Profile 6 roof sheets can be used down to a minimum roof pitch of 5º. For slopes between 5º and 10º the maximum slope length should be 15 metres. It is possible to use profiled sheeting on this roof by following correct lap treatment. The roof should have 300 mm double sealed end laps and single sealed side laps.
