Multirib™ provides numerous benefits to the architect, including clean lines and innovative design features offering superior strength and spanning capability over similar profiles. Installed as roofing and cladding on many of New Zealand’s larger scale projects, Multirib™ exhibits equally impressive aesthetics when used in a traditional profile shape, or alternatively, as “reverse run” as an option for wall cladding ensuring the building designer only has to concern themselves with one roof and cladding profile.

FEATURES

Convex ribs provide strength and 
water run-off away from the fixings
Twin capillary breaks on the lap
Purpose designed leg provides support 
to the underlap
Steeply angled ribs provide superior strength and aesthetics
Installers feet fit neatly in the pan thereby avoiding damage to the ribs
Can be “reverse run” and the swage removed for use as a wall cladding
Lap can be altered in the reverse run process to ensure improved aesthetics and water tightness
Excellent water carrying capacity
Equally impressive for both roofing and 
cladding applications
Superior spanning at low roof pitch
Supported by Wind and Concentrated Load Span Design graphs derived from extensive industry test rig trials

APPLICATIONS

For industrial and commercial roofing and cladding projects where both high spanning and a low pitch is required
Residential roofing
Industrial and commercial horizontal and vertical cladding in both standard and reverse run applications
Rural and lifestyle roofing and cladding
Drape curving

MAINTENANCE

Reference should be made to the manufacturer for the appropriate finish for a particular environment. Zincalume based products should not be used in some special environments including intensive animal shelters. Areas unwashed by rain should be washed twice yearly. In severe and very severe environments post painting of galvanised and zincalume material is recommended.
