Maintenance and Aftercare
Cladco provides a Dripstop membrane option which can be added to Cladco Corrugated, Box Profile 34/100 and Box Profile 32/1000 during manufacture. Dripstop is applied to the reverse of your Roofing Sheet as a self-adhesive felt membrane to help prevent condensation buildup. The Dripstop Membrane will absorb the moisture - which occurs when moist, warm air, hits a cold surface - and will release the moisture back into the air when conditions return to below the 'dew point'.

Yes, Cladco Roofing Sheets are manufactured using Galvanised Steel, which has a corrosion-resistant component to ensure a high-quality, long-lasting product. Find out more about Cladco Roofing Sheets and their properties here.
To ensure your Cladco Roofing Sheets will last for many years. It is recommended to check your Roofing Sheets regularly and clear away any leaves or debris, and clean any marks or scratches (most marks should be able to be cleaned using soap and water). Find out more here.
Metal roofing sheets are manufactured from galvanised steel and so do not require treating to protect them from the elements. Any newly cut ends can be painted with a metal paint of a similar colour to help protect exposed metal edges.
Dripstop anti-condensation membrane can’t be applied to sheets after purchasing or installing. The special polyester fleece that prevents water droplets dripping off the underside of a metal Roof Sheet can only be attached to Sheets at the time of manufacturing. Find out more here.
Watermarks may occur as a result of the weathering process associated with Composite materials. As the tannins from the timber content of the Boards come to the surface, these marks can become visible. This condition is temporary, and the marks will naturally fade as the Cladding stabilises.
Ensure that your roofing sheet is kept clear of debris. For more information about maintaining your roof see here.
