Panels and Profiles

Roof Upgrade

Over cladding is the simplest and most cost effective way of transforming any building. Irrespective of what materials were used originally the opportunity exists to make the building look like new.

Solution 1: Single profile over clad system

The system uses a Platinum approved spacer support system

attached over the existing sheeting in the purlins to provide an insulation space with minimal cold bridging. A new insulation layer is added to provide the designed U-value. Finally, the Colorcoat® pre-finished steel external weathering profile is installed. If the existing roof is not deemed to provide an adequate vapour control layer (VCL), an assessment on interstitial condensation risk is required, this together with the intended building use will evaluate whether a separate VCL is required.
Both the U-value calculations and the interstitial condensation risk analysis can be undertaken by the Tata Steel technical department.

Solution 2: Insulated panel over clad system

Metal faced Insulated panels have over the past 30 years

become increasingly used for the external metal cladding of a wide range of buildings across virtually every construction sector. Many of these roofs (i.e. prior to 1995) will have U-values of less than 0.45 W/m2K and will be approaching their end of life or repaint decision. Therefore the insulated panel over clad system provides a fast, light weight and shallow solution to both increase the insulation performance of these roofs to current requirements and also provides an outer covering, which can be installed using standard insulated panel fasteners.
