metal sheeting

Flat metallic covering

Metal sheeting is metal that has been formed into thin, flat pieces.

It covers roofs, clads buildings, and lines ducts.

Sheet metal is the more common term for the material itself; metal sheeting emphasizes the sheets as a collective covering: The warehouse walls were covered in corrugated metal sheeting.
