Bølgeplater

Bølgeplater, also known as corrugated sheets, are building materials characterized by their wavy or ribbed surface. This corrugated design is not merely aesthetic but provides significant structural advantages, increasing rigidity and load-bearing capacity compared to flat sheets of the same material and thickness. They are commonly manufactured from a variety of materials, including metal (such as steel and aluminum), plastic (like polycarbonate and PVC), and fiber cement.

The primary applications for bølgeplater are in roofing and cladding. Their interlocking nature when installed allows for effective water drainage, making them a popular choice for sheds, industrial buildings, agricultural structures, and even residential homes. The corrugated profile also helps in distributing weight and resisting wind pressure. Metal bølgeplater are often galvanized or coated to prevent rust and corrosion, extending their lifespan. Plastic versions offer lightweight alternatives with good light transmission properties, useful for greenhouses or covered walkways. Fiber cement bølgeplater are known for their durability, fire resistance, and low maintenance requirements. The manufacturing process involves passing the chosen material through rollers to create the characteristic wave pattern. The dimensions and profile of the waves can vary depending on the intended use and the material properties.
