Mabati & Roofing
What products do you sell?
We supply mabati (roofing sheets) and a full range of building materials: steel, timber, gypsum, pipes and plumbing accessories, doors and locks, solar and electrical products, nails and paint. You can browse everything in our shop.
What gauges, lengths and finishes do your mabati come in?
Our box profile, corrugated and tile profile sheets come in gauge 30 and gauge 28, cut to any length from 1 metre to 6 metres, with a gloss or matte finish. Gauge 28 is thicker and stronger than gauge 30. Aluzinc comes in gauge 30 and 32, and stone coated tiles in gauge 26. Check each product page for its exact options, or ask our team.
Which mabati profile should I choose?
Box profile and corrugated sheets are practical, cost-effective choices for homes, warehouses and commercial buildings. Tile profiles such as Brick Tile, Long Tile and Zentile give a classic tiled look for residential homes. Aluzinc is a low-cost option for stores, sheds and farm buildings. Stone coated tiles are our premium option for a high-end finish. If you are unsure, call or WhatsApp us and we will recommend a profile for your project.
How many roofing sheets do I need?
It depends on your roof size, shape and the profile you choose. Send us your house plan or roof measurements through our Get Quote form or on WhatsApp, and we will work out the sheet lengths plus ridges, valleys and accessories you need, with a free quotation.
Do you sell roofing accessories?
Yes. We stock roll tops (ridges) and tile valleys, priced per metre, plus roofing nails (sold per kg), rubber washers and other accessories to complete your roof, along with timber for the roof structure.
Timber & Doors
What types of timber do you sell?
We sell cypress, pine and bluegum timber in sizes such as 2 x 2, 3 x 2, 4 x 2, 6 x 2, 6 x 1 and 8 x 1. Timber is priced per foot, and you can see current prices in our timber section. Tell us the sizes and quantities you need and we will quote for the full order.
Which timber should I use for my roof?
Cypress and pine are popular for roof trusses, rafters and purlins, while bluegum is often used where extra strength is needed. The right choice depends on your roof design, so share your plan with us and we will advise on the type and sizes to order.
What doors do you sell?
We stock mahogany doors, solid flush doors and semi-solid flush doors, as well as standard 6 x 2 door frames. See the full range in our doors section.
Do you sell door locks?

How much gypsum material do I need for my ceiling?
