Anti Condensation Liner
Polyester paint and PVC Plastisol coated sheets are also available with an anti-condensation liner added to the underside of the sheet.
This simple method of rolling a flock material to the underside of our box profile and corrugated sheets reduces the risk of condensation* and drastically cuts the cost associated with full insulated panels.
Adding anti condensation liner to our roof sheets is a cost effective method of handling condensation problems in many buildings. If you believe that there is a chance of condensation we would highly recommend Dripstop anti condensation liner as an extremely effective solution.
Controlling condensation
When the temperature and humidity conditions in the building reach dew point, moisture will condense on the underside of an uninsulated metal roof sheet. If there is a lot of condensation, water droplets will form and start to fall. The traditional method for eliminating build up of condensation is to insulate the roof so that the temperature on the metal sheet never reaches the dew point.
Drip Stop anti condensation liner is pre rolled onto the sheet and will provide a much more cost effective solution than full roof insulation.
Advantages of anti condensation lined sheets
- Save up to 25% on traditional solutions
- Durability (Drip Stop anti-condensation felt liner is not susceptible to ripping, tearing or deterioration like standard insulation and vapor barriers are)
- Easy to clean (with hose or pressure washers)
The Drip Stop solution
Roofing sheets lined with Drip Stop anti-condensation material provide a medium for trapping this moisture in the specially designed pockets formed in the membrane. Drip Stop holds the moisture until conditions go back below the dew point. The moisture is then released back into the air in the form of normal humidity.
Drip Stop is self adhesive felt liner that is applied to our sheets during the roll forming process. This means that the sheets will arrive with you with Drip Stop already in place, ready to be installed immediately. Your sheets are then installed as normal.
Steel gauges
0.5mm (24swg)
0.5mm is a lightweight gauge ideal for use on walls and smaller domestic and agricultural roofs. With a typical weight of only 4.8kg/m². 0.5mm gauge steel cladding is especially useful when weight is a concern. Please be aware that if you are planning to use 0.5mm gauge sheets on your roof then you must support the sheets more often¹, typically every 0.6m (or 2ft).
0.7mm (22swg)
0.7mm steel cladding is the established standard for roofing applications with a typical weight of 6.8Kg/m². 0.7mm gauge can typically be supported¹ every 1m.
