Dimond DP955
Description

DP955 is designed not only to be stronger than traditional profiles but also more cost effective and faster to install.  Its design provides stronger ribs to protect against buckling and a wide style pan to allow for safe foot placement.

With a wider cover width of 955mm, fewer DP955 sheets are required to be installed, saving both time and money.  DP955's original look creates a distinctive and diverse design unlike traditional profiles ensuring a unique finish.

Key Features
  • Strong trefold arch rib shape means less damage to ribs and allows wider pans for easier foot placement.
  • Excellent spanability under wind loads and foot traffic.
  • Designed and manufactured in New Zealand, specifically for New Zealand conditions.
  • Wider cover means fewer sheets are laid across the building.
  • Fewer ribs means less notching of flashings and fewer fixings
  • Faster installation (no extra weight per sheet).
  • Less steel per square metre cover (fewer tonnes to crane and move around) – saves money.
  • Only 3 fasteners per sheet – faster to install, simple fixing pattern, less risk.
  • Only 3 ridge notches per sheet – faster to install.
  • Wide Pan for ease of foot placement.
  • Less risk of rib buckling under point load.
  • Fewer call backs to repair damage from sub trades.
  • Rib Height 46 mm, Screw length 65 mm – less cost, faster to install.
  • Side Lap Engagement with 85º Lip Underlap Leg.
  • Load-Span Capacity - Comparable to BB900, SS900 and similar competitive profiles for most wind load cases.
  • Wide pan and novel segmented rib – creates distinctive designs.
