roof strap profile


Explanation:
I found this translation in a site in double version (German and English).

"...Durchgehende Alu-Dachgurtprofile..."

"...Continuous aluminum roof strap profile..."

Look at the links below.

Good luck.

disagree  Cilian O'Tuama: it'd be much more helpful if you quoted Eng. terms from Eng. sites and not from poor translations, e.g. "Flexible, able to act as per customers requests is nowadays essential to survice for trucking companies and freight forwarders..." (same site)
