I give in, (and I accept my googling technique clearly leaves something to be desired). I can’t find a UK seller of mineral wool filled metal roof panels. Anyone know of one?

Fairy Posted December 11 Author Share Posted December 11 thanks @Iceverge would this metal sheeting be better than epdm only or all the other options there too? (traditional 3 layer felt roof/ fibre cement slate tiles / profile 6 fibre sheets) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Iceverge Posted December 12 Share Posted December 12 (edited) EDPM will require rafters, 2 layers of OSB, insulation, and a roof covering and lots of labour. Fiber cement slates won't work at such a shallow pitch. Felt won't be very durable and would need a backing board, rafters, insulation. Profile 6 sheets will require rafters and purlines. Fiber cement sheeting used to be widely used on agri buildings near me but it's all been replaced by metal as it was cracking. Plain metal sheets won't span the two walls and so will require rafters etc. They'll drip in cold weather too. For this project insulated sheeting so prefectly fills the requirements that I would be hesitant to pursue any other choices.

Iceverge Posted December 12 Share Posted December 12 (edited) 1. Strip the old roof get your wall levels correct with the 1:14 slope. 2. Strap on a new timber wall plate. 3. Screw on the Insulated panels. 4. Bolt on flashings and gutterings 5. Enjoy a drip free, leak free, economical, mould free, low maintainance, insulated roof until 2085. The underside is even presentable enough to make a finished ceiling inside IMO. Edited December 12 by Iceverge Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
