Inverted Box Rib’ and has become a household name in the South African building industry.
IBR is a square fluted profile with an effective covering width of 686 mm, designed for use as side cladding or roofing material in commercial, industrial, and residential buildings. The deep, broad flute design offers excellent drainage characteristics combined with optimum weight versus load/span capabilities. IBR can be factory cranked, curved, and bull nosed to various radii depending on customer requirements.
IBR Roof Sheeting is aesthetically pleasing, making it an especially popular profile adopted in upmarket residential estates. Homeowners are spoiled for choice when it comes to roof slopes, as IBR Roof Sheeting is ideal for roofs from 5° up to 50° slopes.

IBR Roof Pitch
When using IBR, the recommended minimum pitch is 7.5° for roof slopes in excess of 30 m and 5° for slopes less than 30 m. When IBR roof sheets are end-lapped, the roof pitch should be considered. The minimum end laps for roof pitches in excess of 15° is 150 mm and for other roofs a minimum of 250 mm is recommended. End laps for side sheeting should be at least 100 mm.
It is recommended that end and side laps on low pitch roofs be sealed to ensure water tightness.
Die Draadwerf Widespan Roof Sheeting
Widespan is a roofing and cladding profile designed to provide an economic alternative to deeper Box Rib profiles without losing the aesthetic appeal of a square fluted profile.
The trapezoidal Widespan profile offers greater spans and lower roof slopes than Corrugated sheeting but provides the same covering width. Widespan can be factory cranked, curved and bullnosed to various radii depending on customers’ requirements. Structural guidelines Widespan roof sheets are available in a wide range of materials displaying various structural properties.
It should be noted that the load span characteristics are only to be used as a broad guideline, as purlin spacing is also dependent on other weather factors winds.
