Non drip for a garage roof - Does it work?

rob555mark

Hi, I'm blocking my garage at the moment and next step is to source the roof. Not sure what to go for yet, cladding or hot dip galvanise.

I know you can get non drip on the cladding, not sure about the galvanise, but does this really work. I will have a low pitch roof though!

I plan to keep a clasic car/turf etc in the garage & hope to put a small stove in at some stage but won't be lit on a regular basis over the winter, only when I'm working on the car.

So two questions for ye.....

1. Does non drip really work?

2. What would you use , cladding or hot dip galvanise?

Thanks,

Rob

non drip sheeting works by a fibre type layer on the instead of the sheet which can retain up to 900grams/mt2 of condensation, though can only be laid at 10 degree pitch or above.
though in comparison to hot dipped, cladding is probably not a lot more expensive on a small garage and can be ordered in exact lengths so no cut edges or joints, is available in lots of colours so easier on the eyes,
and if your vintage car will be inside, than the sheeting will absorb all your condensation without the drips...............

So... either use the non drip to avoid this or don't bother as the car will absorb the condensation anyway?
