What is Corrugated Aluminum?
Corrugated aluminum is aluminum sheeting which has been pressed to create a ribbed pattern. It is classically used for siding and roofing on basic structures like sheds and shacks, and it may also be used as a design element in some architectural styles. Many building suppliers carry corrugated aluminum, with the capability of ordering specific sizes or styles by request, and it is also possible to order the product directly from a manufacturer. There are several variations on basic corrugated aluminum. The heights and widths of the peaks and troughs can be varied for specific needs, as can the shape of the corrugation, which may vary from simple half-circle shapes to slightly squared designs. The aluminum can also be treated for specific climate conditions, or painted in a variety of colors. Some sheets come with predrilled holes for convenient installation, or with cut outs to accommodate various needs. Builders utilize corrugated aluminum for basic projects for a number of reasons.
