Roof Sheet Fixing

We recommend the use of our self drilling tek screws with 5 16 hexagon heads and 19mm sealing washers for fixing your roof.

Roof sheet fixing.

Eight foot 1 2 inch thick plywood is standard sheathing material. If fixing screws are left in the valleys your roof will leak in hundreds of places. The general advice for fixing is 4 5 screws across the sheets purlin we advise using 1 screw on the overlap of the next sheet. Up signs indicate the direction of the ridge to lay the sheets correctly.

Corrugated roofing sheets should be installed into the corrugated sheets crown using a 65mm tek screw with baz washer. Whether it s a corrugated roof made from bitumen or a flat sheet roof made from plastic our fixings are compatible with many types of roof sheet. What was previously a valley in the corrugations will now be a ridge and the nail hole will be in the correct place. Lay sheets in the opposite direction to the prevailing winds.

These should be long enough to get a secure fixing into your purlins. Start laying sheets over the gutter with 6 cm overhang maximum. Remove roofing and turn each sheet over. Roof fixings are required to piece together and add the finishing touches to your roofing project.

After cleaning the debris and reframing the roof lay down a base sheathing. Measure the opening of the section of roof to be shingled cut the plywood to size and nail to roof rafters. You will have to paint the roof but is cheaper than buying new roofing. You ll will find everything from nail fixings to glazing bars jointing strips and edging strips.

Stagger the sheathing in a brick pattern for extra strength. Fixing and securing sheets.
