In this article, we’ll look at three types of insulated roof panels. RD5 Roof Deck, Smartloc(tm) and ECO roof panels are all excellent options, and we’ll also discuss which environmental concerns to consider when choosing these panels. Using the right materials will help you choose the most appropriate option for your home. But which type of insulated roof panel is right for your home? What are the benefits and drawbacks of each type?
RD5 Roof Deck insulated panel
The RD5 Roof Deck insulated panel offers the best of both worlds: steel deck insulation and a substrate for conventional roof coverings. Because it comes in a single composite panel, the RD5 is less expensive than a field-assembled roof deck system. The topside can be primed steel sheet or felt paper, depending on the roof covering requirements. RD5 is a popular choice for commercial and industrial applications.
RD5 Roof Deck insulated panel features superior insulating properties, and is fast and easy to install. This material can also be used on metal buildings to soundproof them. It also has a vinyl-backed fiberglass insulation that prevents humid air from coming into contact with the metal roof. The panels come in a variety of widths to meet the needs of most customers. In addition, they come in a wide range of colors, including metallic and ultra steel.
In addition to being highly energy-efficient, RD5 Roof Deck panels are extremely attractive. Their attractive profiles make them the perfect choice for many commercial applications, including warehouses. And they can be installed on many traditional building designs. They can also be added to a variety of non-standard roof designs. Because they can be customized to fit the building’s architecture and design, RD5 Roof Deck panels offer a versatile and attractive solution.
Smartloc(tm) insulated roof panel
If you’re building an insulated roof panel, you’ve probably considered the advantages of Smartloc(tm). These insulated panels are comprised of 1.5 pounds of polystyrene foam and a steel core. They’re great for many different purposes, from preventing heat loss to minimizing evaporation. As an added bonus, Smartloc(tm) panels can be shaped and molded to fit any shape and design.
ECO roof panel
There are many different types of insulated roof panels on the market, and deciding on which one is right for your home is an important decision. Different materials are required for each type, so it’s important to evaluate all environmental factors before deciding which one to purchase. If your roof is not insulated, you can opt for a glass fibre reinforced plastic (GFRP) panel instead. The good news is that the GFRP panels can be customized for interior or exterior use, and each one has a UV and corrosion protection layer.
Accord Eco panel: This lightweight insulated composite panel is a popular choice for applications without LCPB approval. The coverage rate is based on full 1m sheet coverage. The panel is delivered via mechanical offload or articulated vehicle. Accord Eco panel has an aluminium foil liner, which makes it a great option for applications without LCPB approval. It is also lightweight and easy to install. However, its price is slightly higher than other panels, so consider this factor before making your final decision.
Because insulated panels are lightweight, they should be stored in a dry and ventilated area. Indoor storage is not advisable, since condensation can collect on poorly ventilated internal panels and corrode metal. Outdoor storage is allowed, but must be in a place with water runoff and no direct sunlight. Keep in mind that you shouldn’t store insulated panels outdoors for more than 60 days. The ideal storage conditions are dry, ventilated, and temperature-controlled.
