Profiled sheet specific weight: 1 m² weight by grade

Profiled sheeting has been actively used as a construction material for several decades. It is a galvanized sheet that receives a special shape during cold rolling. The profiles act as stiffening ribs, which makes it possible to use thin metal successfully in construction.

The popularity of profiled sheeting is explained by the following qualities:

• fast and simple installation;

• practicality;

• durability when installation and use rules are followed;

• the possibility of installation with little waste;

• the ability to choose sheets of the required size;

• attractive appearance;

• affordable price range.

Types of Profiled Sheet

Today, any company supplying roofing materials usually offers a wide range of profiled sheets. Two main categories can be distinguished:

• galvanized sheet;

• painted sheet.

Galvanized steel is suitable for outdoor use, but service life depends on zinc layer thickness, environmental aggressiveness, installation quality and coating damage. Additional anticorrosion and polymer coatings help extend service life, improve resistance to temperature changes and make the material more attractive through color options.

Depending on purpose, the following types are distinguished:

• profiled sheet for walls and partitions, marked C; it is used for fences, facade cladding and building partitions, with rib height from 8 to 21 mm;

• roofing sheet marked H; it has a higher wave and special drainage grooves, with rib height over 57 mm;

• universal profiled sheet HC; it can be used for roof installation, wall cladding and other construction work. It is cheaper than class H, sufficiently strong, and has a wave height over 35 mm.

The main features of different profiled sheet categories are metal thickness, wave height and shape, and the presence or absence of an additional drainage groove.

How Much Profiled Sheet Weighs, Weight of 1 m²

The relatively low weight of profiled sheet determines useful operating properties that make the material convenient for:

• fence construction;

• facade cladding;

• roofing;

• partition and wall construction.

For these works, it is necessary to know the weight of 1 m² of profiled sheet. This factor must be considered when calculating loads on the foundation and load-bearing structures, as well as during delivery and lifting of the material.

For the most popular and commonly used types of profiled sheet, the table below shows weight values depending on metal thickness.

The table shows the weight of 1 m² of profiled sheet by useful width. Where two values are shown, the format is unpainted/painted.

As can be seen, the weight of painted C8 profiled sheet, used for sandwich panels, is quite low because of its small wave.

The weight of C10 profiled sheet is only slightly higher, but its application range is wider. It is used in light fencing, cladding, ceiling lining, roofing with calculated loads, and in some panel and facade solutions.
