There are many types of profiles with different sizes. |
| Product characteristics | + Material width 680mm – 1200mm+ Material thickness: 0.2 mm – 0.6 mm (depending on requirements)+Screws connecting between roof and purlins are the SRMT screws 12-14 X 55mm+Screws connecting between panel walls and purlins are the SRMT 12-14 X 20mm, with heat treatment and Zinc-Tin plated. | + Material width 420mm – 975mm +Lock clips are designed to fit the Kliplok ridge to one another.+Material thickness: 0.4 mm to 0.6 mm (depending on requirements)+ Lock clips are made of zinc plated steel or Al alloy. + The Kliplok sheet and purlins are connected together via lock clips. Screws are not used to connect between the Kliplok sheeting and the purlins. |
| Product applications | Roofing roll form sheeting are used in small- and large-scale projects, from factories to industrial buildings, with a large area up to 3000m2. | Kliplok sheeting are used as roofing in large projects with large area from 5000m2 or more. |
