Profile & sizes

GC Sheet Size and Profile

A GC sheet, or galvanised corrugated sheet, is a steel sheet coated with zinc and rolled into even waves for roofing and wall cladding. It is also called a GI corrugated sheet, CGI sheet or tin sheet, and is often spelt galvanized corrugated sheet.

Why GC

Why GC Sheets Are Chosen

The same reasons have kept the corrugated sheet on Indian roofs for generations.

  • Zinc protects the steel

    The galvanised (zinc) coating shields the steel underneath from rust.

  • Waves add strength

    The corrugations stiffen a thin sheet, so it spans from one purlin to the next.

  • Light and quick to fix

    Easy to carry, lift and fix, which saves labour and time on site.

  • Economical

    A low-cost way to cover a roof or wall, with little upkeep.

  • Cut to your length

    Every sheet is cut to the length you order, so there is less cutting and waste on site.

  • Reusable and recyclable

    Sheets can be unbolted and used again, and steel is fully recyclable.

How it is made

How Your GC Sheet Is Made

From galvanised steel strip to a stack of sheets cut to your length. These are photos of our own GC line at work.

  1. Galvanised steel strip passing through the corrugating rolls of the GC sheet line

    Rolled into waves

    Galvanised steel strip passes through rows of rolls that press in the corrugations.

Fixing & care

GC Sheet Fixing & Care Tips

A few simple points help a GC roof stay dry and last longer.

On the roof

  • Give the roof enough slope, not flatter than about 1 in 5, so rain runs off quickly.
  • Overlap the sides by 1½ to 2 corrugations and the ends by 150 to 200 mm. The flatter the roof, the bigger the overlap.
  • Fix through the top of the wave (the crest), never in the valley where the water runs.
  • Use galvanised J-hooks or bolts with washers, so the holes stay sealed.
  • Lay the sheets so the side laps face away from the usual direction of wind and rain.

Storage and handling

  • Store sheets under cover and off the ground, on dry wooden supports.
  • Keep the stack dry. If sheets get wet, separate and dry them soon: water trapped between sheets leaves white marks (white rust).
  • Lift sheets off the stack; do not drag one over another, as that scratches the zinc.
  • Wear gloves when handling, as cut edges are sharp.
  • Sweep off drilling chips after fixing, as they rust and stain the sheet.

General guidance for corrugated galvanised roofing. Your engineer or fabricator should decide the purlin spacing, fasteners and laps for your building.

Questions

GC Sheet: Common Questions

What is the full form of GC sheet?

GC stands for galvanised corrugated. It is a steel sheet coated with zinc (galvanised) and rolled into a wavy (corrugated) shape for roofing and cladding.

Is a GC sheet the same as a tin sheet or GI sheet?

Yes. Tin sheet (tin ki chadar), GI corrugated sheet and CGI sheet are everyday names for the same product: a zinc-coated steel sheet with a wavy profile. GC, short for galvanised corrugated, is the name used in the steel trade.

What is the size of a GC sheet?

Our GC sheet is 900 mm wide overall and covers about 785 mm once the side laps are made. The waves are about 16 mm deep at a pitch of 76.2 mm. Every sheet is cut to the length you ask for; common lengths are 8, 10, 12, 14, 16 and 20 feet.

What is the GC sheet price today?

GC sheet prices change with the steel market and are usually quoted by weight, per kg or per tonne. The cost of one sheet, for example a 12 feet sheet, depends on its thickness. Send your thickness, length and quantity on WhatsApp and we will reply with today's price.

Where are GC sheets used?

GC sheets are used for house and rooftop-room roofs, cattle and poultry sheds, godowns and stores, workshops and small factory sheds, boundary fencing and temporary site buildings. For large factories and warehouses we suggest the Hi-Rib profile.

What is the difference between a GC sheet and a GP sheet?

Both are galvanised steel covered by the same Indian standard, IS 277. GP is the plain (flat) sheet. GC is the same galvanised sheet rolled into corrugations for roofing and cladding.

How many GC sheets do I need for my roof?

Divide the width of the roof by the covering width of one sheet (about 0.785 m) and round up: that is the number of sheets in one row. The sheet length is the sloping length of the roof plus the overhang. Send us your roof size on WhatsApp and we will work it out with you.

How are GC sheets fixed?

GC sheets are fixed through the top of the wave with galvanised J-hooks or bolts and washers. Overlap the sides by 1½ to 2 corrugations and the ends by 150 to 200 mm, on a roof slope not flatter than about 1 in 5. Your engineer or fabricator should decide the details for your building.

Do GC sheets rust?

The zinc coating protects the steel from rust. To keep it that way, store the sheets dry and off the ground and do not drag one sheet over another. Sheets left stacked while wet can develop white marks, known as white rust.

GC sheet or colour coated sheet: which should I choose?

GC sheets are the economical choice for smaller sheds, homes and farm buildings. Colour coated sheets have a paint layer over the metal coating, come in many shades and are the usual choice for factories and warehouses.

Do you deliver GC sheets across India?

Yes. We manufacture GC sheets and supply and deliver them across India.
