Coffs Harbour has a fairly warm climate, with summer highs that do cross 40 degrees Centigrade on occasion. This makes it imperative to have roofs that are designed to resist these temperatures so that you can be comfortable in your home. Structurally insulated roof panels allow homeowners to have roofs that are energy efficient.

Insulated roof panels in Coffs Harbour are made from two panels which can be metal or plywood, separated by insulation. Some panel manufacturers may even use fibre cement panels to make panels that are strong and durable, as well as being energy efficient. With these insulated roof panels, you can create a barrier that can lead to savings of almost 50 percent in the energy required to cool homes. Metal panels are kept separated, while the gap between them is filled with liquid polyurethane foam that expands to fill the cavity and ensure that there are no gaps. The insulating material, which is the foam, is extremely light and this makes these roofing panels easy to install. The metal panels can be available in many colours and textures and configurations, and this gives a wide architectural scope to these panels. You can even have different cross-sectional shapes for the upper and lower sheet, which gives an added variety to any interior decor.

The thickness created by the insulation gives these roof panels and added structural strength, and allows for panels to be made of long lengths, that can help in avoiding joints, which can be vulnerable to rain. Roof insulated panels in Coffs Harbour will keep the heat out during summer, while during the mild winter that you have, it can help to keep the home warm and snug. These panels are completely recyclable and in many cases the skins that are used to make these panels use a fair amount of recyclable material. This makes roof insulated panels construction material that meets green building standards.

Installation of these panels is simple and requires them to be fixed to supporting roof members by fasteners. The use of self-drilling fasteners greatly helps this process. Where roof lengths are long, the panels have to overlap, and it is not difficult to ensure this by removing the insulation and lower sheet so that only the upper sheet can rest on the adjoining panel and create a joint. Sealants are used to further make the joint waterproof. Many manufacturers will have end lap systems of their own design and will willingly provide these if the area of the roof to be covered and its dimensions are made known to them.
