Common uses
5-Rib polycarbonate is used on new builds and also to match and extend an existing 5-Rib or Trimdek metal roof, commonly on pergolas, carports, and patio covers where a narrower rib profile is wanted. It's a common choice for skylight sections in a Trimdek roof, letting natural light in without a break in the roofline.

Frequently Asked Questions
5-Rib polycarbonate, also known as Trimdek, has a narrower, more closely spaced rib profile designed to match popular 5-Rib and Trimdek metal roofing systems. It's a durable, lightweight option for pergolas, patios, carports, skylights, and outdoor living areas, blocking 99.9% of harmful UV rays.
Yes. 5-Rib and Trimdek refer to the same roofing profile. We use both names since customers search for and reference the profile either way.
Both carry a 25-year warranty against loss of light transmission and a 15-year weather breakage warranty. Calypso Ultra is manufactured from the same base material as Laserlite and sold exclusively through Supreme Plastic Roofing, while Laserlite is the original branded product. Laserlite sits at a slightly higher price point across the range.
5-Rib polycarbonate sheets are 840mm wide with a 760mm cover once installed.
5-Rib polycarbonate is available in the same length range as our other profiled polycarbonate: 1.8m, 2.4m, 3.0m, 3.6m, 4.2m, 4.8m, 5.4m, 6.0m, and 7.2m.
Fix 5-Rib polycarbonate on every rib, unlike corrugated and Greca, which only need fixing every second rib. A fixing calculator is available on each product page to work out how many fixings your project needs.
No. Of our profiled polycarbonate range, only the corrugated profile is suited to curved roofing. 5-Rib is designed for straight roof runs.
Across the Calypso Ultra and Laserlite ranges, 5-Rib polycarbonate comes in Clear, Grey, Bronze, and Opal.
Yes. 5-Rib polycarbonate is manufactured to match standard 5-Rib and Trimdek metal roofing profiles, so it sits alongside metal roofing without a mismatch. Lay it over the metal roofing, not underneath, since heat build-up underneath can cause warping.
