Full technical support from every service centre: span tables, fastener guidance and datasheets behind every system.
Product Range
Everything your roof needs in one place.
From concealed-fix systems to fasteners, every profile is roll-formed and supported by Roofco.
Why it performs
Built to withstand the elements.
Built to withstand the elements: the engineering behind every Roofco system.
Corrosion resistance
Aluminium-Zinc coated steel in AZ100, AZ150 and AZ200, with fasteners matched to the corrosion zone.
Rain and wind
Drainage-rated sheet lengths and high-wind-load slider clips and saddle washers keep water and uplift out.
Heat and movement
Concealed-fix clips allow free expansion and contraction; stiffening ribs resist oil-canning under heat.
