TECHNICAL: LOADSPAN TABLES AND DIMENSIONS
Our profiled sheet load/span tables provide guidance on the structural performance of our profiles in 0.5 mm and 0.7 mm thicknesses. Some profiles are available in 0.5 mm only, and the tables indicate the allowable loads for each span.
Both positive (+ve) and negative (-ve) loads are shown. Positive loads are based on a deflection limit of L/200, while negative loads are based on L/150.
These tables have been produced by SCI on behalf of Thomas Panels and Profiles in accordance with BS EN 1993-1-3:2006. The loads presented represent the total characteristic load that can be applied to the profile for a given span. In design, this value must include the self-weight of the profile together with any other permanent or imposed loads.

Steel profiled sheets provide a practical and cost-effective roofing and cladding solution for a wide range of buildings. Their high strength-to-weight ratio allows them to span efficiently between supports, often reducing the amount of structural framework required compared with some alternative roofing systems.
The lightweight nature of profiled steel sheets also makes them easier to handle and quicker to install, helping to reduce installation time and overall project costs. Sheets can be manufactured to required lengths, minimising end laps and improving weather resistance.
Galvanised and coated steel offers excellent durability and resistance to corrosion, providing a long service life with minimal maintenance. Modern coating systems also allow a wide range of colours and finishes, making steel sheets suitable for both functional and visually appealing building designs.
In addition, steel is fully recyclable, making profiled steel sheets a sustainable roofing option that combines long-term performance with environmental benefits.
Coatings and colours: to suit every application
We offer a wide range of coatings and colours across our full product range, including galvanised, polyester, and plastisol finishes—each providing different performance benefits and service life to suit your application.
Please note that colours displayed on screen may vary from the actual product due to differences in display settings. We recommend requesting physical samples to accurately assess colour and finish.
Availability & Lead Times
Lead times can vary significantly depending on the coating and colour selected. In some cases, extended lead times may apply due to production and coating processes. We strongly recommend checking stock availability prior to ordering and noting that minimum order quantities may apply to certain specifications.
