Advantages of Corrugated Bitumen

Bitumen roofing sheets offer several advantages over other roofing materials. Their corrugated design adds strength by evenly distributing the force of any impact across the entire sheet. Bitumen corrugated roofing is also low maintenance, as the corrugations allow water and debris to shed very easily.

But there are a number of other advantages to consider:

Low Cost

Starting from as little as £13.19 per sheet, bitumen sheets are some of the cheapest roofing supplies available to purchase. Plus, as well as saving on materials you might also save on labour costs as installation for basic structures, like shed roofs, is usually pretty simple and doesnt' normally require specialist tools.

Strong

Corrugated bitumen roofing sheets have superb tensile strength, preventing falling debris or bad weather from causing cracks or splits. This is achieved by combining tough bitumen fibres and a strong corrugated profit throughout the full length of the sheets.

Lightweight

Weighing as little as 5kg each, bitumen sheets are easy to handle and can be used on almost any type of structure. This includes sheds, pergolas, stables, and garages constructed from timber or masonry.

Fast Installation

With few fixings and ancillaries being necessary, bitumen roof sheets are quick and easy to fit. Allowing you to undertake a project with minimal distribution and cost without the strain of lifting heavier roofing materials.

Uses for Bitumen Sheets

You can use corrugated bitumen sheets on a variety of building types. These include garden buildings, such as small sheds or larger workshops. You can also use them to protect items stored in carports or garages. Or why not consider them for your horse stables or other structures in your Equestrian yard.

Shed Roofing

The timber structure of a garden shed can’t withstand considerable weight. It is, therefore, essential that you use a lightweight yet durable roofing material that prevents water and other debris from building up.

Weighing as little as 5kg each, most sheds can easily handle the weight of bitumen corrugated roofing. Their corrugated design also allows water and snow to run off with ease, preventing a build-up and causing your sheets to bow.

Installing these roofing sheets onto a shed couldn’t be easier. At 2m in length, they should span between the eaves and ridge in most cases. You then secure the sheets into place roughly 20 fixings placed along the peaks of the corrugations.

Garage Roofing

Whilst garages are usually constructed from masonry, most have a timber roof that can’t hold a lot of weight. However, durability and minimising condensation are essential to protect the belongings stored within.

As you’ll already know, bitumen corrugated roofing is one of the lightest roofing supplies available. Whilst condensation can occur on their underside, materials such as metal are more vulnerable to this issue.

Fitting corrugated bitumen roofing sheets onto a garage is easy. The sheets can be overlapped to span between the eaves and ridge. You then use roughly 20 fixings to secure the sheet along the peaks of the corrugations.

Stable Roofing

Much like sheds, horse stables are usually built from timber and can’t withstand the weight of most roofing materials. To provide a comfortable home to horses, the materials used should also absorb the sound caused by rain and hail.

Due to the fibres throughout bitumen sheets, they are great at absorbing the sound of rain or even heavier hail. For additional sound absorption, try boarding your roof with plywood before fitting your sheets.

Installing corrugated bitumen sheets on a horse stable is simple. The process is similar on both apex and single-sloped roofs, with the 2m length minimising the need to cut or overlap sheets. By using at around 20 fixings along the peaks of the corrugation, they won’t rattle in the wind either.
