1️⃣ What Are Corrugated Roofing Sheets?
Corrugated roofing sheets are profiled metal or plastic panels formed into wave or trapezoidal patterns to enhance load-bearing capacity, rigidity, and drainage efficiency while maintaining lightweight and ease of installation.
They are widely applied in industrial buildings, warehouses, agricultural facilities, commercial roofs, and residential projects, where durability, cost efficiency, and installation speed are critical. Depending on project requirements, materials include:
Galvanized steel (GI)
Galvalume / Aluzinc steel (AZ)
Pre-painted steel sheets (PPGI / PPGL)
Aluminum sheets
Polycarbonate or plastic roofing sheets
For global buyers seeking high-performance corrugated roofing sheets, Hengze Steel offers a complete range of options, backed by industry-standard quality and professional consultation.
Understanding how corrugated roofing sheets price per square meter varies by material, thickness, and coating is essential for accurate budgeting and long-term cost management.
2️⃣ Key Factors Affecting Corrugated Roofing Sheets Price
The final price of corrugated roofing sheets depends on multiple technical and market variables.
Material Type
Material is the primary factor influencing cost.
Galvanized steel: Lowest cost, moderate corrosion resistance
Galvalume / AZ: Superior corrosion protection, higher price
Pre-painted sheets (PPGI / PPGL): Added visual appeal and coating durability
Aluminum: Lightweight and highly corrosion-resistant, premium cost
Sheet Thickness
Thickness directly affects steel consumption, strength, and wind/snow load performance. Buyers frequently compare corrugated roofing sheets cost by thickness, as even small changes can impact the budget significantly.
Coating & Surface Treatment
Protective coatings such as PE, SMP, or PVDF enhance weather resistance and color retention but increase manufacturing cost. Selecting an appropriate coating can reduce long-term maintenance.
Profile Design & Dimensions
Effective cover width, corrugation depth, and custom sheet length affect unit cost. Non-standard sizes or special profiles generally carry higher prices.
Market & Supply Chain Factors
Raw material price fluctuations, freight costs, order quantity, and regional supply-demand balance impact Hengze Steel’s pricing and other supplier quotations.
3️⃣ Corrugated Roofing Sheets Cost by Material Type
Galvanized Steel Corrugated Sheets
Widely used in industrial and agricultural roofing
Cost-effective solution
Typical reference: USD 350–650 / MT (FOB Asia)
Galvalume / Aluzinc Corrugated Sheets
Aluminum-zinc coating for superior corrosion resistance
Preferred for humid or coastal areas
Reference: USD 500–800 / MT
Pre-Painted Corrugated Sheets (PPGI / PPGL)
Combines structural strength with color coating
Popular for warehouses and commercial roofs
Reference: USD 550–950 / MT
Aluminum Corrugated Sheets
Lightweight, rust-free, premium durability
Ideal for coastal or chemical environments
Reference: USD 1,300–3,300 / MT
Polycarbonate / Plastic Sheets
Used for daylighting or translucent roofing applications
Cost varies with thickness, UV protection, and impact resistance
Hengze Steel supplies all these material options with consistent quality standards, helping clients select the optimal roofing solution for budget and performance.
4️⃣ Corrugated Roofing Sheets Price by Thickness
0.3–0.5 mm (Light Gauge)
Lowest cost, suitable for temporary buildings or sheds
Limited structural and wind resistance
0.5–0.7 mm (Medium Gauge)
Widely used for residential and commercial roofs
Balance between strength, durability, and price
0.7–1.2 mm+ (Heavy Gauge)
Industrial facilities, long-span roofs, or high wind/snow zones
Higher material cost justified by improved structural safety
Rule of thumb: Every 0.1 mm increase in thickness significantly raises corrugated metal roofing sheets price per sqm, even for the same material type.
5️⃣ Regional Market Price Comparison
Pricing varies by region due to local manufacturing, labor cost, and transport:
Asia & Africa: Competitive pricing, local manufacturing capacity
Middle East: Preference for corrosion-resistant options (Galvalume or Aluminum)
Europe & North America: Higher material and labor costs, stricter standards
Hengze Steel offers both FOB and delivered pricing, helping clients understand total project cost including logistics, import duties, and inland transportation.
6️⃣ Practical Tips to Control Roofing Procurement Cost
Choose thickness based on actual load requirements
Select material according to environmental exposure to avoid premature corrosion
Compare multiple supplier quotes, considering coating quality and warranty
Bulk purchasing to reduce unit cost
Consider total system cost, including fasteners, flashing, and installation labor
A slightly higher material cost can reduce maintenance and replacement expenses, improving lifecycle value.
7️⃣ Conclusion: Balancing Cost and Performance
The best corrugated roofing solution balances cost, performance, and environmental requirements:
✅ Budget-limited, low-corrosion environment → Galvanized steel, medium thickness
✅ Long-term commercial or residential roofs → PPGI / Galvalume sheets
✅ High corrosion or coastal zones → Aluminum or Galvalume heavy-gauge sheets
By understanding corrugated roofing sheets cost by material and thickness, buyers and contractors can make informed decisions that optimize both initial investment and long-term value.
Hengze Steel supports clients worldwide with high-quality roofing materials, professional guidance, and competitive pricing, ensuring optimal performance across all project types.
