Summer is the peak season for building and construction work. After a rather cool and rainy interlude in late May and early June, it looks as though we are set to return to drier conditions. As we approach the maximum daylight hours, roofers will be keen to take advantage of this time of year to complete large projects.
Here’s a look at why box profiling roofing sheets are ideal for bigger projects such as agricultural buildings and industrial units.
Fast installation times
Contractors are often working to tight deadlines over the summer as they aim to finish as many projects as possible before the winter and risk weather related delays. Box profile sheets are lightweight and easy to handle, and have a simple overlapping design with pre-drilled holes.
The sheets are typically wide, so there’s fewer of them to transport and install. This significantly reduces labour time, making them ideal for jobs that need a quick turnaround.
Tough and lightweight
Commercial buildings require robust and long-lasting roofing, and box profile sheets are made from premium quality materials such as steel and aluminium. They provide excellent structural strength for barns, warehouses, workshops and other industrial buildings, yet they are lightweight in design.
This means crews working to meet deadlines in the summer heat can work more efficiently and safely, reducing the risk of strains and accidents, and maximising productivity.
Budget friendly and fast availability
Box profile sheets are typically stocked in large volumes by trade roofing suppliers, with a good choice of colours, coatings, and sizes. This is good in summer when demand is high and the construction sector can be subject to stock shortages. They also deliver excellent value for money compared to many other types of roofing materials.
