Economic, lightweight and easy to install, Corolux PVC is a versatile corrugated rooflight sheet for car ports, canopies and gazebos. It is easy to cut, drill and install with standard DIY tools and is available in a choice of corrugated profiles in clear or translucent tint options.
Please note these sheets are 0.8mm thick.
For a carport or lean too installation you will need :
A minimum slope of 5° is essential in any structure to ensure water run‐off: 10° or more is better.
Cutting sheets
Arrange the sheets loosely on the roof, and mark hole positions and any necessary saw cuts with a felt tip pen.
Sheets should overhang the roof by 60mm to allow rainfall to run-off into the gutter and should be wide enough to cover the barge board at the side.
If cutting is required use an angle grinder with a metal slitting blade or fine tooth saw at a shallow angle with light pressure. Support the sheet to minimise vibrations.
A good tip when cutting, is to sandwich the sheet between other sheets with the part to be removed protruding.
If a sheet has to be cut to a finished width, make the cut in the slope of the corrugated sheet.
Avoid drilling and cutting sheets in very cold weather.
Warm sheets will be less prone to damage.
Drilling sheets
Pre-drill sheets before fixing. Please note - holes for fixings must drilled larger than the fixing to allow for expansion. Typically 10mm for a 3m sheet.
Drill sheets singly with a masonry bit, using a low speed drill and light pressure. Support the sheet securely under each hole position when drilling.
There should be at least 5 fixings per support across the width of the sheet.
Joining sheets - end to end
If sheets need to be joined end to end, ensure an overlap of at least 150mm for a 10° slope or 300mm for a 5° slope.
Use a strip of Butyl Sealing Tape to prevent dust and dirt getting between the sheets.
