That roof looks great what a great product to use on garden rooms and sheds when they need a new roof upgrade I’ll definitely be looking at this for my shed 👍
Our new 3 bay workshop for HGV's was made out of this stuff, but we didn't have the insulation. My god was it cold in winter and hot in summer. It was put up in 1989 and is still standing in Smiths of Bury in Pilsworth. Great material.
This looks brilliant stuff. Looks like the stuff they make all the new warehouses with.
I built a workshop in my garden with insulated panels and I'm so glad I did, excellent product, so much easier than a wood construction and probably cost me less as well.
Looks like it's not fireproof
@@jonmould2946and wood is?
@@jonmould2946 why would you think that? Definitely more fireproof then timber
@wadacalit looks like it's foam which is more flammable.
Timber retains structural integrity much longer then metal
Nice job and good to see Dylan doing a bit 😏🧱👍🏼
Excellent video, very detailed explanation. Thank you for taking the time to make it
I clad the sides of my large 30x13ft concrete sectional garage years ago with Kingspan/Celotex and loglap, it totally transformed the look. I looked at fitting these insulated panels for the roof, but they were out of my budget at the time. Its been nearly 10 years now so may have to look at my options again. Thanks for the video as it answered some unknowns.
Brilliant stuff , great job, lads 👍
nice idea with the stringline . thanks
I used the same on a workshop/garage replacement
Great work looks like I'll be doing this to my shed
Great job! I can't see a single thing that can be done better and I especially like how you covered every trim piece that you need and that the vendor recommends you use! The only thing is that the roof is nice a modern and the building is far from it :)
Nice to see Dylan presenting. 👍
yoou should see his appearance fee. It is eye watering
@@SkillBuilder 😂 brilliant!
Tempted to buikd my whole workshop with these things. So nuch less hassle
I fitted these over the summer after removing old cement/asbestos roof on a garage and they are the best easy to fit and creates insulated roof (no more condensation in the garage)!
I want to do the same on my single garage this summer. The asbestos roof has a metal structure that holds it up. Did you keep that and added OSB under the insulated panels or have you got any other recommendations? Thanks
@@christianu8023 Sounds very similar to our layout, when first put up i left the metal supports in however i then removed most of them (about 4 separate supports supporting old roof) as they are not needed the panels are strong enough without the under-supports. The only one i left was the front one to ensure that the panel was on a slope, so panels fitting at the front on old metal support then onto the concreate base at the back. I went with Kingspan Quadcore 80mm depth from the insulated Panel store and they are more than strong enough to hold my weight, am nearly 15stone so not light. Keep to smallest number of panels you can other than that its pretty straightforward, they not the cheapest but when costed OSB/Flat roof and even just plain metal sheets it was few hundred pounds more but fully insulated already and million miles easier than fitting flat roof. The Panel store were very helpful with recommending number of panels and all the flashings etc.
@@andrewyates3215 Thanks Andrew. I am definitely considering them. What I am also looking into now is whether or not I want to put solar panels on the garage as I will also have to do the electrics and install a car charger. Hence, I may have to keep the structural support. Initially I just wanted to get rid of the asbestos and it now becomes a workshop project with so much more to consider… 😂
You can use gauntlet work gloves to protect your lower arms rather than wear sleeves in hot weather and they are proper PPE.
Enjoyed that. A good job and well explained
Great vid chaps 👍
Had a large brick effect prefab double garage 23 foot by 21 foot 15 foot up and over door with a cement fibre apex roof that was cracking and letting in water, so had a roof panels like this with 4 inch insulation fitted that was about 10 years ago no more rain and with 4 inch no condension inside. Next door did he same .
Fantastic video, thanks .
Very cool!
Nice job well done. Is the amount of cut back for the gutter. Never used those panels before. Thanks for the video.
That would look nice above my hot tub Sam 😊
Don't seal the capping foam down, it creates a dam area behind it that will rust out the top. Also you don't peal back the protective plastic just screw straight though it, makes it harder to peal off latter but still protects the from from the swarf. Most importantly vacuum, sweep and leaf blow the steel swarf off as soon as possible. But I do love this stuff, I would build a whole house of it given half the chance :)
Great video, I’ve priced up my new garden room roof with traditional wood joist frame/EPDM vs the Kingspan, the insulated panels slightly more expensive but a massive time saver, are the panels you fitted 80mm (111mm including ridges?)
My properties usually have RCC roof and I like flat roofs to walk and spend time on, but because one of my property is next to forest they dont allow RCC, this will be the first time I will have this kind of roof installed, your video gave me a good idea. Shame that i cannot be safe on rooftops to watch the sky at night or the leopards and hyenas at night, maybe i will build a platform
CT1 yeah?! Stixall won’t be happy with you! 😅 But seriously what a great looking product… My workshops gonna get a new roof once the monsoon season is over! 😁
It's great when the stuff is pre-assembed at the factory - less opportunity for human error.
Very Nice, good woke, from Québec Canada
interesting looking ct1 at the end there
slip of the tongue it was stixall!
@@SJWardBuilders Bang goes our Stixall sponsorship deal.
You should have signed your name on the corner facia or put your company name. I do that for any work I'm proud of. This is fantastic work.
I am planning to use these for my new workshop - would it be possible to use sheet metal screws from underneath to fix them, so as not to have any holes in the upper side which may leak when the screw sealing ages?
This is a beautiful product! Is it available in Canada?
wish we had these on the other side of the pond.
Can you add (cosmetic) roof tiles over the top with basic battens if needed for planning (match surrounding roofs)?
Hi when you fitted the ridge flashing did you overhang them by anything or were they just butted up against each other
This seems a really good product and not that difficult to to install
Youd be surprised , i install this for a living , its harder than it looks , this guy has made so many mistakes
@@AK4ourty7even47 does the metal underside conduct the outside heat and cold into the interior? I am having trouble seeing how it wouldn't.
@@WTFUSERNAM44 NO is the answer , like the uploader said , this product is a great insulator

One note on these panels is that they are incredibly loud inside the building in heavy rain, because the rain hits the metal and the sound transfers straight through. Maybe not a big deal in a workshop or garden shed, but if you're using them on a home office in the garden it can be quite annoying (especially if you spend a lot of time on the phone!). I have wondered about putting fake grass in the grooves, or some other material to 'break the fall' of the water and generally soften the sound. Having said that, they do make for a very warm room in the winter, provided the rest of your room is as well insulated.
Are you talking about the insulated panels?
@@SkillBuilder Yes. The top layer that faces the elements (the metal) is loud when it rains.
I love the sound of rain hitting the windows in my loft conversation. Very relaxing. I’d call that a bonus.
I find it vastly quieter on my workshop roof than a single skin tin roof! best thing about them is i now have no condensation
@@gdfggggg Me too! For those afternoons when it's just me and my laptop the bring on the rain. It's the days when I'm trying to speak on the phone / conference calls that it's a struggle.
@Skillbuilder I have a P-shaped upvc conservatory with an aluminium perspex roof, it stretches almost 3m and the narrowest it is about 1.6m and have been contemplating to install these panels. But the problem I see is without first dismantling the roof structure, how to measure and order the right sized panels and secondly how to cut the P-shaped sections. It would be quite tricky to cut out the panels accurately on the ground before first installing them. Any advise on the best approach would be greatly appreciated.
Im confused about the rubber profile parts for the roff capping; was the capping not in place, and just resting while you applied the bead of adhesive?
Is this compatible for rainwater harvesting?
I could ask you to fit them on my roof to replace current ones....possible? In London.
Great work chaps. 🫡
I've just started this video, and found that it's not really for me.. but doesn't the bloke on the right do an excellent Keir Starmer impression?
Looks like a nice job. If you didn't have a rubber roof already would you put these panels directly on the rafters or would you put a membrane down first?
As they are pre-finished both sides I don’t think you have to.
No you do not , they will not condensate on the inside
@skillbuilder What thickness did you choose, 80mm or 137mm? I'm looking to install solar panels on top eventually so my immediate preference was 137mm, but if the strength across an 80mm x 3.6m span is sufficient I might be able to save some money.
Greetings! thanks for this informative video! I have one question: why did you apply those foam strips and glue to the root before applying the indicated panels? What is the function of that?
because it need seal if the screw fail
Problem i had at gutter overhang was water capillary re action bringing water back inside ,should have put a bed of mastic under sheet 😢
Is there any provision to fit skylights or windows?. Standard sized window frames or similar provision? Thanks for the informative video.
No it would not work well to put a roof window in this system.
Always check height regs before you install anything that "may" contravene said regs for the building/construction.
It doesn't we checked
@@SkillBuilder Hence the "May" for all your subs
I'm intrigued as to what building regs might say to use this on the house instead of concrete tiles or slates.... has this kind of insulated roofing panels is used extensively in Scandinavia on modern buildings
Pharma Companies all over Ireland use similar products to Clad and Roof their Production, Utilities, and Office Buildings and have really stood the test of time mind you they are screwed through with those TEK screws onto steel structural elements... Obviously Building Regs would require a robust structural aspect, of Off Site pre fabricated structure of BOX section steel comes to mind in that regard and Bolt together...for a home structural element, then you would be good to go for that the cladding...
I've rewatched several times and still don't understand the down slope end. Is the foam left exposed and does the water just run under the flashing? Where do the leaves and stuff go? Wouldn't it be better to get the end cap under the metal roofing? I must be missing something......edit: just watched another video where they undercut the foam. These appear to have done that just not showed. Also the other video they capped the foam end with a piece of flashing, can't tell if they did that here.
👍👍👍
Is that your charging port ?
Hey, Did you put anything under the apex and the ridgboard other than the Foam to block animals etc?

Salam dari Indonesia
This video is fantastic. It was very well done, thank you. I liked how the guys made it look like anybody could do it. I lived in a house with insulated roofing for a couple of years, and it was such a pleasure to live in compared to previous dwellings here in rural Australia; that were built with the typical corrugated iron (and un-insulated in many farmhouses). Even though I’m not too much of a fan of plastics /Styrofoams/foam, I’d make an exception for this roof. (Maybe they could come up with some sort of mycelium foam?)
An I missing something, should the ridge foam seal go under the ridge cap.
It did! The ridge wasn't fixed down. Once the foam seals were stuck the ridge was moved into place and screwed down.
What cost are we looking at?
How do you fit a gutter to that, not keen on it just running off to the ground.
It is actually very easy, The gutter goes underneath and is concealed
@@SkillBuilderAre you able to cover the gutter installation in another video please? Nice job 👍.
Where can you buy these panels
What is the cost for this product and how here can we buy it?
Is it possible to cover the roofs of residential buildings in this way in England?
Yes it has become quite popular
Got this on my new extension
any recommendation of a company that installs such roofs in the area of Leeds, West Yorkshire?
@@kuboncom7851 I did it myself
How did you locate the battens that you screwed into from above?
measuring
Question is there supposed to be air flow under those insulated panel’s to allow drying of water vapor? Does appear to be excelent product what is its fire rating.
Having an airflow beneath the insulation means you don't have insulation.
@@SkillBuilder if insulation is placed below in the building the potential of vapor condensation is there. That metal skin is a vapor barrier that is why i asked that . Insulated panels and structures have been destroyed in buildings in particularly cold climates .
Mint job, excellent finish. Looks like garage will be getting done this year. But couldn't help noticing the solar set up next door, thumbs up that man.
at 150 a panel with VAT, that looks like it saves a fair bit of time (labour). Probably not as easy as they make it look, but nice product.
How much
Where to find insulated wall panels? Everywhere are only roof one?
You can use the roof ones for walls, they do this on big commercial fridges
Can someone help me out? If this was used as the roof, rather than an overroof, where's the condensation line? As the insulation panel would be a warm surface on the inside (and therefore room moisture couldn't condensate out onto it) is there not one? I've fitted warm and cold roofs, so I'm used to knowing where the barrier is, and how to avoid condensation, but I haven't yet fitted one of these foam roofs, as I am ignorant of what happens on a cold day. Cheers.
no pasa nada, la condensacion sucede con la humedad tratando de entrar al frio , normalmente el frio estara afuera, pero el espsor de la epuma impide que haya choque termico
Sticking the tape down on to dusty surfaces 👁🫦👁
The panels look fine but it’s the rubber washers and sealant that will eventually leak
Those washers might need replacing after 25 years but that is half an hours work. Even if the leaked minutely it would be a long time before it rotted the timber. If you don't screw it down it could end up in the neighbour's garden.
I installed this and now i feel like a ROOOFAA 😂
what happened to your video after this one about building regulations/wars...taken down?
i guess he decided the comments were too political and decided to take it down
Anyone know if you can use these on a conservatory?
Yes for sure, they are used that way quite a lot
I’d be very interested in seeing how this would be done on a Victorian shaped UPVC conservatory and how you’d fix it down. Mine is freezing and let’s in water, this could be the ideal fix!!
great video boys, i mean no disrepect to darren but i prefer roger
Roger won't last forever, we need fresh talent to keep the channel moving forward.
@@SkillBuilder haha ye suppose
Dylan!!
@@SJWardBuilders sorry sam haha
Wise up, he’s great
no lap tape ?
You don't need it
Surely that foam weather strip should go under the ridge plate to form a seal?
It does
The mini z was installed the wrong way the colour should face down and the fixings securing it should be hidden under the flashing the mini z is supporting , also fixing the ridge literally through the welt id just asking for leaks
Guess gutters is the next show?
15:25 that’s clearly not CT1😂
stixall!! a genuine slip of the tongue! Id planned to use ct1 but only had stixall but still said ct1!
oy oy lads
first job should be edge protection scaffold
The rubber needs to be up tight to ridge that gaps just going to fill with warter when it rains
It is placed under the ridge flashing. The ridge wasn't fixed until the foam fillers were in place!
@SJWardBuilders I see! Thanks for clearing this up wouldn't of thought you left it that way. Good job
@ 8:20 Is there a reason for the six inch gap between panels at the ridge?
In this instance we were laying the panels on the existing roof which was really out of square. We were then able to push the panel up from the bottom until we were happy with the gutter line. If I had more time and money I would have demolished this building as there wasn't a straight line, walls are out of level and the roof was so out of square. However there has been significant rainfall since this was recorded and it remains water tight!
no it isnt Ct1 its the thinking mans CT1, and half the price
We should name it CT 0.5 🤣
At which point did you realise those screws under the the ridge was not a good idea ? 🤦🏼♂️
They are a good idea as they hold the panels down and the ridge panel was wide enough to clear the screws!
@@SJWardBuilders They are a sh*t idea...2 options....fix them slightly further down the roof, after having found the ridge lines......Fix them through the ridge flashing.... my preferred option. You can almost guarantee those boys took them out and moved them while fitting the ridge flashing, but didn't film it.
@@owenoneill5955No we didn't move them as they had to pick up the 2x2 under the ply. moving them wasn't an option and the ridge covers the screws
@@SJWardBuilders So what is applying the clamping force on the foam fillers? Hitting the 2x2 underneath isn't made any more difficult by going through the ridge flashing. I was a cladding manufacturer and installer before I retired so I suppose I don't really fit into the ''DIY guide'' bit.
@@owenoneill5955 The stitching screws clamp the ridge down
Good god man at least batton the old roof out to allow some ventilation/drying
Not required. Everything under the panel is on the warm side
Impressive system
The sound is "too good". Throw some ambient sound from the camera in. Will help us relate to the construction, which is not a sterile, noiseless environment, and make your video more engaging.
We have loads of videos with ambient and backgorund noise. You will notice comments saying the background noise is distracting. Nothing is perfect but we try hard every day to produce quality content for an ungrateful public who love to bitch and moan.
@@SkillBuilder your video was very nice. had only the sound to constructively comment on!
Dont need fixing just ct1 sealant it down 😂
So to summarise, if you need a plumber get a plumber , if you need a sparky , call a sparky , if you need a bricky , call a bricky , and dare I say it because all other trades think that industrial cladding is not a trade , if you need industrial roofing or cladding done , call an industrial roofer/ Cladder, because rest assured they have. One it many times and don’t make all the mistakes this chippy has made ,
I completely agree with you. This video isn't suppose to de skill the work you do for a living but to show a roofing solution to people. Hopefully manufacturers and fitters of this product will benefit! Regards Sam.
What mistakes did he make?
Are these panels suitable and permitted for a domestic application
ninguno, nada mas los estan molestando, lo que hicieron aplica bien para una casa, no poner el butilo es conveniente por el vapor que se generara in el interior, y el vento no es suficientemente fuerte para vlar los techo aunque no tenga el clip porque esta ndentro de una colonia de casas saludos@@0Tweaky0
Shouldn't these foam fillers kzhead.info/sun/dK2Jk5WtoGqNimg/bejne.html be put under the ridge? Otherwise it would collect and hold rain water. I can't even see them on finished roof kzhead.info/sun/dK2Jk5WtoGqNimg/bejne.html
Yes they go under the ridge! What you saw in the video was me fixing them into position. the ridge was then positioned and fixed down
I've always heard that if you cut that kind of steel with a power saw it will rust quickly. We always cut the tin with hand snips or a nibbler, electric shears. I've seen it rust on jobs i was still working when guys used saws
“There’s no telling if the roof is square” Um how about a tape measure?
A quality product all round, but this fella must have money to burn! I know that the roof and head height is fairly low but not low enough not to be able to loose 80-100mm on inside? 8 sheets of 80mm kingspan and 8 12mm ply and loose 92mm or as is now plus whatever materials and time is for all this? 2.5-3k quick guess?? Id be going for the first one myself 💰🏃🏦
Liam The whole point of this sponosored video is to show how you can create a warm roof on an outbuilding or even an extension for that matter using Kingspan insulated panels. We needed a location for filming and Sam gave us one and did the job in return for the panels.
Sorry to say but you have made some mistakes here. I work for a specialist steel roof sheets supplier and work on these projects all day. You have not included the butyl sealant on the top sheet laps and you fixed through the crowns under the ridge cap! There was no need for double foam tape and 'premseal' under the panels, one or the other is sufficient.
Thanks for your comments! I believe we followed the instructions we were sent without skipping any stages!
@SJWardBuilders without using the butyl sealant on the top sheet overlap you will get capillary action draw moisture through the side lap of the sheets. As you have sealed the underside of the sheets, this cannot escape so over time will cause problems.
@@southall87 The under side of the adjoining crown has a butyl seal already attached by the manufacturer so this shouldn't be an issue
Southall87 I think you are a merchant of doom even if capillary action was a problem the whole roof has a rubber membrane. Any moisture that gets in will get out the same way by evaporation.
@SkillBuilder So you don't think I am some faceless keyboard warrior, I would like to send over some documents from Kingspan to back up my comments. Please can you give me an email addres to send these to?
Lovely roof but that building looks terrible...
So now you're deaf and the yard is covered in polystyrene swarf
