ST963
Description

ST963 is a profiled metal roofing and cladding profile manufactured with four trapezoidal ribs of 46mm in height. Unique design enhancements stiffen the rib shape to provide industry leading resistance to both wind uplift and point load distortion. Translucent sheeting is available to match.

All Steel & Tube roofing, cladding and rainwater goods manufactured from COLORSTEEL are accredited with Environmental Choice which contributes to Homestar and Greenstar.

Key Features
  • ST963 is manufactured in Auckland and Christchurch
  • Minimum pitch 3°

  • 3 pans leads to a time saving in turn up/turn down
  • 230mm wide pan means it is easy to walk over the roof
