Designers and contractors need to be aware of the high risks and potentially catastrophic consequences of using lighter gauge steel liner profiles in site-assembled building envelope systems…

Corus has published a new technical paper regarding the importance of the effect of gauge on pre-finished steel roof and wall cladding performance. The paper takes an in depth look at the implications that using a lower gauge will have on the building envelope and how to clearly specify gauge…

What impact does the ordered gauge have on the structural performance of profiled pre-finished steel cladding? The structural performance of a pre-finished steel profiled sheet is dependant upon 3 factors: 1.shape/geometry of the profile 2.gauge of the steel substrate 3.mechanical properties of the steel grade used. Gauges and tolerances EN10143:2006 specifies the maximum and minimum […]
