Standing seam on insulated metal-faced panels

Standing seam roofing panels on insulated metal-faced panels is a roof system with a non-vented warm substrate. The nature of insulated metal-faced panels allows large simple roofs to be covered very quickly.

Structure

The insulated metal-faced composite panel must be made from galvanised steel on both the internal and external facing (minimum thickness 0.7mm for external facing). Fixings and clips must not inhibit the required expansion and contraction of the VMZINC PLUS or cause any damage to the protective coating underneath.

The insulated metal-faced composite panel must provide a 100% vapour barrier. This is normally achieved using a panel with a vapour tight interlocking jointing system. It is the specifiers responsibility to ensure there is no risk of condensation in this type of roof construction and the use and humidity of the building should be considered before specifying this solution.

The warm side of the insulated panel joint must be sealed together with the top side. All joints and penetrations should be sealed appropriately.

The surface of the support that the zinc is to be laid on, must be even to within 2mm.
