If you are planning on purchasing a sheet of corrugated iron for separating the area inside the factory, or serving as a porch, a fence, the best choice will be regular sheets with a layer of corrugation in square shape, a layer of aluminium and zinc layer, and a color coating layer. This is sufficient to resist corrosion and oxidation. The design of the roof must assist quick water drainage, which is essential for regions with high frequency of storms and humid weather condition.

With the factories that are situated in hot-dry conditions, the contract holders must consider seriously about using the insulating corrugated iron for roofing when the number of workers and staffs are crowded. You should look for the products that have the mentioned-above criteria with insulation layer added so that the ventilation inside the working area will be guaranteed.

Contract holders must consider carefully the fireproof and soundproof ability of the roofing. The current corrugated iron in the market can meet the customer’s demands by coating a silver layer in the lower surface of the sheet for fireproof purpose.
