Insulated Roofing Panels: Look Out For These Points Before Buying Insulated roofing panels are substitutes for concrete slabs, corrugated iron sheets, brickwork, and other roofing solutions. With the advancement of technology, these roofing panels have become more and more efficient at their job, leading to a variety of materials to choose from. As such, it's easy to be a bit confused about what material will suit the project most. If you are experiencing such a dilemma, keep in mind the following points. Points to Remember While Choosing Insulated Roofing Panels Temperature The defining trait of insulated roofing panels is their thermal resistivity. However, not all insulating panels are made to resist the same variation in temperature. Most of the commonly available panels are built to operate in the thermal range of -10℃ to 40℃ Any panel working in temperatures lower or higher than this range would be not as effective and will rapidly deteriorate. Fortunately, a lot of specialized panels are available for highly tropical or frigid climatic conditions, like Vatson’s Panels which can even withstand fires for hours! Load Bearing Capacity Like being built to operate in a certain thermal range, insulated roofing panels are also built to withstand loads. Exceeding this maximum load-bearing capacity can cause a panel to distort, or worse, to fracture. Do keep in mind the weight of the installed jig and fixtures, HVAC provisions, Lighting options, and other machinery, and choose a panel accordingly. Various paneling options like Vatson’s Walkon ® panels can safely withstand loads as high as 150 Kg/Sq. m Color Choices Choice of colors does affect the insulating properties of a material. A dark color is more effective in retaining the warm temperatures inside a facility, while a light color is more effective in reflecting heat away from the premises.
