* BS Super Corolux is manufactured to the specification contained in BS4203 (1980) - although a more expensive option this product is better equipped to withstand weather conditions, is stronger and altogether a much safer alternative. It carries the BS approved standard.


To calculate the number of sheets required to complete your roof, measure the width of the roof and divide this figure by the cover width.

i.e. if the roof is 3000mm wide, divide by the cover width which is 1016mm = 2.95 sheets.
Round this figure up to the nearest full sheet - 3 sheets will be required.

Fixings Requirements

Divide the roof width by the fixing centres. Divide the roof length by the support centres and add 1.
Multiply these two values together .

= approximate number of fixings required.
