roofing solutions in South Africa, delivering roofing solutions across the spectrum from regional offices in Johannesburg, Cape Town and Durban employing around 500 staff.
The three most common and popular roofing profiles (Corrugated, IBR, Widespan) used in the roofing industry worldwide, are manufactured in-house at various service and steel processing centres in South Africa galvanised and colour coated (painted) finish.

When it comes to roofing solutions, Pro Roof Steel Merchants have all bases covered. The Corrugated Profile (S-Rib) is the oldest and most widely used profile for roofing and cladding applications due to its ease of handling and fixing, relative strength and cost effectiveness. Corrugated sheeting can successfully be factory cranked, curved and bullnosed to a wide range of radii to suit customer specifications.
The IBR Profile (Inverted Box Rib) is one of the most popular profiles used for roofing and side cladding applications in the industrial, commercial and residential building industry. Its bold, angular appearance has many advantages,

such as its strength to weight ratio. This provides optimum load span consistency, and the broad flutes that ensures excellent drainage makes this a popular choice for roofing contractors.
The Widespan Profile M is a more economical alternative to the IBR profile, without sacrificing the popular fluted concept so frequently used in modern architecture. The Widespan profile offers greater spans and lower slopes than the traditional corrugated profile.
In terms of accessories, the company manufactures roll top ridging, closure and ridging according to customer requirements and specifications. These accessories can be supplied in galvanised and in a painted finish.
The company has production facilities situated in Vereeniging where fencing products are manufactured. These fences are mainly used for security and enclosing purposes for sectors including various agricultural co-operatives, builder’s merchants, security contractors and the mining industry.
It also manufactures a comprehensive range of hot rolled structural tubing and cold formed open sections.
THE PRODUCTION PROCESSPro Roof Steel Merchants is committed to implementing the most innovative technology in its manufacturing operations. To this end, it has acquired a fully automated, state of the art “Welded Beam Line”. This line produces universal columns and beams as well as T-beams in a wide range of sizes for various applications. Beams and columns can be manufactured from 300WA , 350WA, grade 50B and corten material.
While the traditional hot rolled welding

process is still used to manufacture high quality and lightweight structural solutions, the Welded Beam Line has several advantages to make more flexible products.
Using a welded beam over a hot rolled beam allows for a weight reduction of between 5 and 30%, which means a cost saving for customers. Fabrication time and labour costs are also saved due to the lightweight properties of the welded product.
“The production process consists of three coiled steel strips being fed simultaneously into the beam machine to form a web and two flanges. The product passes through the “beam forming station” and is then welded to form a high quality, lightweight product. High frequency resistance welding

is a versatile and productive method for the manufacturing of H, I and T welded beams,” explains the company.
“The welded product produced by this line will find applications in a wide variety of industries and sectors such as; building and construction, fabrication, mechanical manufacturing, overhead cranes, truck,container and trailer manufacturing, roadside guardrails, marine vessel construction, and many more.”
From its humble beginnings in 1988, Pro Roof Steel Merchants has been through several expansions. When it constantly evolves, making adaptions like the aforementioned newest technology, it is easy to see why it has continued to go from strength to strength.
