Choosing the perfect roofing material for industrial buildings is a big decision. It’s not just about structure. It’s about investing in strength, safety, and efficiency for the long haul. Factories, warehouses, workshops, and farms face tough conditions like moisture, sunlight, chemical pollution, and temperature changes. So, picking a roofing option that can handle these challenges is vital.
These buildings often cover huge spaces. They need materials that are strong yet light and simple to put up. The roofing must also keep heat in or out, support weight, and resist rust to last longer and cut down on repair costs.
TSP Steel Roof Sheets, like those made by Laizhou Jieli Industrial Co., Ltd., are a smart roofing choice. They’re built to fight harsh rust problems in industrial settings. These sheets use a special film tightly bonded to the steel. This film seals the steel completely, blocking all harmful substances that cause rust.
TSP Steel Roof Sheets have clear benefits over typical roofing materials.
Rust Resistance
They stand up to acids, alkalis, and salt, making them great for coastal areas, chemical plants, food factories, water treatment sites, farms, and mines. This is especially helpful in places like the Middle East or Latin America, where salty air or industrial pollutants speed up metal damage.
Weather Durability and Longevity
These sheets pass tough tests, like 1,000 hours of salt spray without rusting. They work well in hot conditions, handling temperatures from 165°C to 170°C. This makes them ideal for hot regions like Africa or the Middle East.
Lightweight and Easy to Install
Even with their strong features, these sheets are light compared to traditional steel plates. Jieli provides clear instructions for setting them up. They suggest overlapping methods based on wind and roof angles, making installation straightforward.
While TSP Steel Roof Sheets are made for roofs, steel plates serve a different purpose in industrial projects.
Steel plates are thicker than sheets, usually 4mm or more. They’re designed for strength, not flexibility. Factories make them by heating and rolling steel into flat pieces, cut to specific sizes.
Structural Support Components
Their thickness and strength make steel plates perfect for foundations in bridges or heavy structures that need to hold a lot of weight.
Heavy-Duty Flooring or Load-Bearing Applications
Steel plates work well for floors in busy areas or platforms for heavy equipment. They handle wear and tear better than other materials.
To choose the right material, you need to understand their differences.
Steel plates are thick, at least 4mm, while roof sheets are thinner, under 4mm. Sheets are designed for surface uses like roofs, not heavy-duty support.
Steel plates are stronger because of their thickness. They can carry heavier loads. Roof sheets are strong enough for roofing but aren’t meant for structural bases.
Unlike painted or coated sheets that get tiny holes and rust, the airtight film on these roof sheets offers better protection against harmful substances. This gives them an edge over steel plates and painted alternatives.
Roof sheets are lighter, so they’re easier to handle. Jieli’s guidelines suggest overlapping techniques that keep out weather and reduce setup time. Steel plates, being heavier, often need special machines and more work hours, increasing costs.
TSP Steel Roof Sheets come with a 15-year guarantee, reducing the need for frequent replacements. Regular materials may need replacing every 2–3 years due to rust or coating issues. This makes roof sheets a smarter choice for long-term savings.
The choice between roof sheets and steel plates depends on the project’s needs.
Warehouses cover large areas. Using roof sheets saves weight, which lowers building costs. Their rust resistance ensures they last, even in damp storage spaces.
Farms deal with harmful gases like ammonia from animal waste. These gases eat away at metal. Roof sheets resist acids, alkalis, and salts, making them perfect for poultry or dairy barns in warm places like Southeast Asia or Central America.
Choose steel plates for load-bearing floors in factories or bridge structures. They’re best when strength matters more than rust protection or heat control. They also handle impacts better than roof sheets.
Planning a budget means looking at both upfront and long-term costs.
Roof sheets are often cheaper than steel plates at first. But regular sheets may rust, leading to repair costs. With a 15-year warranty, these roof sheets save money over time, even if they cost a bit more upfront compared to basic painted options.
Light roof sheets cost less to ship per square meter than heavy steel plates. Their simple setup cuts down on work hours, which is a big help in remote places like Africa’s inland areas, where skilled workers are hard to find.
Started in 1992, Laizhou Jieli Industrial Co., Ltd. is ISO9001:2008 certified and has UL-approved products. With over 30 years of experience, they make advanced roofing solutions for industrial needs worldwide. They focus on quality and customer happiness, using unique technologies like the special adhesive for bonding films on their sheets.
Jieli’s products include:
With 22 automatic production lines, they deliver quickly to projects globally, from drug factories in Asia to mines in Latin America.
For industrial projects facing tough conditions—like chemical exposure in water treatment plants or strong sunlight on African farms—TSP Steel Roof Sheets offer excellent rust protection and heat resistance up to 170°C. They last longer, reducing replacement needs. Compared to painted metal sheets or even rust-prone stainless alloys, they cost less over time. Their lightweight design and easy setup make them a practical choice for large industrial roofs.
Q1: What makes TSP Steel Roof Sheets more rust-resistant than traditional painted sheets?
A: Painted sheets often have tiny holes from the painting process, which leads to rust spots. In contrast, these roof sheets use a tight film bonded to galvanized steel with a special adhesive developed by Jieli over five years. This seals out acids, alkalis, salts, and even sunlight, preventing rust entirely.
Q2: Can I use steel plates instead of roof sheets for my factory?
A: You could use steel plates for roofing because they’re strong. But they’re thicker (≥4mm), so they’re heavier and harder to install without special equipment. Roof sheets are lighter and designed for large industrial roofs. They also offer better heat control and easier setup.
Q3: How do TSP Steel Roof Sheets perform in extreme weather compared to other roofing materials?
A: TSP Steel Roof Sheets excel in extreme weather. They resist rust in salty or chemical-heavy environments, unlike painted sheets that corrode faster. They handle high heat (up to 170°C) and pass 1,000-hour salt spray tests, making them more durable than standard steel or coated options in harsh climates.
