If you are in need of a new roof for an outbuilding, such as a barn, carport, garage, storage unit or workshop, deciding on the right material to use can be a challenge. There’s a lot to take into consideration, including appearance once installed, durability, energy efficiency and fire resistance, not to mention the price of the materials and the cost of installation. If you are looking for a budget friendly option that will offer some thermal insulation and reduce condensation inside your building, insulated panels should definitely be added to your list of possible options.
Why Choose Insulated Panels?
Insulated panels are comprised of two 0.5mm thick steel sheets with a core of PIR (polyisocyanurate) insulation that is available in a range of thicknesses, providing protection against moisture ingress and temperature variation. This makes them an adaptable roofing option that is suitable for a variety of commercial, agricultural and domestic uses.
Insulated panels are a durable roofing or cladding material that is made to withstand all weather conditions. They reduce the likelihood of condensation forming and dripping from the ceiling while providing a clean, bright surface to enhance light levels without increasing energy consumption.
They are also highly adaptable; panels can be precisely cut to specific lengths required, up to a maximum panel length of 20 metres. On large projects, this cut-to-length option reduces labour costs as well as on-site cutting, which minimises waste and the risk of errors during installation.
Insulated panels also provide an element of acoustic insulation too; they can reduce the sound of heavy rain on a roof, allowing for a more productive environment no matter the weather.
Insulated panels have numerous benefits over traditional roof systems comprised of multiple built-up layers. By integrating insulation, structural support, and weatherproofing into a single solution, they streamline installation, significantly reducing construction time and labor costs.
Unlike the complex installation processes required by built-up systems, insulated panels offer a simple, durable solution, making them an excellent choice for energy-efficient building projects.
Southern Sheeting holds stock of Trisomet 333 composite panels in both Goosewing Grey and Juniper Green. These 30mm insulated panels are commonly used in buildings where heavy insulation isn't necessary, but protection from the elements is essential. These panels are also a cost-effective way to prevent condensation forming and dripping from the ceiling, making them particularly well-suited for barns, carports, garages, storage units, and workshops.
Stock panels are available for collection and can be delivered in up to five working days, with special order materials taking longer. Your Sales Advisor will discuss appropriate delivery options for special items when you place your order.
