corrugated steel

Wavy industrial sheeting

Corrugated steel is sheet metal formed into parallel ridges and grooves, creating a wavy pattern that adds structural strength.

The corrugation allows thin steel to span distances and bear loads it couldn't handle if flat.

Common in roofing, siding, and industrial construction: a corrugated steel warehouse, corrugated steel fencing.

The material weathers distinctively, developing rust patterns that some find aesthetically appealing.
