Construction and repair by own hands

Profiled yellow. Variety of colors of corrugated board

The main criteria for choosing a profiled sheet are its purpose, dimensional characteristics, and the type of protective coating. If the application of this material also pursues decorative and decorative purposes, its appearance and color become decisive when buying.

1 Color catalogs - RAL and other standards

Not only galvanized. Almost on most of this material, a layer of polymer or special paint is applied over the zinc, which serves as an additional protection and significantly increases the service life of the corrugated board.In addition to this, it is very important for the construction industry that polymeric coatings of profiled sheets can be of almost any color. Due to this, the scope of such material is significantly expanded, extending to its use in the implementation of original, bold design solutions.

To make it easier to navigate in a variety of shades, different colors of the coatings of the profiled sheet, all its colors have a certain individual marking and are summarized in a single table.

Such unified color scales were developed by specialists of leading manufacturers. Currently, four such standards are most common in Europe and Russia:

  • RAL - German, developed by the very first in 1927 institute of quality and certification. Includes the widest and most diverse standardized range of profiled sheets. Each color corresponds to a digital marking. This standardization is applied most often, and by very different manufacturers.
  • RR - belongs to the Finnish company Ruukki. Includes 24 colors, has a two-digit number designation, is quite popular.
  • PRELAQ - developed by the Swedish concern SSAB. 16 colors, which are marked with a three-digit number code, is also quite common.
  • HPS - English, catalog HPS200. Occurs less often than all others, the designation is a four-digit number and sometimes with one Latin letter.

The color palettes of all standards have quite a significant difference from each other. Selecting a corrugated sheet by color, usually have to deal with the RAL standard and its shades - among the producers of this material it is the most popular. To simplify the procedure for selecting and purchasing the profiled sheet of the desired coloring at the outlets, special sets of cards or tables are offered in which each sample of a certain color is indicated by the corresponding code.

2 Standard RAL Classic and color coding in it

RAL-colors differ in saturation and brightness. In addition to the digital code, each shade of the palette corresponds to an individual name. There are 4 RAL catalogs and each has its own peculiarities:

When you usually apply the Classic standard. Today it has more than a thousand shades. In its four-digit index, the first digit indicates a certain series of coating grades based on the primary color: 1xxx - shades of yellow, 2xxx - orange, 3xxx - red, 4xxx - violet, 5xxx - blue, 6xxx - green, 7xxx - gray, 8xxx - brown, 9xxx - dark and light (black and white). This classification allows you to quickly and accurately pick the required color of the profiled sheet, excluding the dependence on its specific manufacturer.

3 The most common colors of the profiled sheet

In the manufacture of a colored profiled sheet, not all shades of the modern RAL range are used, but only the most commonly used, popular ones. As the current practice shows, customers most often prefer green, burgundy and brown shades from the offered by the manufacturers. However, also popular profiled colors of stone and wood. But black and white material is not in favor. The greatest demand is for the following RAL colors:

  • signal blue with code 5005;
  • 3005 - wine red (dark red);
  • 6005 - green moss (dark green);
  • 7004 - gray signal;
  • 7024 - gray graphite (dark gray);
  • 8017 - chocolate brown (dark brown).

A cornflower under the color of vegetation, used for facing the facade of a house or a fence, helps compensate for the lack of trees and greenery. No less successful in the environment of nature fit yellowish-brown and light gray shades. Blue and blue colors cause the association of coolness, and orange invariably evokes cheerfulness, which attracts. Warm brown, burgundy and red or cold blue and lilac tones can instantly change the familiar appearance of the familiar building. Gray color, being essentially neutral, can be used either alone or in combination with any other almost unlimited. Different shades of gray can make a house, another object is unremarkable or vice versa, it can be distinguished against the background of the rest of the exterior - it all depends on the combination with the latter and the profiled sheet, material of a different color.

4 Color matching for the roof and other parts of the house

For the roof, you can choose any color - from black to white. But it should be remembered that any structure should be harmonious in itself, and also fit into the environment of other buildings and the natural environment. In addition, although the corrugated sheet does not require special care (it is easy enough to wash it under running water even without a detergent), the product should be as practical as possible in color. The last condition is the least consistent with the white material, even when installed on the roof.

In the case of your home and the desire to fully polish it with a colored proflist, the following options exist: the material for the roof is selected to the shade of the facade, and the wall profiled sheeting, with roofing, is chosen as the roof color. must correspond to the overall color composition and design of the structure. The most common are shades of brown, green, burgundy and gray. They are in harmony with almost all facade materials.

For private construction, the most common of the following colors is purchased: RAL 8017, 3005, 6005. In many respects it is determined by the fact that these shades perfectly match with the facade materials and are perfectly suited for both the roof and the fence (especially the first option) . It is not necessary to use these colors for facade cladding - they are excessively dark and the house is likely to produce quite a depressing impression. And for finishing the socle, other individual elements, they are perfect.

The colored corrugated board 8017 as a roofing very well harmonizes with almost any siding of light shades, especially relevant in the case of a facade lined with natural stone or brick. Shades 3005 and 6005 are the most suitable for the roofs of wooden buildings.

For fences often use material of color 7004. Very original and aesthetic looks fence made of corrugated board 7024 with pillars of beige-brown and decorative bricks.

Color corrugated board at a price of about 30% more expensive than galvanized, but a significant proportion of buyers choose it. The color palette of profiled sheeting, which is offered by modern manufacturers, opens up opportunities for a variety of design solutions. However, picking the coloring of corrugated board in each specific case is not always easy.

In our review, we will offer some general tips on this topic, and also talk about the best application of the most popular colors.

RAL - German color standard

Before you buy a corrugated board with a color coating, you need to determine the number of the shade. To denote the exact color, domestic manufacturers often use the German standard RAL. This color catalog, developed back in 1927, is used in the global paint and varnish industry, as well as in other industries where accurate color matching is important. Each shade here is denoted by a four-digit number. The first digit indicates the group of the base color: 1 - yellow, 2 - orange, 3 - red, 4 - violet, 5 - blue, 6 - green, 7 - gray, 8 - brown, 9 - black and white.

Denoting the color of corrugated board according to RAL, manufacturers give the opportunity to select the color of the fastening elements to it and construction Materials: siding, colored panels, paint.

In the RAL catalog the colors of the corrugated board are indicated not only by the number, but also by the name, which is also the same for all manufacturers. For example, corrugated board "Green moss" - a specific shade № 6005.

What colors are the corrugated board?

Each manufacturer of corrugated board has its own color scheme, but it, as a rule, includes all popular shades.


Attention! Along with the standardRAL  manufacturers use other color catalogs:RR  - from the Finnish manufacturer Ruukki,SSAB  - from the Swedish manufacturer Plannja and others.

For buyers of corrugated board, choosing the color is very important. Gone are the times when the material was used for temporary buildings or buildings without an aesthetic load (sheds, hangars, warehouses).

Now with the help of colored corrugated sheet do dacha fences, roofs country houses, gates, balcony parapets. They are lined with shopping pavilions, kiosks, shops and other objects that should look attractive.

Because of the unsuccessful color, the building may look boring, ridiculous, lurid, irritating or in combination with other colors there will be obvious dissonance. Producers of corrugated sheets do not depend on color, unless it is a sheet with a decorative photographic print.

Basic principles of color matching:

Rule number 1

In the corrugated board for dacha fence, the outer side should be made darker and the inner side light. On a dark background, dust is not visible, and the shades themselves look noble and attractive. A light tint from the side of the plot will visually increase the space, while with the dark fence the site will appear smaller.


Rule number 2

When choosing a roofing profile, the combination of colors must obey one of the following principles:

  • A light facade and a dark roof. - the most common combination, in which it is easier to choose shades
  • The dark facade (stone, brick lining, natural logs or beams) and the roof of a saturated dark color (dark blue, brown, dark red, dark green).
  • The dark facade and roof light gray or metallic hue - here the best combination is the hardest to pick.


In the color of the roof can be framed framing of windows, shutters, framing of doors, vertical and horizontal ribbon elements of the facade. If the walls of the house are faced with siding, consider that eventually it will fade in the sun, while the polymer coating of the roof profiled sheet will retain its color.

Attention! The use of dark corrugated roofing for roofs in regions with hot climates is not recommended, since the material heats up in the sun, which contributes to the rapid destruction of the polymer coating.

Rule number 3

When facing the facades of pavilions, warehouses, hangars, shops, it is best to use a corrugated board of two or three matching colors. Large single-colored facades look boring.


Popular colors of corrugated board

Profiled sheeting of green color  is represented in several shades. Of these, the most popular is the corrugated board " green moss»- RAL 6005. The color fits perfectly into the green landscape, combined with a shade of the earth, so it is often used in dacha enclosures made from corrugated board, as well as to cover the roof. "Green moss" - a good option for a house lined with brick / panels for brick. The dark green roof is organically combined with gray, beige and pale yellow facades.


Another popular shade is " lawn grass"(RAL 6002) - juicy and bright. It will suit you if you need to create a "cheerful" fence or a noticeable facade.

White corrugated board, and corrugated beige and gray shade  little suitable for roofing. On a light background, dust and dirt are too clearly visible. In addition, a white or beige roof is nonsense in terms of design. The gray one (corrugated sheet RAL 7004) has a right to exist.

Light colors found their application in the decoration of facades and balcony parapets. So, profiled RAL 9003 - signal white - the most popular in the facade decoration, as it combines with any color-companion except for dark shades. Cream or beige profiled Ivory (RAL 1014, 1015) - a shade gentle, warm and more practical than white. With its help you can give the facade a cosiness. The gray facade in the right color frame looks strictly and nobly.

Gray and beige profiled sheeting are often used for fences. Such fences look light and perfectly expand the space, but they will have to be washed quite often.


Brown corrugated board  confidently registered in the countryside suburban areas. This is the ideal corrugated board for fence and roofing. The most popular color of corrugated board is RAL 8017 "chocolate". What is its advantage? A rich and noble shade, on which dirt is almost imperceptible. Chocolate corrugated board fits perfectly into the natural landscape.

Especially comfortable look roofs made of brown corrugated board in combination with a gentle light facade. Brick or wooden facade  with him also "friendly", if, of course, not too dark. In short, this is a color to which it is very easy to choose the right combination.


For those who like bright solutions, it is impossible to pass by corrugated board of red tintat. Here, more often than not, the RAL 3005 corrugated board "red wine" or "cherry" is meant. A noble ruby ​​color will make your structure noticeable among many others. A classic combination is the roof of the color "red wine" and a light yellow facade.

Also, the facade can be made beige, light gray, tender pink. Red roof - the best option  for a house from a natural tree. This color is not suitable except for a house made of red brick, because close shades do not create the necessary contrast. Also from the corrugated board 3005 magnificent fences are obtained. They are not bright, not too dark, and the green vegetation on their background looks even juicier and brighter.

Also a popular shade is the corrugated board 3011 - terracotta (red-brown). In it, even more southern mood, because the color resembles a shade of shingles of seaside towns.


It is represented by several popular shades. Among them, profiled sheeting RAL 5005 - signal-blue. Bright refreshing shade is perfect for the facade of a city building, shop, warehouse, pavilion, industrial workshop, small architectural forms (kiosks, etc.). It is combined with white, beige, gray profiled sheeting.

A fence of blue corrugated boarding at the dacha is recommended to be done only if the roof of the house is painted in the same color. The fact is that the blue color is not at all combined with the green and brown colors of the landscape. If you decide to make a blue roof, then the best color of the facade will be white, light gray, light blue, beige, light yellow. Not bad will look red and sand brick, but with the wood cold signal-blue shade is combined not in the best way.


Another popular shade corrugated board "sea wave"  (RAL 5021) is much in demand because it is difficult to find the right combination for it.

Cheerful yellow corrugated board  - RAL 1018 "yellow zinc" - suitable for a bright facade or fencing. For the roof it is used extremely rarely. Color always attracts attention and blends well with blue, green, purple, gray shades. Be careful to use it with black (associated with danger) and red (both colors are too bright).


Profiled sheeting black  (RAL 9004) is rarely used. Usually it can be found on the facades in combination with other colors of the material (white, gray, etc.).

In conclusion, let's say that our advice on choosing the color of corrugated board is just a generalization of experience. You can always take a chance and find a new original combination of shades that will make your object unique.

If you come up with a choice of color profiled sheeting with all seriousness, then to help you will be special programs and applications that allow you to model the future construction and "try on" it a different color, like, for example, in the following clip:

Fence is an important component of the house, it is able not only to protect it from extraneous views, but also to decorate, to emphasize its status.

And the fence of the painted corrugated board in this case can be very useful. The decisive factor for success is the correctly chosen color.

Secrets of popularity

Profiled sheeting today is very popular in building materials.   And the secret of this popularity has 3 main components:

  1. Cost-effective: the optimal price-quality ratio.
  2. Durability. Serves for a long time, does not require special care.
  3. Aesthetics. Due to the color and beautiful wavy profile it is able to decorate the structure very much.

If we add to this that the corrugated board is simple and easy to install, and its quality characteristics continue to evolve and improve, then it should not be surprising that today not only roofs and fences are made of it, but also gazebos, garages, canopies, sheds and others. outbuildings.

What color to choose?


When choosing a corrugated board, repulse, first of all, from the goal and the task - what will be done of it.

Roof and fence require a different thickness of metal and the profile for them will also be different. But no less important is the choice of the color of the corrugated board.

At first, color coating changes the quality characteristics of corrugated board. Due to the fact that the coating is of different thickness and structure and is made in different colors, the life of the material changes.

Secondly, the design of the fence depends on the aesthetic appearance of the house, the plot, the whole ensemble as a whole. Incorrect choice of the color of the corrugated board for the fence can "kill" the whole garden and park design. And you can make it so that the house will play and will look much more orderly.

How to choose a fence color: 7 rules

You can easily choose the color of corrugated board for a fence if you know simple rules.

  1. The main rule: the color of the roof is selected under the facade of the house, and the color of the fence - under the roof. It is possible and under the building as a whole. But here a lot depends on the taste of the owner. For example, today the Mediterranean style with a light pastel color is in fashion. In this case, the fence of a light gray profiled sheet will look very harmonious with a bright blue metal roof.
  2. Customer Desire. What is he striving for: surprise, excel from neighbors or make "like everyone else"? For each task - its own shade.
  3. If the stone fence posts, then the choice of color is usually limited to chocolate brown or beige. It turns out very elegant.
  4. If the patio is small, then the fence of corrugated gray color will help visually increase the space.
  5. If you want security, and the yard size differs in scale, then safely choose a dark shade of the profiled sheet.
  6. If the house is faced with a wild stone, if it has a white or gray plaster facade, the fence made of red profiled sheet will be a bright accent and adornment.
  7. If you want the fence to merge with the environment, then do not choose a fence of green corrugated board, choose from blue, to the color of the sky. The blue fence made of corrugated board, in addition, looks very elegant.

The most popular colors (in harmony with nature):

  • Brown and dark brown;
  • Dark green and green;
  • Bordeaux or wine-red, the color of Brazilian cherry;
  • Blue;
  • Light gray.

The most risky colors for a fence (with them it is necessary to be able to work):

  • Red;
  • Yellow fence made of corrugated board.

The latest ideas for colored corrugated board:

  • Sheets with a pattern that imitates the texture of the tree.
  • With a pattern that mimics the texture of a stone, a brick.
  • With camouflage pattern.

How does profnastil take on color?

A colored polymer coating is applied to the galvanized metal sheet. It not only carries an aesthetic function, but also a protective function, increasing at times the service life of the material.

Recently, a corrugated board with a pattern imitating the structure of the tree (the color of stained oak, alpine pine), natural stone, military camouflage.

It is obtained by applying the desired pattern with offset technology on the galvanized sheet.

Fact:  ordinary galvanized sheet withstands corrosion for 20 years. A painted, with a polymer coating - up to 50 years.

Also, recently profiled, painted on both sides, is popular. It is not much more expensive than one-sided, but the fence from it loses "the wrong side" and is equally beautiful, both outside and inside. Painted corrugated board for fence adds to the fence not only aesthetics, but also durability.

Types of polymer coating

There are several types of polymer coating. The most durable of them - plastisol. The thickness of this type of coating is 200 microns. It has excellent anti-corrosion properties.

If your fence is exposed to the active environment (for example, the sea shore with salt spray), then you need to choose a corrugated board with a polymer coating of plastisol.


But the palette in this case does not differ in variety  - white, black, cream and burgundy colors.

  • Polyester or polyester paint.One of the most popular with the consumer. The table of colors of this type of coating is very diverse, which gives a large choice of colors for corrugated board for fence .   The standard thickness of this coating is 25 microns for glossy and 35 for matte.
  • PVDF  (acrylic paints) - the thickness of the coating is 20-40 microns. The modern leader. Super-anticorrosive properties of PVDF are valued.
  • Pural  - polyurethane-polyamide paint.

Important!  The cost of each type of coverage is different. Color corrugated board for a fence with a coating of plastisol, purala and PVDF is more expensive than a profiled sheet with a polyester color.

Why paint the corrugated board?

Reasons to paint a fence of corrugated board can be several:

  • The sheet was scratched during transportation.
  • To extend the life of the galvanized sheet.
  • You need to update the faded paint.
  • Painting a fence of profiled sheeting is sometimes required for aesthetic reasons, dictated by a design decision.

5 paint application technologies:

  1. Electrostatic painting - suitable for painting a sheet with a wavy and slightly curved surface.
  2. Powder painting is the most durable. Able to withstand minus 60 degrees and plus 150. But for this method you need a thermocamera.
  3. Pneumatic painting is a great expense of paint. Suitable for painting the proflist at home.
  4. Airless painting is good for flat surfaces.

Palette of colors RAL

In order for the customer and the performer to understand each other in such a delicate matter as a shade of color, a general classification system is necessary, eliminating the errors of cases when someone sees the yellow "not quite yellow, rather ocher," or does not distinguish tones at all.

There is a single standard, created specifically for the paint and varnish industry. It was invented and developed by the Germans back in 1927, calling it "RAL".

The entire RAL standard is divided into color segments, each of which is clearly marked with numbers, assigning each hue a 4-digit index number. The numerical designation was very convenient, in all languages ​​the numbers look the same.

To date, the RAL table has 213 colors, 17 of which are metallic.



All colors of the catalog are divided into 9 series - yellow, orange, purple, red, blue, green, brown, gray, black and white. The shades of each series are many.

On this scale, you can choose the colors of the corrugated board for the fence - this is very convenient and simple. And although the German scale of colors is not the only existing one (there is Finnish RR and Swedish PRELA), but the most popular one.

Conclusion: the fence of the painted corrugated board is better than that of the unpainted one. Not only that, colored fences are beautiful. With the right shade, they acquire not only character, but also strength. And these two components in construction and design are very important.

Exterior of the house is created with the help of certain shades of building materials. We suggest to consider how the RAL profiled sheeting is distinguished, what is the standard and extended color catalog, and whether specifications  material from its color.

What is RAL?

RAL is a color matching system that is used in Europe to select the right shade. In colloquial speech, RAL refers to the RAL Classic system, it is mainly used for paint and powder coating, modern production is widely used also for covering of corrugated board, plastic products, wood, metal tile also breaks. Sale of approved RAL products from 2013 is carried out only with the use of a special hologram on materials in order to minimize fakes of color combinations. Profiled sheeting can under different light sources visually look different shades, which is unacceptable for world standards.

Characteristics of corrugated board and colors

Characteristics of corrugated board does not depend on RAL shades, if the wall material c10, c15, c20, c21, c44 is painted in shades 1014, 3005, 9003, then its thickness and weight will in any case be standard, specified by GOST. This is the advantage of the profiled sheet over all other materials for covering the walls and roof. At any time, you can easily change the cover to a different color, in order to refresh the interior, paint the yard with bright colors or strengthen the roof.

The most popular is galvanized corrugated sheet coated with a polymer coating. What kind advantages  has such sheet:

  1. It has more thickness (by 0.5 mm);
  2. It is distinguished by higher indicators of resistance to corrosion, destruction, atmospheric phenomena;
  3. Better transfers transport, installation, shock loads;
  4. It is better tolerated installation, but it is preferable to cover the self-tapping with a primer after installation;
  5. Such material can be installed in different climatic zones (as in extreme conditions with temperatures dropping to 40 degrees below zero, and in very warm regions).

Production of profile sheet

Painted corrugated RAL color is manufactured using the same technology as a simple galvanized sheet, with the exception of the last stage of production, where a color scheme is introduced. When the corrugated rolled steel enters the guillotine shears, it is not simply cut off and packaged, but redirected from the manufacturing department to the painting shop.

Paint application  can be carried out by several methods: high pressure  and by electrolysis. In the first case, the material is installed in a special device, and the paint (Pural, Rannila) begins to be sprayed under very high pressure. This option is acceptable for interroom sheets, because The paint does not penetrate deep into the structure of the metal.

In the second case, together with the paintwork material, a high-frequency current is fed to the profile sheet. Due to this, the upper layer of the metal melts, the molecules of steel and the paint come into interaction. This coating is distinguished by its strength and high quality. Basically, the profile flooring for the roof, fence, siding-works and other external options of the installation is painted.

More resistant to the effects of an aggressive environment is a double-sided painted corrugated board. It can be installed on any surface and do not worry that on the back side you will see unaesthetic stains or nedokrasy. The production of such a profile sheet is carried out exactly the same as one-sided.

Price Overview

The cost of the painted RAL corrugated board varies according to the brand, and the color palette does not affect the price in any way. We suggest to consider where you can buy RAL profiled sheeting, and also how its price varies depending on the region:

Sale is carried out both in the stores of official dealers, and at metal stores. If you visit the profiled Chelyabinsk or Klimovsky plant, you can significantly save, because the producer always assigns a price below the market price.

A wide variety of colors of corrugated board does not impair its technical characteristics. On the contrary, the color scheme helps to realize any idea of ​​the designer and the whim of the builder. Consider the popular color options.

  Profiled sheeting is covered with a varnish or polymer protective layer. Each coating gives the metal profile its own color. According to the applied color the material is characterized by the following types:

  1. A one-sided sheet with the coloring of the front side is intended for buildings where harmful conditions affect only one side of the metal profile, for example, in the arrangement of the roof or facade lining. Such a metal profile is painted only on the front side in any color, for example, blue. On the back, it remains gray;
  2. A metal profile with a two-sided identical color is used for fencing. This achieves an aesthetic appearance of the structure on both sides;
  3. A profiled double-sided color can differ not only in the different colors of the sides, but also in the type of the coating itself. Such sheets are intended for the construction of an object where the material will be subjected to aggressive action from both sides, but the front side should look aesthetically pleasing. A simple example of the application of such a metal profile is the construction of garage walls.

Standard color separation



  The profilist, like other building materials, has standardization. The color range of the material has its own standard designations, of which the following are distinguished:
  • The European standard ral represents a large range of shades, each of which has in the coding 4 digits;
  • The Finnish RR standard in the color designation has 2 or 3 digits;
  • The least number of shades is the English standard HPS with a 4-digit color designation and sometimes the presence of 1 letter.
  When choosing the colors of corrugated board, they usually face the encoding of ral. The color palette with the marking is indicated on the tables or cards available to each seller.

A little bit about the RAL standard



  The European ral color matching system is designed to select the desired shade. In the conversation, ral is referred to the ral Classic system. This standard is used for powder coating and paintwork. Manufacturers use the colors of the ral catalog for coating metal, profiled sheet, plastic and wooden products. From 2013, materials standardized on the ral scale are sold with the presence of a hologram to avoid fake colors. If you pay attention to the characteristics of the metal profile, as well as other material, it becomes clear that they remain unchanged under any shade of ral. Taking, for example, a blue metal profile c20 and gray c20, you can see that their weight, thickness and size will meet GOST standards. The painting of the sheets on the ral catalog is carried out by two methods:
  1. Paint under high pressure evenly falls on the material, but does not penetrate into the metal, which is acceptable for interroom profiling.
  2. Coloring using electrolysis involves the simultaneous supply of high-frequency current and paint to the metal. The molten upper metal layer contacts the paint molecules, forming a strong coating of the desired color. This metal profile is used for outdoor work.
  As the ral color chart looks, you can see in this image:

Choose the color of sheets for fencing



  To protect the metal enclosure with aesthetic construction, their coloring should be harmonized:
  • Close to the roads are common fences of dark shades of green or brown. This is due to frequent contamination, although the corrugated sheet is easy to clean with water from the hose.
  • At summer cottages a blue or gray fence is often installed. In addition, blue and gray have many popular shades. Often use dark-red tone of corrugated board.
  • Gradually appear fences of a new shade of "metallic."
  • A metal profile with a pattern simulating brick, stone or different types of wood is popular.
Choose a shade of profiled sheet for the fence better in the store, and not on the computer, because the screen slightly distorts the color gamut. For simple summer curbs, a metal profile, painted on one side, is usually used. For example, the front color of the fence is blue or green, and the rear color is gray. Lovers of aesthetics use sheets with two-sided painting. In this table the popular shades of the metal profile for fencing are presented:

Criteria for choosing the color of the metal profile for the roof



  Choosing the color of corrugated roofing, it is necessary to pay attention to its combination with the architecture of construction. The roof should not be different from the design of the yard. This work is better to entrust to specialists, but with an independent choice it is necessary to pay attention to such nuances:
  • The color of the roof should be in harmony with the coloration of all elements of the building, for example, the walls of the basement.
  • Not the hip roof design should be combined with the tone of the gable, windows, chimneys, ventilation pipes.
  • The coloring of the roof emphasizes the architectural style. Therefore, for a wooden frame suitable brown, dark red or green color of the sheet.
  • Correctly matched roof color should organically fit the building into the environment, but not hide it from sight. Bright tones are appropriate if the building is near structural buildings. In the surrounding strict style, dark tones will be optimal. If the cottage is located near the forest, the green shade of the roof will lose it among the trees.
  • Buildings with masonry from decorative bricks or natural stone look aesthetically beneath the dark red roof.
  • Choosing the color of corrugated board, you need to take into account the change in tone from the impact of various factors. For example, any color at a long distance takes a blue tint. A sheet of green corrugated sheet from a distance of 100 m seems bluish. In addition, the chosen shade in the store otherwise looks on the roof in sunlight.
Roof from a dark profiled sheet in hot regions will be strongly overheated under the sun's rays, which will entail the destruction of the polymer layer of the material. The shade of the corrugated roofing should be in harmony with the exterior of the building. The optimal combination of colors can be seen in the table:
