• Which profile is best?
• The 32/1000mm profile provides the best value for money as it is the maximum 'metre wide cover' sheet - it is also the strongest from this range - and is rollformed at our Dalmarnock factory so is available ex-stock. 13/3 traditional 'wavy' profile can look very attractive and is a very popular choice within the agricultural industry.

• Should I choose plastisol, polyster coated or sheeting?
• Plastisol is a "leather grain" type coating and is used on all roofing applications. It looks excellent and provides a lifetime of all weather protection. Polyester is a smooth paint finish - ideal for most applications. Ideal for domestic garages , large storage warehouses, grain and whisky stores and equestrian centres.
  
  
• Should I choose 'NO CON DROP' sheeting?
• 'NO-CON-DROP' is Cladco's unique anti-condensation sheeting - available in different colours, finishes and thicknesses and is designed to prevent condensation problems. It is used in ( see above ) with any single skin.
  
  
• What thickness is best?
• 0.7 thick is the most commonly used as it allows foot traffic and thus is a safe bet for most. O.5 is also available and although not as rigid as 0.7 is still adequate for most uses. If budget is an issue - 0.5 Polyster sheeting is ideal.
  
  
• Do the 'ridge' type flashings fit into the shape of the sheet?
• No. Cladco flashings are made to your own specification - thus you specify the size and angle that you require. They are then fixed on top of the roof sheets along with Cladco 'All Weather Fillers' which are fitted so as to close off the spaces from rain, mud, insects, birds etc.
  
  
• Do the fittings fit in the flat of the sheet?
• Yes, they are modern, high performance fixings which come with a special sealed washer - so they will not leak. They are fitted in the flat of the sheet so as to provide the best resistance to uplift from high winds.

• This depends on the type of application. We will advise which type and will provide the proper fixings required as well as working out how many you require, etc. For further information contact our fixings department today.
