Accord's Guide to Curved Corrugated Sheets
When it comes to roofing, some designs prioritize function, while others focus just as much on aesthetic appeal. Curved Corrugated Sheets are a prime example of a roofing solution that balances both form and function. Once mostly seen on commercial or industrial buildings, curved steel roofing is now becoming a popular choice for residential projects, offering a sleek, modern look combined with long-lasting performance.
At Accord Steel Cladding, we specialize in a wide range of curved corrugated sheets, including standard options like Shepherd Hut Sheets and Pig Arc Sheets, as well as fully Custom Arc Roofing panels tailored to your specific project.
What Is a Curved Corrugated Roof?
A curved corrugated roof, also known as a radius roof or curved metal roof, features an elegant arched design that is becoming increasingly popular for residential roofing. Unlike traditional roofs, which often have angular or flat pitches, curved corrugated sheets add a distinctive, modern touch to contemporary architecture.
Curved metal roofs can be installed over a solid deck or open framing and are often used to accentuate parts of a building such as bay windows, porches, or entryways. While full curved corrugated roofing systems are more common in public buildings like churches, arenas, and convention centres, they are also being used more frequently in residential applications.
How Is Curved Corrugated Roof Manufactured?
Curved metal roofing panels are produced similarly to standard metal roofing panels. Steel sheets are passed through a roll-forming machine to create the desired profile. The key difference is that these sheets are then run through a radius machine that bends them into the curved shape needed for the roof.
Benefits of Curved Corrugated Sheets
Curved corrugated sheets offers numerous advantages, including:
Aesthetic Appeal
Arguably the most significant benefit of a curved corrugated roof is its striking visual impact. The sleek, arched design adds sophistication and elegance to any structure. Its modern, fluid lines make it a standout feature in both residential and commercial designs. When used as an accent, it provides a textural contrast, especially when paired with flatter roof sections.
Durability
You might wonder if the arched design compromises the strength of the roof. Fortunately, the answer is no. Curved corrugated roof maintains the same durability as standard metal roofing options. The flexibility of the material allows it to be shaped without sacrificing its strength, impact resistance, rot resistance, or fire rating.
Energy Efficiency
Like traditional metal roofs, curved corrugated roof is highly energy-efficient and eco-friendly. The reflective properties of metal help regulate temperatures inside the building, reducing the need for heating and cooling. This can potentially lower your energy costs over time.
Low Maintenance
One of the major advantages of metal roofing, including curved corrugated roofing, is their low maintenance requirements. Whether your roof is made from steel, copper, or aluminium, regular inspections and minimal upkeep can ensure your roof lasts for decades. With proper care, your curved corrugated roof can have a lifespan of 40-60 years or more.
