Overview

Wider sheets, faster roofing

Dragon IT5 roofing sheets are a box-profile mabati with an effective cover width of 1015 mm, wider than a standard box profile. Because each sheet covers more of the roof, you need fewer sheets and make fewer side laps, which saves time on site and reduces the number of joints where water could enter.

The trapezoidal ribs give the sheet stiffness and a clean, modern look, and an anti-capillary groove along the overlap helps stop water being drawn back under the sheet. IT5 comes in gauge 28 to 30 with the matching accessories you need, including ridge caps, valleys and roofing nails.

Where to use IT5

IT5 suits family homes, schools, health facilities, offices and warehouses. Choose from our standard colours or ask about the full range of 16+ colours. Order at any of our eight branches in Dar es Salaam, Arusha, Mwanza, Mbeya, Tabora, Tanga, Dodoma and Makambako.
