Description:

Corrugate Cap is a cover that fits over the end of corrugated iron under the roof flashing to stop water splashes. The current method of roof clinching; the process of turning up the corrugated iron top edge involves hand tools, often pliers to manually turn up the edge. This design removes the need to turn up the iron edge preventing wrist strains which is a common injury when clinching corrugated iron.

Corrugate Cap is a flexible closed-cell foam material, so can be applied with ease and withstand all weather. The shape of the cap has been designed to fit under all roof pitches as it is tapered on both sides allowing it to sit against the trusses and flashing. The cap comes in a long roll, so can be installed easily.

This design eliminates manual clinching which causes many injuries in the roofing industry. This includes the wrist and back as the task is often performed on the ground causing the body to twist or hunch over. Corrugate Cap can be applied on a bench or on the truck, so is at optimal height and involves fewer moves of the iron sheets. The flexibility of the cap also changes the wrist action, so does not cause pinching in the wrist which is expected to reduce the number of injuries caused by roof clinching. Time is the other factor as this design reduces the time taken to complete this task as the cap simply pushes on the iron.
