What You Need To Know About Insulated Roof Panels

By Walter Long


When you corrugated roofing panels come to your mind, are you thinking of poorly maintained sheds or warehouses? This product has received negative reviews from individuals and businesses that have tried incorrectly installing it. Partially, the reason for the bad reputation is because most people are not aware of the distinction between the various roofing types, from regular fiberglass roofing, corrugated panels, corrugated fiberglass and even in some cases siding being handles as Insulated roof panels. Roofing and siding are very distinct products.

Insulated roofing panels are made from foam insulation which is packed in between two sheets of either board or plywood. Fiber cement boards also may be used. This design is resource and energy-efficient, as well as being strong and durable. They create a barrier to heat loss that can save almost half the energy typically spent on heating and cooling homes.

Your next step should be to read the code requirements for your area for residential metal roofing applications. A copy of your local Building Code should be available at your local library or online. The measurements for screw placement will be there. Find it. Most communities will allow you to lay metal roofing on top of an existing shingle roofing.

You can offer your customers a wide variety of design options, as there is no shortage of color and finished textures for these covered metal boards, providing an elegant design for a variety of architectural needs. Now your clients can enjoy the peace of mind they get with sturdy construction and state of the art protection, with the sleek and elegant design. What's more, despite their multi-layer composite, these boards are lightweight and easy to install.

Corrugated roofing boards come in either metal or fiberglass. They also come in precut sizes but you can special order unique measurement if you need to. Fiberglass boards should not be considered in high heat areas as they may just melt. Metal Boards will produce too much heat inside in very hot areas or during hot weather. A good roofer will suggest a ceiling insulation. This will save you money when trying to keep your house cool in the summer time.

You should get your roofing permit before you order your materials, just in case. A permit should last for six months to a year and can be extended in most cases, so you should have plenty of time. If you know, permitting won't be a problem, order your materials.

If you have no experience or haven't ever undertaken a project of this nature, it might be better to call in the professionals. A correctly installed roof is something you can never take for granted. The impact it has on your home on both the short and long term cannot replaced.

The same caution goes for your hands. Always wear leather gloves when handling metal roofing panels. You will need something to cut metal panels for any angles you have on your roofing. A skill saw can be used with a metal cutting blade. This gets loud. You should use ear protection for yourself. And maybe some for any close neighbors who come to complain. Other options are electric metal shears or nibblers. If you don't want to purchase these expensive items, they can be rented. Plan your cutting well in advance to avoid paying long term rental fees that could equal a purchase price.
