The Product & Applications
Fibre cement roofing sheets, also known as fibre cement board or cement sheets, are a very reliable, versatile roofing solution. They’re especially popular for agricultural buildings but can also be used on commercial or industrial properties as well as on residential. And We’re proud to disrupt the market with our proprietary formulated ultra high performance concrete, corrugated wall and roofing panels; with a fantastic range of colours at competitive prices.
From agricultural and industrial use to domestic and commercial uses; fibre cement roofing sheets are quick and easy to install and come in large sizes that speed up the installation of roof & wall systems.
Our Panel
Corrugated Wall & Roof Panels
Resistant, durable, reliable and even environmentally friendly: Corrucrete is one of the most advantageous products for both roof and wall solutions for buildings. The cement matrix reinforced with glass fibers results in a malleable product that exceeds modern construction requirements. The proprietary formulation promotes high resistance to tensile stresses, buckling and impact that ultimately ensure a very long product life cycle.
Manufactured under pioneered technology for non- asbestos fiber cement corrugated sheets, The production process is streamlined and lean; all the material processing, dosing and product formation are under strict quality control and requirements for minimal tolerances. Our Corrugated cementitious panels are all completely ASBESTOS FREE. Reinforcement material is glass fibre manufactured and supplied by the world famous manufacturer of fibre reinforcement "St. Gobain".
A profiled sheet with the addition of corrugations dramatically increases its strength. Large format roofing sheets and cladding panels employ simple principles to create a strong weather-proof vertical and pitched profiled sheet cladding.
The preferred choice
In the UK, profiled sheets used either as a vertical cladding or as roofing was the ubiquitous product throughout the middle 3rd of the 20th century. Corrugated sheet were common as an industrial roofing, agricultural roofing or as storage and warehouse roofing.
The choice of corrugated fibre-cement for roofing and cladding was largely as a result of its rot proof and rust proof qualities, a particular advantage in acidic environments.
Growing Demand
Increasing demand for colour from around the 1950’s lead to the development of factory-applied coatings. Which we have employed but we always recommend integrally pigmented cement as the basis of our clients decision in regards to colour.
Proprietary
Unique Selection of raw materials, proprietary formula & manufacturing process is another key to our non-asbestos fiber concrete corrugated sheets superiority over fibre cement.
Panel Options
Colour Palette
Our UHPC Corrugated sheets are available in 18 standard integral colours. If you don't see what your looking for, ask us about custom colours.
Profiles
Currently our corrugated cement sheets are only available in two profiles. 4.2 and T.T. both of which have been designed to be identical replacements for the cancerous asbestos fibre cement sheets found commonly around the globe.
Profiles
Our profiles are exact replicas of 4.2 and Trafford Tile, perfect for replacement of asbestos reinforced corrugated panels.
Profile 1: Commonly used on all types of building for both roofing and vertical cladding applications.
Profile 2: is designed for roofs of 5° pitch and over and for vertical profiled sheeting in both single skin and insulated constructions. Profiled sheeting provides good resistance to aggressive atmospheric conditions .
Profile 3: or Profile 177/51 has a very broad appeal. This profile is most popular in the world which is widely used in residential building, agriculture and industrial application. Profile 7 with pitch of corrugation is 177 mm and overall depth is 51 mm. Profile 7 is designed for roofs of 5°
The reason for the distinction between profile 2 and profile 3 is due to the difference in pitch of corrugation and overall depth. Profile 7 (177/51) is with longer pitch and higher depth than Profile 3 (130/35).

key Benefits
Long Lifespan
The real benefit to Corrucrete board's longevity comes when you compare it to other siding materials. Corrucrete boards go above and beyond what other materials can provide by outlasting the competition.
Corrucrete is actually stronger and more durable than any competitive material. As a result, it has the same durability as brick or stone. And just as with a brick or stone, Corrucrete will last longer than the structure it's installed on.
Maintenance Free & Energy efficient, unlike wood siding, Corrucrete does not rot or require painting to keep its colour. It is fireproof, insect resistant, and performs well in natural disasters.
Planet Health
The main reason why Corrucrete is becoming more and more popular is sustainability. It is already proven to last nearly 40 years in real world, still installed, conditions throughout North America. The technology itself is a hyper-performing concrete, while traditional concrete is expected to have a life span of 100+ years and most building materials only lastinmasomehwere between 20 and 50 years before needing to be replaced. Corrucrete is likely to push the limits of 1,000 years. Leaving no need to replace or demolish the buildings which it protects. As one of the longest lasting materials When it comes to eco-friendliness. Despite using a lot of water during production, fiber cement relies on recycled materials and consumes fewer resources.
Extreme Weather
Weather changes can damage a building structure over time. By using the Corrucrete, buildings are protected by a littoral shield of UHPC concrete that offers high stability and strength, all year round.
Picking the right siding for your project is a delicate balancing act between aesthetics, durability, maintenance, and affordability. With Corrucrete, you can get way more than you could ever pay for.

Additional Information
1. Highly cost effective
Unlike the building materials available in the market, Corrucrete roofing sheets are cost-effective in every possible manner. Fiber cement roofing sheet is quite a robust roofing solution. They won’t rot or decay due to weather conditions, thus, making an ideal solution to use in the exposed areas. Once installed, they will also last for up to 1,000 years.
3. Fire resistant
The natural fire-resistant property of fibre cement sheets make it perfectly ideal for roofing solution. Corrucrete is 100% non-combustible.
4. Safety
Sheets made by components without asbestos, it is safe for human health and friendly environment.
5. Low maintenance
Designed to be highly robust and resist nearly any problem that roofing or walls are expected to encounter. Corrucrete fiber cement sheets require no maintenance other than a simple powerwash once every few years. All you’ll need to do is give it an occasional clean to remove excess dirt and debris. This is best done using soft sponges, water, and mild detergent and a gentle power wash.
Our Offering
Corrucrete façade panels offer the designer a wide range of creative freedom in designing both roofs and facades. The panels can be installed with the corrugations running vertically or horizontally. The panel edges can be lapped or the panels can be installed with open joints. This flexibility allows for multiple design options. Suitable for use on new buildings and refurbishments of every type and size. Corrucrete excellent physical and mechanical properties exceed European Standard requirements, which are the most stringent performance standards in the world.
