Gravity Building Supplies & Hardware in Zimbabwe supplies a wide range of roofing products which are readily available and consist of Corrugated, and IBR Steel Roofing profiles with thicknesses ranging from 0,25-0,58 mm.

These products are supplied to roofing contractors, merchants, low-cost housing developments and the DIY markets. All steel roofing solutions are available in a Galvanised finish or various Chromadek colours.

Chromadek cut-to-length facilities can accommodate 0,5-6,0 mm thicknesses and 925-1500 mm widths.

Corrugated Steel Roof sheeting is a strong and affordable solution to residential, industrial and commercial roofing requirements, and offers the benefits of being simultaneously more durable and more recyclable than any other roof sheeting on the market.

The industry favours three common profiles: Corrugated Iron, IBR and QTiles.

Contrary to its name, Corrugated Iron is a Steel Roofing Sheet, and has a classic S-rib profile. Inverted Box Rib (IBR) has a square fluted profile, and is currently the most popular corrugated roofing sheet, given its high strength-to-weight ratio, optimal loadspan consistency and effective drainage.
