Putting a metal roof together
A metal roof is more than the sheets. This category brings together the parts that usually go on the same order, so the steel and the pieces that finish it arrive together.
The roof sheets here are all Colorbond steel. Corrugated roofing is the familiar wave profile, sold in 0.42 and 0.48 BMT. Trimdek has a deeper square rib and is listed for pitches down to 2 degrees. Metlok 700 is a concealed-fix profile held down by Metlok 700 clips, with no screw heads on the roof face. To compare profiles and colours side by side, see Colorbond roofing.
Every sheet needs finishing at the edges and joins. Metal roof flashing covers ridges, aprons and walls, and barge flashing closes off the gable ends. Roofing screws hold through-fixed sheets down, with sealing washers to keep each fixing dry.
Under and around the sheets, roof insulation goes in before the steel, and roof ventilation lets hot air out of the roof space once it is closed in.
Matching an existing roof? Check the profile before anything else. Corrugated has rounded waves, Trimdek has flat pans between square ribs, and Metlok 700 shows no fixings at all. A new sheet has to be the same profile as the old one to lap onto it.
For cutting and shaping on site, our metal roofing tools include flashing notchers made for specific sheet profiles and a turn-up tool for Trimdek and Klip-Lok.

Metal roofing questions
What metal roofing profiles do you stock?
Three: corrugated, Trimdek and Metlok 700, all in Colorbond steel. Corrugated and Trimdek are screwed through the sheet. Metlok 700 is concealed-fix and sits on clips.
What else do I need besides the roofing sheets?
Plan for flashings at the ridge, barges and walls, plus screws or clips to suit the profile. Most roofs also take insulation under the sheets, and guttering and fascia to finish the roof edge.
Is metal roofing suitable for a low-pitch roof?
It can be, if you choose the right profile. Metlok 700 is listed down to 1 degree and Trimdek down to 2 degrees. Corrugated needs at least 5 degrees.
