Industrial Shed Repairs and Maintenance

March 30, 2016

True Blue Roofing Pty Ltd have recently completed some roof repairs and maintenance work on Industrial Shedding near Geelong.  Geelong is a city located 75km southwest of the State capital Melbourne and is a central location to surrounding Victorian regional centres such as Ballarat, Torquay, Great Ocean Road, Hamilton, Colac, Winchelsea and Warrnambool.

We were called in to do some roof repairs and maintenance to this Industrial shedding which included the removal of old Fibreglass corrugated sheeting and replacement with an Ampelite Product called Wonderglas in ‘Super Six’ profile roof panels.

This is how the shed looked when we arrived from the rooftop:

As clearly shown in the photo above, the old Fibreglass sheeting can over time:

  • lose transperancy / daylight access to space underneath
  • become damaged
  • become mouldy
  • cause leaks

Wonderglas is described on the Ampelite website as follows:

“The highly UV resistant protection applied to Wonderglas GCP provides similar performance to Ampelite’s premium industrial grades used in major projects around Australia. Even in harsh environments, including the far north, Wonderglas GCP will out perform other domestic translucent and clear roofing materials.  Loss of light transmission even over long periods of 10 to 12 years is around just 10% compared to a 35% loss for standard sheeting. Ampelite’s manufacturing process ensures that each phase of production is absolutely consistent from batch to batch.

Wonderglas GCP is available in Corrugated and 5 Rib profiles in exciting colours.  Coloured sheets provide softer light and transmit less heat.  Choose Wonderglas GCP for home improvement projects where-ever you need light and protection. Wonderglas GCP eliminates 99.9% of the sun’s harmful ultra violet rays, so you can really enjoy outdoor living without UV exposure.

Expansion and contraction is less than other translucent roofing, so there is no need to use anti-noise tape under the sheet.  It is also hail resistant. Wonderglas GCP sheeting resists scratching, is light, easily drilled or sawn and quickly fixed to roofing timbers using Ampelite screws and sealing washers.  Sheets can be curved, so you can create a great look.  For a neat finish install our profiled end closure strips.

The new Wonderglas Fibreglass sheeting is a newer and far superior product than that that we have removed from this shed.  The following photo gallery are the photos taken of the project AFTER we have replaced the old Fibreglass with the new Ampelite Wonderglas product, as you can see the amount of light now accessing the shed has dramatically increased, providing a more inviting, usable workspace below.
