(54) Roofing system


(57) A method for attaching a steel roofing sheet to a longitudinal beam. Attachment members 48 interact with recesses 46 in the underside of the roofing sheet 30 so as to be engaged with those recesses. The attachment members 48 may then be screwed to a longitudinal beam so that the roofing sheet is attached to the beam. The recesses and the engaging part of the attachment members are substantially T-shaped. The T-shaped portion of the attachment member is inserted into the recess in a first orientation and is rotated by 90° so as to be in a second orientation so as to engage the T-shape of the recess.
