Profile

Applications

When it comes to roofing or cladding projects, Afri-Lok 700™ is the ideal choice for both commercial and residential use. This profile, also known as concealed fix, offers numerous benefits and requires no piercings from screws. Instead, the sheet is securely held in place by clips that are fixed to the purlins of the structure. One of the most significant advantages of using Afri-Lok 700™ is that it eliminates leaks caused by heat expansion and contraction. In addition, the absence of fasteners means there are no leaks caused by over-tightening, which can be a common issue with other roofing or cladding solutions. From an aesthetic perspective, the seamless effect created by no end laps or fixtures is truly pleasing to the eye. The deep wide panned trapezoidal profile of Afri-Lok 700™ is particularly well-suited for low roof slopes, as it offers excellent drainage capabilities. In fact, roof slopes can be as little as 2degrees without compromising performance or functionality. All in all, Afri-Lok 700™ is the superior choice for anyone seeking a reliable, long-lasting roofing or cladding solution. Its ability to prevent leaks, its attractive appearance, and its exceptional drainage capabilities make it the clear choice for any construction project.

Clips

We take immense pride in our clips, which are designed to provide exceptional quality and reliability. Our full 700mm length clips are equipped with interlocking holes that maintain a consistent 700mm pitch. This helps prevent any “snaking” issues and ensures a swift installation process. In addition, our clips are available in shorter, more economical lengths that do not interlock, perfect for shorter roof spans. SABS approved for their superior quality and durability. Manufactured from o.8mm Z275 galvanised material or 0.8mm AZ200 Zincal coatings.
