Book a Free Design Consultation Types of Insulated Wall and Roof Panels Insulated wall panels and roof panels are also known as “sandwich panels” and comprise a core of insulating material sandwiched between two metal or polymer composite skins. Expanded Polystyrene (EPS) Panels have a high R-value which is maintained long after installation, meaning they are excellent at preventing heat transfer. They are lightweight and easy to install making them a popular choice for residential and commercial building projects. The panels are moisture-resistant and do not absorb water, making them ideal for use in areas with high humidity or moisture. EPS is environmentally friendly as it comprises 98% air and is also fully recyclable. Polyurethane (PU) Insulated Panels are known for their excellent insulation properties and low moisture permeability. However, they can be more expensive and harder to install than other options and they can also lose their R-value over time. Fibreglass Panels are made of fibreglass which traps air and slows the transfer of heat. The advantage of fibreglass panels is their lightweight nature, however, they are not as durable nor as insulative as other options. Mineral Wool Panels are made of natural or synthetic mineral fibres and have a higher R-value than fibreglass. Another feature of mineral wool panels is their excellent sound absorption, which can reduce noise levels in buildings. Vacuum Insulated Panels (VIPs) are high-performance panels that provide excellent insulation values. They are commonly used in applications where space is limited. VIPs have a very high R-value, which makes them extremely efficient at reducing energy consumption. However, they are expensive to produce and install and cannot be cut to size, limiting their practical use in many residential applications. Cork Panels are a natural insulation material that can be used in both roofing and walling applications. The key advantage of cork panels is their ability to resist moisture, making them ideal for use in damp environments. However, they are often less durable compared to other options and may require more maintenance over time. Extruded Polystyrene (XPS) Panels: These panels are rigid foam boards that offer superior moisture resistance, making them ideal for wet or humid environments like swimming pools and basements. They have a high R-value, meaning they are excellent at preventing heat transfer, and high compressive strength, which makes them durable. Spanline’s range of Ezi Struct® insulated panels offer superior protection against the elements and have high thermal insulation and noise reduction qualities. The EPS core is covered with a double layer of Colorweld® steel for maximum strength, insulation and durability. An interlocking system makes the panels easy to install and they come in a range of profiles and thicknesses to suit your desired insulation rating or free span requirement. Build it your way! Insulated wall and roof panels are a great way to add extra functionality to your outdoor space without compromising on style. Consulting with an expert is recommended to ensure proper installation. Following the maintenance guidelines is essential for maximising the benefits and longevity of insulated panels in your home. For 38 years Spanline has provided customers with the highest quality materials and service, evidenced by our excellent customer feedback. We pride ourselves on our expertise in designing, manufacturing, and installing custom-made home additions such as glass and screened rooms, patios, and carports. Durability The lifespan of insulated roof panels depends on factors such as the quality of materials, maintenance, and environmental conditions. High-quality materials such as pre-painted steel with magnesium added for superior corrosion resistance can last for many years. Extreme weather conditions and UV radiation can affect the panels’ lifespan. Generally, insulated roof panels can last for 20-30 years, but individual circumstances may vary.
