All about double-sided corrugated board

When constructing a fence made of corrugated board, the owners rely on its durability and practicality. For this purpose, double-sided painted corrugated board with a special polymer surface treatment is excellent. The material is attractive on both sides, especially if it imitates the texture of wood or stone.

The processing of metal profiled sheet on both sides consists of the following steps:

• galvanized;

• rustproofing;

• applying a solution that fixes the previous layers;

• processing with polymers - the composition based on polyester has a dense structure and water resistance;

• final treatment with plastisol, pural - a dye with a pattern, PVDF - based on acrylic.

A fence made of double-sided corrugated board does not require special care, in addition to periodic washing from a hose in the off-season. The sheets are attached using standard technology. But for greater visual decorativeness, the material can be fastened using painted roofing screws (when the logs are made of wooden beams), colored or colorless metal rivets (for professional pipes and roof corners).

The imitation of a wooden fence turns out to be so reliable that the difference between a natural wooden board and a profiled sheet can be seen only up close. Especially when the profile sheet imitating wood has a matte surface.

Double-sided corrugated board is available in various colors according to the RAL scale. Each of them is indicated by a specific marking, but there are especially popular colors in the palette:

• 3005 - cherry (wine);

• 1014 - ivory;

• 6005 - moss color;

• 11 - needles;

• 8017 - chocolate (brown);

• 5021 is the color of the blue wave.

With such digital expressions, colors were designated in Germany and were universally accepted as the standard. The index of each of the shades has been determined to make it easier to choose the desired color in different industries.

Manufacturers also produce profiled sheets with a decorative coating that copies a variety of textures, for example, brickwork, wood or other natural materials. Such a professional sheet is an ordinary trapezoidal metal profile. It is made of 35 micron polymer coated sheet steel, which replicates a specific texture, exactly repeating the specified versatile patterns.

Sheets of wood-colored blanks can imitate the texture:

• light and dark wood;

• Brazilian cherry;

• birch.

Double-sided corrugated board, copying the texture of wood, can have a matte or glossy surface.

When deciding on the choice of double-sided corrugated board, it is recommended to consider the products of proven large suppliers. Making a purchase in dubious firms that have been on the market for a short time, there is a risk of acquiring handicraft material. The profile can be painted with a low-grade paint, without following the appropriate technology. A fence made of such sheets can last for a short time; under the influence of atmospheric factors, the coating will begin to peel off.With a reduction in the cost of sheet production, deterioration of other parameters will follow: metal with a smaller thickness and a lower corrugation height entails a deterioration in strength indicators.

Profiled sheeting is marked according to the degree of its rigidity. The classification of the differences corresponds to certain letters: "H" and "C". The letter "H" denotes the most durable corrugated board. The sheets are distinguished by a large corrugation depth with a similar metal thickness. They are most suitable for the construction of enclosing structures. The letter "C" is characterized by a small thickness of metal sheets and a similar wave height. These are wall profiled sheets. And also there is a universal category "NS" with averaged parameters.

For fences, a wall profile with markings C8 and C20 is most often used. The number indicates the depth of the wave that affects the stiffness of the sheet metal. Steel profiled sheets C8 are considered a budget material with medium strength parameters. They successfully cope with the main task - limiting the private territory from the eyes of strangers. The C20 grade is distinguished by its high strength and rigidity due to its high wave elements and material thickness.

The correct choice of material will guarantee the durability and reliability of the fence. Professional sheet for a fence with double-sided painting should have a thickness of 0.5-1.2 mm. When purchasing high-quality sheets of large thickness, buyers expect to receive a material of increased strength. But a thicker canvas will not significantly affect the strength, but at the same time the purchase price will increase significantly.

In terms of the depth of the corrugation, the parameters differ in the range of 8-75 mm, but 25 mm is considered optimal for fences.

The aesthetic appeal of the painted metal profile sheets on both sides makes it possible to implement original design and architectural ideas with their help. Materials are actively used in the device:

• barriers;

• roofs and flooring;

• frame and panel-type structures;

• facades and wall coverings of non-residential objects (change houses, various types of pavilions, garages for vehicles, etc.);

• prefabricated structures.

A fence made of corrugated board with double-sided processing is an excellent solution for fencing the territory of a summer cottage or a personal plot. Such structures become a real decoration of the landscape as a whole, organically complementing the chosen design. A rich palette of colors allows you to choose the one that will perfectly match the roof or street gazebo.
