Agricultural and industrial roofing and cladding CEMSIX Corrugated sheets and accessories

Cembrit Cemsix fully compressed fibre cement sheet - the traditional 6 inch profile - can be used as a replacement on existing farm buildings, already incorporating 6 inch profile, without the need for changing purlin spacings. Fibre cement sheeting is the ideal material for all single skinned agricultural buildings. Cembrit companies have been manufacturing corrugated sheets since 1910. With nearly a century of production in fibre cement roofing and cladding, we are able to draw on experience of installation across the whole of Europe. Combined with the latest technological advances, our fully...

1. Better manufacturing process gives better consistency of sheets Fully compressed Cemsix corrugated sheets are manufactured on state of the art, modern production lines to ensure the highest quality, most durable products. 1. Better manufacturing processes With the latest technology and manufacturing equipment, our presses have an 75 kg/cm2 tonne compression capability to increase density and consistency of sheets. 2a&b Superior colouration The Cembrit 4-part process offers a more even and visually appealing finish incorporating a coloured primer and top coat (see also page 7). 3. Better tolerances...

Cemsix corrugated sheets Coloured top coat Coated edges Primer coat Anti-block on underside Polypropylene reinforcing strips Coloured edges and ends Features and benefits of fibre cement corrugated sheets Corrosion resistant Fibre cement is rust and rot free and able to cope with external weathering as well as the aggressive atmospheres within some livestock buildings. Lower noise levels Steel cladding materials generate high levels of wind chatter and rain drum. Fibre cement minimises these acoustic issues and creates a benign internal environment. Reinforcement strips These polypropylene strips...

Produced in the traditional 6" UK profile with 6 corrugations and overlaps/underlaps on both sides of the sheet, Cemsix is available in three colour options, both with matching accessories. 1 Traditional grey fibre-cement corrugated sheet 2 Coloured corrugated sheet 3 Cemscape Anthracite, a muted finish to give a pre-weathered appearance All sheets and fittings incorporate our unique 3 stage coating process. * Size available as translucent sheet Maximum purlin centres

Cemsix corrugated accessories 1. Cemsix cranked crown ridge To suit a variety of roof pitches. 3 Girths to provide smooth closure of roof apex. 6. Cemsix barge board 2. Cemsix cranked crown ventilation ridge Normally used in single-skin construction, particularly in agricultural buildings. This fitment may not be fully weatherproof in swirling snow or rain. Used to close verge at gable ends. Nominal 200mm wing for single skin constructions and 300mm x 300mm for double skin. 7. Cemsix roll top bargeboard Used to close verge at gable ends. Nominal 200mm wing for single skin constructions and 300mm...

16. Cemsix open ridge Used in conjunction with plain wing bargeboard and close fitting ridges. Prevents rain ingress through ridge where sheets finish short to allow ventilation through apex of roof. 12. Plain wing angle ridge Available in 300 x 300 wing and 240 x 240 wing 5º to 60º in 5º increments Dimensions 1500mm long with spigot Net cover: 1350mm 17. Cemsix movement joint Dimensions Length: 1200mm Net cover: 1080mm 13. Cemsix apron flashing piece Used where cladding changes from pitched to vertical or where sloping roof abuts a brick wall. Used in long stretches of roofing and cladding to...

Performance Condensation and rust resistance Rain drum and animal welfare Cemsix Corrugated sheets and accessories are manfactured from fully compressed fibre cement. Unlike steel, fibre cement is not susceptible to rust and the degradation in appearance and performance that rust causes, particularly around fixings at lower laps of sheets, leading to increase repair and maintenance costs. Fibre cement has a far higher level of acoustic absoption that steel and does not transmit rain impact noise or the noises caused by wind chatter so readily. This means less disturbance to the livestock within,...

Design Cemsix corrugated sheet can be fixed to steel, concrete or timber purlins. Fixing holes should be predrilled, or selfdrilling, self-tapping top fix fixings can be used (see page 25). Fixing should be undertaken according to BS 8219: 2001. PURLINS: the horizontal bars on the roof to which the sheets are fixed Eaves filler or eaves closure pieces Direction of lay left to right. Purlin spacings should be a maximum of 1375mm with two fixings per purlin per sheet. Movement joints and cranked movement joints run eaves-ridge-eaves Cranked, two piece, plain wing angled or ventilated ridge units...

Mitring scheme To avoid 4 layers of overlapping roof sheets, the corners of two sheets must be mitred. Sheets on the perimeter of the roof will have one mitre (except the first and last sheets which remain complete), all other sheets will therefore have two mitres. Each mitre must be cut straight and cleanly either by hand or by power saw. The angle and size of mitre is governed by the end and side lap dimensions. It is recommended that a good quality butyl mastic strip is used to seal the overlapping sheets to provide a weatherproof join. Two corners of opposing sheets should be mitred the equivalent...

Overlap sealing The overlaps on low pitched roofs should be sealed with butyl strips, creating a windproof joint and protecting the fixing holes from wind driven precipitation. Dotted line shows butyl strip applied beneath bottom and left hand edge of each sheet. Strips on successive sheets form a complete seal. Prevailing wind direction Example: Butyl strip is shown in dotted white beneath the Cemsix sheet (coloured orange for clarity) and in solid white below the (grey) Cemsix sheet in the next course above and below the adjacent (grey) sheet to the right.
