Insulated panel roofing is a cutting-edge solution combining the roof, insulation, and ceiling. Also known as sandwich panel roofing, it’s an all-in-one structure with an outer sheet, insulation core, and inner sheet, making it thermally efficient and weather-tight. You get a weather-resistant and durable solution that suits the harsh weather conditions in Australia. The panels are made from non-combustible steel with high insulation R values, proving their ability to resist heat flow. This means they are safe for structures built in areas prone to wildfires.
More uses for insulated panels
Besides suitability for wildfire-prone areas, insulated panel roofing is ideal for commercial construction projects, outdoor public settings, carports, and retail establishments. It can be modified to suit cafes and al fresco dining spaces. Insulated panels are also good for patios, glass room enclosures, verandas, pergolas, and school roofing.
Any application that requires high thermal insulation, fire resistance, sound reduction, and waterproofing can count on insulated panel roofs. Proper installation will ensure a lifespan that exceeds 20 years and a smooth underside finish. Reputable suppliers can design and build your preferred roof from well-known brands like Colorbond, Superior Panel, BlueScope, and Lysaght.
Customising your roof
Insulated panel roofing comes in a range of designs, colours, finishes, and widths. Some suppliers can customise the product to suit site-specific and aesthetic requirements. The material enables great design flexibility, allowing you to maximise your ROI, especially with high-quality panels. Calculate the size by considering the insulation’s thickness and suitability to your building’s properties.
Design options
Roof designs are suitable for gable, fly-over, freestanding, two-storey, and attached skillion builds. A reliable supplier and installer can tailor a solution that suits your building. They will consider the load-carrying capacities according to the load the roof is likely to carry, environmental conditions, your design, and the technical specifications of the components.
Cost-effective and easy to install
Insulated panel roofing offers a range of benefits, such as quick installation. Unlike conventional roofing methods, it does not require additional structural support, beams, purlins, sarking, insulation, plasterboard, and mesh. Despite its spanning capabilities, it does not require more infrastructure to support the roof. The result is a cost-effective and robust structure with a more streamlined installation and finish.
