‘PROFLEX SYSTEMS’, a division of MB Group (established in 1951), has always endeavoured to make good, better, where we believe that technological break-through & innovation sets the course for evolution and individuality during the lifetime of the organization. This technology was originally brought to India for the first time by Proflex in the year 2001. By expanding its reach to all parts of the country with a sprawling base of over 8000 projects, and a capacity of covering 15 million sq. feet/year, Proflex Systems has truly emerged as the most experienced and dependable roofing solutions provider, having experience of catering to different applications. Headquartered in Ahmedabad, Proflex Systems has got its offices and representatives in almost all States of India. Proflex Systems enjoys more than 80% market- share in this segment.

High quality, high grade, pre-coated galvalume steel, of the required width and thickness. ‘Proflex Roofing System’ is designed to suit many different Building Codes from all around the world. To carry out a calculative analysis of PROFLEX SYSTEMS, a special Design & Engineering software is used. This software factors the applicable load parameters as per the relevant standards. In addition, localised dead loads, live loads and wind speed of the region are also considered. These data alongwith a factor of safety gives adequate resistance against uplift force generated by wind gusts.

These roofing & cladding panels are manufactured from superior quality, structural grade steel using state-of-the-art, on-site, panel fabrication and handling equipment. This equipment can be transported to job-sites on all kinds of terrains, enabling fabrication & installation instantaneously. This nature of the process allows high-speed operations, bringing substantial benefits where time is a crucial factor. Precisely, the advantages of this new-age technology are many and favourable.

The design analysis is carried out by Proflex for the given span & center arch-rise, considering the required live load, wind load and dead loads. The analysis determines the thickness of steel and the arch reactions at the beam-level. This arch-reactions data is then incorporated by the client’s structural consultant/ engineer in the design of building foundations, columns & beams.

During design we take into consideration the live load of 50 to 75 kg/m2., depending on the end-use/ application. Dead-load of the roofing is minimal and has been pre-considered in thedesign software. Any additional loads such as HVAC ducts, false-ceiling, fire-sprinkler systems, etc., which need to be hung from the roof, will have to be informed to us prior to our proposal submissions so that we can consider these additional loads as inputs and arrive at the safe material thickness. Besides it is equally important to have a layout for hanging points in order to confirm the loading with respect to client’s end application, requirements.

With Proflex Systems Roofing technology, only arch-shaped roofing is possible, as this roofing technology is based on the arch-principle.

One can go for Proflex Systems Roofing with either RCC or Steel structure. This depends on the project requirement and other factors such as purpose of the building, time and cost factors, etc,. Proflex Roofing is equally suitable for both RCC and Steel structures.

Currently we are into specialized business of self-supported roofing (i.e. Proflex Roofing Systems) and can not take up turnkey job. As clients will have lot of local contractors who can do the civil foundation and structure part. But we are also looking into that direction and in process of developing vendors for the same.

Proflex roof can be installed on an existing structure but existing structure should take the loads of Proflex Roof and the space should be there for carrying out the operations.

Bare or Colour Coated Galvalume, i.e., CR steel with galvalume alloy coating and colour coating.

Yes, it’s possible. Any additional loads such as HVAC ducts, false-ceiling, fire-sprinkler systems, etc., which need to be hung from the roof, will have to be informed to us prior to our proposal submissions so that we can consider these additional loads as inputs and arrive at the safe material thickness. Besides it is equally important to have a layout for hanging points in order to confirm the loading with respect to client’s end application, requirements. Roof-top solar panels can also be installed, both on existing Proflex Roofing and also in new projects.

As per the relevant Building Codes and Standards, the roofing is designed after considering maximum wind speed in the respective region/ location, and with 1.8 times safety factor. The bolting design is also designed accordingly. Hence, the roofing is fully designed to withstand the wind loads of the location. Seismic loads are considered in the design of the column-beam sub- structure, by the client.

No. Gutters are required for rain-water drain and for our workmen to stand during installation. If gutters are not provided, then client needs to provide us with scaffolding system to enable installation.

Thermal insulation can be provided under-deck the roof, however the requirement and application needs to be studied.

The roof can be cleaned from inside and outside with the help of water spray, whenever required. Movable ladders, cherry-picker machines, boomlifts etc., can also be used is available. The roofs are also naturally cleaned from outside during monsoon and rains. There is no such prescribed or planned maintenance required or suggested, as these roofs are practically maintenance-free. Hence, there is no need for Proflex to take up after-sales contracts.

Yes, if required. The colour coating is of high quality and these roofing will not have colour fading etc., for atleast 15 years.

It is an arch, and it is a part of the circle.

Easily, and with no difficulties. Our workmen also walk on the roof with ease during installation and seaming.

Yes they can be replaced or repaired depending upon the extent of damage. However, this damage rarely happens as the material thickness is higher as compared to normal roofing, and also the typical corrugation and arch-shape makes this roof even more stronger.

Yes. We consider the wind speeds of the region and accordingly arrive at the material thickness to be used. We have already installed at around 100+ projects which are along the sea-coasts or coastal regions like Chennai, Vishakhapatnam, Mumbai, Mangalore, Coastal regions of AP, Gujarat, etc., over the past 15 years.
