ROOFS
STRUCTURAL INSULATED PANEL (SIP)
Structural insulated panels are a highly versatile construction material with a wide range of proven uses and benefits that rival more traditional building methods, the panels are manufactured off site in controlled conditions.
​
We have worked with multiple different types of SIP panels including:
-
142mm thick PU insulation core sandwiched between OSB boards
-
300mm thick EPS panels with steel "C" chanel panel
-
100mm thick PIR panel wih Roof Tile Effect steel face
​
We design, supply and install the roofs on our projects.
​
Panels are typically 1220mm in width and 2440-6000mm in length, however we can produce other sizes upon request.
​
SIP panels can be designed to suit most domestic and commercial requirments. They are a safe alternative to traditional roofing as a working platform is produceds as you move along, compliments our highly insulated building fabric to complete your external envelope.
PBS SIP Roof Panel
​
-
300mm thick EPS panels reinforced with steel "C" channel along each side of the panel.
-
When the panels are installed, the back to back panels form a "I" section which provides the strengths accross its span.
-
Counter battens are fixed directly into the channel and then any standard roof sinish can be applied.
-
Overhangs can be acheived with the use of the steel frame or additional reinforcment.
Traditional Roof
We have also installed many other methods of roofing such as:
​
-
Hollowcore Flat Roof
-
Timber or Posi-Joist Flat Roof
-
Trussed Roof
-
Cut roofs etc.​
​
While we have worked with the above systems, we would always recomend using the SIP systems as they compliment our build mothods fabric first approach and minimising themral bridging.
​
Hollowcore Roofs
​
-
Precast / prestressed hollowcore, offers many advantages over alternative methods such as in-situ concrete, steel and timber. A lightweight solution which allows long spans between supports.
-
For flat roofs with large spans, we would always recomend hollowcore to do the job.
-
Using hollowcore can ommit a number of structural steels from your project.
