Box Profile Roofing Sheets FAQs
Box profile roofing consists of metal sheets, typically made from steel, that are shaped into a square, trapezoidal profile. This design provides excellent strength and is a highly effective, modern, and durable solution for covering a wide range of buildings, from garden rooms and garages to agricultural and commercial structures.
Box profile roofing offers a fantastic combination of strength, longevity, and cost-effectiveness. It is lightweight yet very strong, quick to install, requires minimal maintenance, and is available in a wide range of colours. It provides a robust, weatherproof seal that lasts for decades.
Its versatility makes it an ideal roofing solution for many applications, including:
Garden rooms, home offices, and summerhouses
Garages and workshops
Carports
Loggias and covered patios
Agricultural buildings like barns and stables
Commercial and industrial units
Our box profile sheets are made from high-quality galvanised steel. This steel base is then treated with protective coatings and a final colour layer, which makes it extremely resistant to rust, corrosion, and weather damage.
With professional installation, you can expect a box profile roof to last for 25 to 40 years or even longer. The multi-layered coating protects the steel core from the elements, ensuring a very long and reliable service life.
This is a common concern, but modern installation techniques greatly reduce noise. When installed correctly over a proper sub-structure with appropriate insulation, the sound of rain is significantly dampened, making it comparable to many other roofing types.
It performs exceptionally well. The sheets are designed to handle heavy rain, snow, and high winds. The overlapping profile and secure fixing system create a completely watertight and wind-resistant barrier, protecting the building underneath.
We use high-quality, UV-resistant colour coatings. While any exterior product may experience very slight mellowing over many years of sun exposure, these modern coatings are designed to be highly fade-resistant, ensuring your roof holds its colour for a very long time.
We offer a wide selection of colours to suit any project, from modern greys and black to traditional greens and reds. This allows you to either match your roof to existing features or create a bold, contemporary statement.
Yes, absolutely. We can integrate high-quality, transparent GRP rooflights that match the box profile perfectly. This is an excellent way to allow natural light into the building below without compromising the roof's integrity.
The sheets typically have a smooth, durable finish with a slight sheen. This finish is not only aesthetically pleasing but also helps to prevent dirt and debris from accumulating, allowing rain to wash the surface clean.
Yes. A professional finish is essential. We provide a full range of custom-made flashings for ridges, corners, eaves, and verges, all colour-matched to your roofing sheets. This ensures a neat, fully sealed, and weatherproof result.
The sheets are laid onto a sub-structure of purlins (horizontal roof supports) and fixed in place using specialised, self-drilling screws. These screws have a colour-matched head and a rubber washer to create a watertight seal at every fixing point.
Your roof will be installed by the skilled, directly employed teams at Outdoor Makeover Group. We have extensive experience in fitting metal roofing systems, guaranteeing a professional and high-quality installation.
One of the advantages of box profile roofing is its speed of installation. For a standard-sized garage or garden room, the installation can often be completed in just a day or two, minimising disruption to your property.
We highly recommend it, especially for occupied spaces like garden rooms or workshops. We can install an anti-condensation membrane or a full insulation system (like composite panel roofing) underneath to regulate temperature, prevent condensation, and reduce noise.
It is virtually maintenance-free. We recommend an annual check to ensure gutters are clear of leaves and debris, but the roof itself does not require any regular treatment. Its durable finish is designed to last without intervention.
While the sheets are very tough, severe accidental impact could cause damage. One of the benefits of this system is that a single damaged sheet can usually be removed and replaced without having to disturb the entire roof.
Yes. It offers excellent value for money. The combination of a reasonable material cost, fast installation, and a very long, maintenance-free lifespan makes it one of the most cost-effective roofing solutions available over the long term.
