RAWANG, Jan 6 (Bernama) -- Metal roofing and wall cladding solutions provider United Seasons Sdn Bhd (UniSon) today was officially recognised by Malaysia Book of Records for achieving the longest roofing sheet, measuring 166.49 metres installed at the YLL Supply Chain Hub in Sungai Buaya, here.
The YLL Supply Chain Hub was designed to support high-volume logistics operations which require a roofing solution capable of long spans, durability and operational efficiency.
UniSon General Manager (Projects) Zaidi Semail said the roofing sheets are produced as single and seamless units without any joints, designed to address technical challenges posed by Malaysia’s weather such as increased rainfall intensity over the past decade.
He said the single-piece roofing systems reduce the risk of leakage and simplify maintenance, especially for buildings housing sensitive equipment such as electronic manufacturing facilities.
"Today's certificate is for the longest roof in one piece. (Previously), people made long roofs but there were joints. So the Malaysia Book of Records company knew that our roof was produced in one piece, there were no joints."
"This system is rarely used for large projects. That's why the certificate was awarded," he told reporters after the certification ceremony here.
The record was achieved using the KAWA KZ400 Standing Seam Roofing System made from COLORBOND steel by NS BlueScope Malaysia, marking a major milestone for Malaysia’s construction industry and highlighting strong collaboration, technical expertise and innovation in large-scale roofing solutions.
Besides NS BlueScope Malaysia, the project brought together a strong ecosystem of partners including Akitek Akiprima Sdn Bhd, CK Building Solutions Sdn Bhd, WBL Perunding Sdn Bhd, JQS International Sdn Bhd and HL Roofing Sdn Bhd, working closely from design and planning through to execution and innovation in roofing solutions.
With a comprehensive range of metal roofing and wall cladding profiles, UniSon supports various designs, from conventional applications to complex architectural requirements, using materials such as COLORBOND, ZINCALUME, VERMOE and PRIMAMAJU.
Meanwhile, UniSon Managing Director P. Dhanabalan said the achievement was also distinguished by the installation method, whereby the roofing sheets were roll-formed directly at roof level, enabling greater precision, efficiency and installation quality, while minimising handling and the risk of damage.
"This achievement by UniSon has been recognised by the Malaysia Book of Records, marking the success not only for our company, but also for Malaysia alongside our partners and customers in advancing roofing sheet development,” he added.
The Malaysia Book of Records recognition highlights the industry's growing capability to deliver complex, large-scale projects while reinforcing the importance of collaboration, quality workmanship and trusted partnerships across the construction value chain.
