Widespan Profile
Widespan Profile - PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
Widespan is a high-performance trapezoidal steel roofing and wall cladding profile engineered to deliver outstanding strength, efficiency, and value. Designed with a 760 mm effective cover width and a 29 mm rib depth, Widespan offers the clean, modern appearance of a conventional IBR profile while providing increased coverage and improved installation efficiency.
Manufactured to the highest quality standards, Widespan is ideally suited to industrial, commercial, agricultural, and residential applications where durability, structural performance, and cost-effectiveness are essential.
FEATURES & BENEFITS
- Wider Effective Cover – With a 760 mm cover width, Widespan covers more roof area per sheet, reducing the total number of sheets required.
- Reduced Material Costs – The wider profile can deliver material savings of approximately 10% when compared with conventional IBR roofing profiles.
- Faster Installation – Fewer sheets to install means reduced installation time, lower labour costs, and improved project efficiency.
- Superior Structural Performance – The trapezoidal rib design provides greater spanning capability than traditional corrugated sheeting, allowing wider purlin spacing and reducing supporting steel requirements.
- Cost-Effective Roofing Solution – Lower material quantities, fewer support members, and faster installation combine to reduce overall project costs.
- Architectural Flexibility – Widespan can be factory cranked, curved, or bullnosed to accommodate a wide range of architectural and roofing designs.
- Long-Term Reliability – Manufactured from premium-quality coated steel, Widespan delivers exceptional durability and dependable performance in demanding environments.
SHEET LENGTHS
Widespan sheeting is custom manufactured to suit individual project requirements in lengths of up to 13.2 meters, subject to normal transport limitations. Longer sheet lengths can be supplied where specialised transport arrangements are available.
RECOMMENDED MINIMUM ROOF PITCH
For optimum weatherproof performance and efficient water drainage, the following minimum roof pitches are recommended:
- 7.5° for roof slopes up to 15 meters in length.
- 10° for roof slopes exceeding 15 meters in length.
These recommendations are intended to maximise long-term roof performance while ensuring effective rainwater runoff under normal operating conditions.
