What is the difference between corrugated and box profile roofing sheets?

Corrugated iron sheets have a wavy profile and are the most common, economical roofing option. Box profile sheets have a rectangular rib profile, are stronger, and suit longer spans. Box profile is preferred for modern homes and commercial buildings. Corrugated is ideal for residential and agricultural structures.

What gauge roofing sheet should I use for a family home in Ruaka?

For a standard residential roof in Ruaka and Kiambu, gauge 30 (0.30mm) is the minimum recommended. Gauge 28 (0.38mm) gives better durability and is recommended for areas exposed to heavy rain or hail. For commercial buildings, use gauge 26 or thicker.

How do I calculate how many roofing sheets I need?

Measure your roof length and width to get the total roof area in square metres. Add 15% for overlaps and wastage. Divide by the effective coverage width of your sheet (typically 0.75–0.85m for corrugated). Call Pioneer Hardwares on 0782 005 737 with your measurements and we will calculate the exact quantity for you.

Roofing FAQ

Roofing Sheet Questions — Ruaka & Kiambu

How much do roofing sheets cost in Ruaka?+

Corrugated iron sheets start from KSh 850 per metre for gauge 30 at Pioneer Hardwares in Ruaka. Box profile sheets start from KSh 1,050/m. Prices vary by gauge, profile, and colour. Call 0782 005 737 for today's confirmed stock and price before ordering.

What gauge roofing sheet should I use for a home in Kiambu?+

For a residential home in Ruaka or Kiambu County, gauge 30 is the minimum recommended for sheltered areas. Gauge 28 is preferred for exposed ridges, heavy rain areas, or any roof that will carry a ceiling. For commercial or industrial buildings, gauge 26 or thicker. Our team can advise based on your specific project location.

How do I calculate how many sheets I need for my roof?+

Measure your roof slope length and overall ridge length. The effective coverage width of corrugated sheets is ~0.83m (not the full 1m nominal width, due to overlaps). Divide your roof area by 0.83, then add 15% for cutting waste and end laps. Or call us on 0782 005 737 with your measurements — we'll calculate the exact quantity for free.
