Metal Deck

Metal deck profiles differ from corrugated roofing in that they use a trapezoidal (flat-topped) rib pattern rather than a sinusoidal wave. Common profiles in Australia include Lysaght Klip-Lok, Trimdek, and Spandek. The key advantage of concealed-fix profiles like Klip-Lok is that no screws penetrate the roof surface — instead, the sheets are held in place by clips that grip the ribs, eliminating the most common source of roof leaks on metal roofs. Metal deck roofing is available in both Colorbond and Zincalume finishes and can be used on very low-pitched roofs — some profiles are rated for pitches as low as 1 degree. This makes them particularly popular for modern architectural designs with flat or near-flat rooflines, as well as commercial and industrial buildings where large, uninterrupted roof spans are required. In the Gippsland region, metal deck roofing is increasingly specified for new homes and is the standard choice for commercial buildings, sheds, and agricultural structures. The concealed-fix system is especially advantageous in high-wind areas and regions that experience heavy rainfall, as it eliminates the risk of water ingress through screw holes.
