Profiled Metal Roofing Design Guide

Profiled steel or aluminium sheets are used in various roof constructions. The guidance in this document applies in principle to all of these constructions, but primarily to the double skin system with trapezoidal or secret fix profiled sheets, which is the most common type of metal roof construction used in the UK.
Sinusoidal profiles (for example corrugated iron) are not used for modern industrial and commercial roofs and they are not covered by this guide.

Secret fix systems and composite panels are both described fully in separate MCRMA technical guides.

The guidance in this document is generally consistent with that in BS5427 The Code of Practice for the use of Profiled Sheet for Roof and Wall Cladding on Buildings.
