What is the width of a mini rib sheet?
Mini rib profiles are a small scale ribbed cladding sheet, narrower in cover than standard trapezoidal profiles, which is what gives them their fine, tightly spaced rib look. COLORBOND Cladding Metrib and ZINCALUME Metrib Cladding are ClickSteel’s mini rib options, and the exact cover width and total sheet width for each is listed on the product page’s specification tab alongside available lengths. Because sheets are cut to length and quoted by the metre, it pays to check the current cover width before ordering so your quantities and overlaps line up. If you are unsure how many sheets you need for a wall, ClickSteel’s team can confirm coverage for your measurements.Which is better, rib type or corrugated?
Neither profile is objectively better, they suit different looks and jobs. COLORBOND Cladding Metrib gives a tighter, more contemporary vertical line with smaller pans between ribs, while corrugated sheeting has a rounder, more traditional wave and slightly larger sheet coverage. Both are COLORBOND steel or ZINCALUME products with similar durability and fixing methods when installed correctly, so the choice usually comes down to the visual style you want for the wall or the pattern already used elsewhere on the building. ZINCALUME Metrib Cladding is the uncoated equivalent if you prefer the natural steel look over a painted finish.What are the Australian standards for wall cladding?
Metal wall cladding in Australia is primarily governed by AS 1562.1, which covers the design of metal roof and wall cladding including fixing, span and wind load requirements, alongside AS/NZS 2728 which sets out coating classes for pre-painted steel products such as COLORBOND steel. COLORBOND Cladding Metrib and ZINCALUME Metrib Cladding are manufactured to meet these product standards, but the specific fixing and durability requirements that apply to your build also depend on wind region, corrosion category and the National Construction Code. Because these requirements vary by location and project, always confirm the applicable standards and any approval conditions with your local council or building surveyor before installation. Your installer should also work to the manufacturer’s current fixing tables for the profile chosen.What is the best type of cladding for outside walls?
The best cladding for an external wall depends on the look you want and the corrosion category of the site. COLORBOND Cladding Metrib gives a fine, modern rib line in the full COLORBOND colour range, while ZINCALUME Metrib Cladding offers the same profile in an uncoated silver finish for a more industrial or rural look. Both are steel sheet products suited to standard residential and rural wall applications when installed with correct flashing and ventilation detailing. For coastal or marine environments, check the corrosion rating of the specific finish against your distance from the coast before choosing.How long does metal cladding last?
COLORBOND steel wall cladding is typically warranted for several decades of service, with published warranty periods commonly extending up to around 36 years for roofing applications in most non-marine environments, and wall cladding performing similarly when properly installed and maintained. COLORBOND Cladding Metrib carries this level of durability, while ZINCALUME Metrib Cladding is the uncoated equivalent with its own separate warranty terms. Actual service life depends heavily on proximity to the coast, industrial pollutants, and how well the cladding is washed down and maintained over time. Check the current warranty documentation for the specific product and finish before relying on any lifespan figure for your project.
