Bølgeplate

Bølgeplate, also known as corrugated sheeting, is a building material characterized by its alternating raised and lowered ridges. This wavy or ribbed pattern is its defining feature. It is typically manufactured from metal, such as steel or aluminum, or from plastic materials like polycarbonate or PVC. The corrugation process not only gives the material its name but also significantly enhances its structural strength and rigidity without a proportional increase in weight.

The primary application of bølgeplate is in roofing and cladding for various structures. Its corrugated form allows for efficient shedding of water, making it an effective material for protecting buildings from the elements. The strength provided by the ridges enables it to span longer distances between supports, reducing the need for extensive structural framing. This makes it a cost-effective and practical choice for agricultural buildings, industrial warehouses, garages, and even some residential applications.

Bølgeplate is known for its durability and resistance to corrosion, especially when made from galvanized steel or aluminum. Plastic versions offer advantages such as transparency, impact resistance, and a lighter weight. Installation is generally straightforward due to its interlocking nature and the availability of specialized fasteners. The material comes in various profiles, sheet widths, and lengths to suit different design and structural requirements. Its widespread use is a testament to its functional design and economic benefits in construction.
