Screws for Eurofala and Ekofala fibre-cement sheets

Corrugated fibre-cement sheets need fixings that account for their profile and movement. Eurofala and Ekofala screws help connect the covering to its supports while maintaining the roof’s protective function. They are important in new outbuilding projects and in carefully planned replacements of older roofing.

The fixing passes through the sheet into a batten or purlin, holding it in the intended position. Its length allows for profile height and the required anchorage, accounting for both the sheet shape and the support construction. The correct screw connects the corrugated material to the structure without changing its character. On a large agricultural roof, regular fixing points contribute to the stability of the complete covering.

The washer and sealing component matter where the fastener passes through the sheet. They help protect the hole and transfer compression to a suitable area. The connection can therefore both hold the covering and support its resistance to water ingress. In an equipment storage building, these details have a direct practical role: a watertight roof makes the space below more usable. The protected interior can serve as a convenient small store or working area.

Timber and metal versions allow fixings to be matched to existing supports. This is especially useful during refurbishment, when new roofing is to work with an assessed and retained structure. Selecting the right tip and thread helps create the required connection. The same covering family can therefore be used on a traditional timber outbuilding roof and on a structure with steel components.

System solutions can also simplify hole preparation and installation, depending on the particular fastener’s design. Fibre cement requires the clearance and compression specified by the sheet manufacturer. Suitable accessories help meet these requirements consistently. On a large roof, this has practical value: the installer can repeat a single connection arrangement matched to the profile and support spacing.

Resistance to the surrounding environment is another reason to select fasteners for the specific project. Conditions in an agricultural building can differ from those in an ordinary garage, making screw material or protection important. Once matched to the environment, the fixing complements the durable fibre-cement covering. Small components help realise its benefits across the full area, from the first sheets at the eaves to the upper roof.
