Sadly, there is only the 90 degree corner option available. We could make a custom metal flashing to suit if required. Of which we would need dimensions and angle needed.

Hi Evan, maintenance can vary between material finish and location, i.e if your near the coast you will need more maintenance than in-land locations. Our leathergrain coating has great durability and requires less frequent maintenance.

Thank you ZussieMakesit, reallygood to hear our video helped you. Have a great day.

Hi GW, our composite batten cladding is B rated, which means it is combustible due to it being a wood plastic composite. Hope that helps. Here is a link to some further information: www.southernsheeting.co.uk/batten-cladding-product-page.html

@@SouthernSheetingSuppliesLtd Thankyou for getting back to me I’m looking for something which will satisfy the requirements for Building Control for fire safety due to my garden building being less than a metre from the boundary Your product looks great 👍🏼 but unfortunately for me I can’t use it

​@@GazlarW Hi, have you thought about using another cladding material like fibre cement based which is fire-resistance rating A2-s1, d0 with 50-year life expectancy. We do two types and are both approved for building control, the aesthetics are different but might be worth looking at. www.southernsheeting.co.uk/weatherboard-product-page.html

@@SouthernSheetingSuppliesLtd thanks I will take a look 👍🏼

Hello Jannick, we had an agency create it for us, so unfortunately we dont know, sorry.

Hello, if you referring to a steel flew coming out of the roof the answer is yes, the dektite pipe flashings work well however it also depends on the size of the pipe and how far down the roof the pipe is exiting. It is quite common to use what we call a ski slope flashing in the industry, this comes down from the ridge and passes the pipe by say 300mm for example, it bridges the corrugations of the sheet and you would need to insulate under the flashing and use a profile foam filler to block of the end however it gives a much flatter surface for the dektite to be fixed too, no need to mould it around the profile and it also eliminates the pipe becoming a dam in the valley of the profile. There are other things to consider with any roof penetration as this increases the chance of a potential leak later, it may be worth considering doing a side exit and running the chimney out of the wall and up.

Thanks Sharad! Glad we could help :)

Hi Mary, If you screwed on the top of the profile (high points) it would compress the profile, possibly bending it. You'd also need a much longer screws to reach the wood/metal. Hope this helps.

@@SouthernSheetingSuppliesLtd I was told on the hight points as water runs down the low points and can get in where a on the high points water cant run down ?

@@maryellis3661 Hi Mary, No its a common misconception that you have to fix on the crown. It is absolutely correct to screw your main fixings in the valley as the neoprene washer on the fixing needs a hard flat surface to bed in correctly. Hope that helps :)

Glad we could help

Nick - This is worng advice. Special saddle washers should be used if fixing through the crown of the sheet to avoid denting. Please refer to a number of manufacturers installation guides on box profile. You are however correct if fitting corrugated profiled steel sheets.

@@duncankingston50 OK, I'll qualify my advice. In practical terms, there is never a case for putting the screws in the valleys, even for box profile roofing. Don't allow anyone to do this to your roof unless you can be sure they will be around in twenty years time to fix the damage caused when the washers fail. And some of the the washers will fail because roofers always over or under tighten some roofing screws. My objection is that the video shows this as 'the' way to fix roofing sheets, and does not warn users of the potential pitfalls. It's simply a risk roofers don't have to take.

​@@nickreid5297​ You haven't warned users of anything either. Too obvious to spell out? What sort of comment is that? If you have something to say, say it, or keep it to yourself

@@007alztruli OK, I'll spell it out for you. If you put screws in the valleys, water will eventually leak through, rotting out the roof structure. This will happen if the roofer over or under tightens the screw, or years down the track when the washers deteriorate.

​@@nickreid5297i think the tricky bit is that with this box type cladding you have a flat top not rounded like with corrugated sheets that means you can not tighten the screws enough as the flat will pull down, an arch has more structure. Therefore you will bend it and the washer wont sit right and wont be pinched right. My 2 cents anyway. I am installing my roof in the next few days.

The thicker material is more rigid, and can therefore span a greater distance.

Thanks Philip.

If using the correct fixings with EPDM washers, tighteneted correctly, this should not be an issue. I would check the type of screw used.

I have to agree and have done many small roofs with these sheets and always fix through the ridges. My thinking like yours: If any fixing might leak then at least it's at the highest point whereas if fixed through the 'valley' Sod's law says it will be at the lower end of the sheet at the point where. most of the water will be, i.e. in the middle of a river. Likewise I've never seen the sense of fixing roofing felt with nails. If you search on youtube you'll find more than one channel on these sheets recommending fixing on the high points.

Yes. Yes you do.

That is great to hear David and hope our video helped you. Have a good day :)

Hi Adrian, many thanks for your comment and we can certainly help you with your question. If you would like to call us on 01342 315300 and we will be more than happy to help you. Have a good day.

You should fix the main fixings to the low part of the profile - the video is correct. This method avoids denting the crown and ensures a firmer fixing point as the screw engaes straight into the joist.
