Profiled sheeting MP 20: description and characteristics

Profiled sheeting MP 20 is considered an ideal building material. It is convenient, practical for installation, very durable and durable.

Production of corrugated board

This corrugated board is produced, as well as other brands of galvanized metal sheets. Steel is delivered to the factory in rolls, unwinding with special automatic machines. After that, the material is placed on the rolling table, moving the steel to the rollers, converting the smooth metal into corrugated surfaces.

After completion of the treatment with rollers, the metal profile is sent for pruning and painting. First, the metal is trimmed to the required length. Then it is zinced (when the steel is supplied in a non-galvanized form) and sent to the painting shop, where the profiled MP 20 galvanized is processed. Processing can be carried out by 2 methods:

• Staining with the application of high-frequency electric current (this method is more reliable);
• Powder coating at high pressure.

Profiled sheeting MP 20 roofing - colored material. Manufacturers offer a variety of color options: aluminum, black, red, blue, white, brown, etc. In addition, it has a more pronounced resistance to temperature changes and corrosion, has a more presentable appearance. However, the cost of the painted profile is much larger than usual, for this reason, if this factor is not very important to you, then you can purchase unpainted material, and then process it yourself.

After carrying out such processing, the colored material is covered with a protective film, which helps it to retain color and be protected from corrosion. Only after this the product is sent for sale.

Dimensions

Profiled sheeting MP 20 is produced with a width of 1150 mm, taking into account overlap with adjacent sheets, the useful width is 1100 mm. The height of the wave profile is 20 mm.

Profiled sheeting MP 20: characteristics

Profiled sheeting is a building material with a coating designed for walls, roofs, partitions and small building construction. The designation "MP" indicates that the metal sheet is universal, and due to its good rigidity and light weight it can be mounted on almost any surfaces. The figure 20 is the height of the corrugation.

Features

The sides of the material have a polymer or zinc coating, and its laying is done by either side. Manufacturers recommend placing up a narrow peak of the wave, and in the process of facing the walls - on the contrary. This feature is also taken into account when laying on the roof or when using it for cladding.

Scope of application

Profiled sheeting MP 20 is used:

• When erecting structural elements of light metal structures - cabins, garages, pavilions;
• In the process of constructing a roof covering with a furring of steps not more than 40 cm;
• For shield enclosures;
• For frameworks of high-speed constructions;
• For metal gates and fences;
• For walls of all-metal structures of small area;
• As a basis for sandwich panels of thermal insulation;
• As facing panels of the capital walls;
• For internal partitions of buildings.

Advantages

• Flexibility. The material is often used for mansard, broken, tent and other "wrong" roofs.
• Long service life. With normal care for more than 50 years.
• Availability. Profiled sheeting is inexpensive, unlike other similar coatings.
• Relative ease. Any foundation can easily carry a weight of up to 8 kg.

Thanks to the listed advantages, profiled MP 20 user reviews has mostly positive.

disadvantages

However, even such an excellent material, as profiled MP 20, according to reviews, has some disadvantages:

1. Not always a convenient height profile, for example, to cover complex roofs it will not be enough, you may need a material with a larger corrugation.

2. The material can not tolerate water stagnation badly, that is, it is not recommended to install the profile on a flat roof or in the absence of a drainage system. There is either an improved steam and waterproofing system, or a 2-sided profiled sheeting.

3. Profiled sheeting MP 20 roofing requires periodic cleaning from snow, foliage, dirt, otherwise the integrity of the coating may be damaged.

However, in other aspects, this material is the optimal solution for covering the facade of the house, arranging the roofs, covering the fences, cladding the auxiliary buildings and other construction works.

Despite the shortcomings, the profiled MP 20 reviews are generally good.

Mounting of corrugated board

The procedure for fixing this material to the roof does not mean anything special, it is installed on the crate in the same way as other materials. It is necessary to familiarize with the recommendations of professional builders about the installation of the profiled sheet:

1. Installation should always be overlapped, due to which the connection will be more rigid.

2. Fastening should be carried out with the help of screws, but not nails.

3. For the laying of the roofing and wall sheathing of MP 20, drawings are required, which will allow to count the number of sheets and connecting products. The installation scheme also helps to calculate the rigidity of the structure.

4. The joining of the sheets is not very often to avoid a reduction in rigidity. Often, maybe five screws - in the center one and at each corner for two.

5. It must be remembered that machines that produce polymer processing are expensive enough, for this reason, it is desirable to negotiate with the enterprises about the processing of sheets on equipment before purchasing profiled sheeting.
