Benin’s coastal and tropical climate exposes roofing materials to extremely harsh conditions—intense UV radiation, prolonged humidity, heavy rainfall, and high salt content in the air. Traditional bare iron sheets often rust within months, while low-grade painted sheets quickly fade or crack. As a result, the local construction market has seen a growing shift toward lighter, more durable pre-painted corrugated roofing sheets.

Our client, a leading building materials distributor based in Cotonou, supplies roofing products to construction teams, wholesalers, and rural housing projects. Their greatest challenges included inconsistent coating thickness, cracking during corrugation, and poor corrosion resistance during the rainy season.

After analyzing their customer segments and preferred specifications, we supplied 3×40HQ containers of Pre-Painted Galvanized Corrugated Roofing Sheet in thicknesses 0.11–0.14 mm, widths 800–900 mm, and lengths 1980 mm. The sheets feature a UV-resistant polyester coating formulated for strong color retention under high sunlight exposure.

Upon arrival and field installation, the customer reported:

• Excellent profile consistency with smooth corrugation forming

• Stable color gloss even after outdoor exposure

• No rust marks during extended rainfall

• Lightweight design improved installation efficiency for small construction teams

Local installers praised the material’s easy handling and surface integrity during cutting and fastening. With these upgraded roofing sheets, the distributor expanded rapidly into rural housing markets and recorded stronger quarterly sales.
