FULLY INSULATED & FINISHED ROOF IN 4 HOURS - Is this the best option?

It's on! Weatherproof, insulated, thermally broken and internally finished, plus installed solo in an afternoon. There are endless roofing options of course, but when it comes to a low height outbuilding or workshop this has proved to be a great alternative. Having used EPDM over standard OSB decked roofs before, it was so nice to not be messing around with cutting and fitting individual sections of PIR and then detailing the vapour control, etc let alone all the additional timber and loss of ceiling height. Lots more info and comparisons to follow in a future video.

I'm glad I'm not the only one who tells an inanimate object to "Stay!" when I put it in a precarious position whilst I grab something I should've picked up first or kept within reach!

[@DeHoeveOldBelgianFarm]

This roof is just perfect for a shed - insulated, easy to assemble, reasonably priced, and doesn’t really require any finish work from inside... Good choice 👍🏻 I’ll definitely check it out for our outbuildings.

[@joannahobbs6156]

I'm looking to build a shed, and I'm tempted by the insulated walls as well as the roof, not to the thickness here but it's got to last longer than traditional feather edge or tongue and groove... and might be cheaper, given current timber prices

[@johnc2001]

Nice to see it all coming together. Live in the area so saw ths roof being done when driving past. Looks great.

[@AbellTo]

Fantastic I’ve been waiting for this episode. A brilliant solution to a roof. So simple. Wished I’d thought of it on my workshop. I did rafters, sheets, membrane, felt, it took ages

That material is brilliant! We did my son's 4 car garage with 9.6m lengths. No joins, no cutting, cut backs done at factory. Bit of a handful! Especially as when they came off the lorry they were reversed to how we wanted them! So had to take them out on to the village green and rotate! HaHa! Great fun though!

Thank you very much!

[@AddictedtoProjects]

I wish I would have fully understood the economics of an ENTIRE roofing system before I built my workshop roof (4.5mtrs x 6mtrs) If I would have spent 'more' on insulated pannels, I would have saved myself a TON of time and money in other parts of the roof, and it would have been far far quicker and cohesive to put together. Instead I chose to try to do it on the cheap, and ended up paying double in materials, work and aggravation... Thank you for making this video! :)

[@TheRestorationCouple]

So true. Hindsight sucks! I probably spent the same on our garage conversion EPDM flat roof in the end as if I had done if in slate. 🙄

[@DebsHill1]

love it when kids help. 😊

[@AndyUK-Corrival]

It is a brilliant solution, that would be great for my workshop which is currently covered in OSB and two layers of heavy duty DPM. Your space will be fabulous when you have finished closing it in. I guess sound proofing is pretty good as well.

[@mandyleeson1]

Really impressed, Tim. I checked out the pricing here in Australia, and for our 5.4m x 3.8m shed (walls only, roof already done) it comes in at about $2300, which is really good value, especially when you consider the current price of timber, corrugated tin, insulation and time. Thanks for the videos. NB: Shame you can't share a link to Aussie Kingspan, we could purchase through you. Cheers, Mandy

[@peterbeyer5755]

I made a huge cubby house for the kids out or recycled cool room panels, it was a huge hit and there was no place for spiders to hide.

[@CoderTronics]

Nice work wood beams look awesome. A good tried and tested system, as you highlighted great for a low pitch in permitted development the thing I really like you can also easily fit solar panels to this system which fix to the trapezoidal profile out of the gutter. Would be very interested to see a breakdown of the costs as the wooden beams look awesome.

[@thepuffpeople7536]

I'm sure I seen you in a certain local timber yard the other day and I was going to say hello but wasn't sure if it was you. Great work on the work shop and great videos

[@mrb1864]

[@Jeremy64444]

I have a kitchen extension 12'x 25'. With a low slate roof, so many problems that I torched felted the slate roof, as a last resort. But that caused condensation. This summer I will strip the roof, slates , battens etc. Replace with a few 9"x2" and your roofing system. Just took 30 years for technology to come up with a proper solution. Thanks 😊

[@staceyfreedman3538]

Great job, love the build. Could you explain how you finished the two end sheets and cut them to prep end panel? Also how did you finish the sheets where it meets guttering and covering the insulation end? Cheers stacey

[@vinorob]

I did a little two bed barn conversion a dozen years ago with a mono pitch roof. This is exactly the product I used and intend to use it again.

[@belucky9630]

Thanks this is what I’m research for a large barn conversion as I think it would meet the regs and it’s classed as a warm roof . Do you know if the barn you did is working out ok just wondering if it would be noisy obviously there’s gonna be ceilings put in as well . Thanks

[@vinorob]

@@belucky9630 It is fine. I live in it. We primarily went with this roof to be in keeping with the surrounding farms dutch barn. The panels I used were 200mm thick. Mounted wall to wall in six meter lengths over 15 metres. At this length the weight was all on the walls as the panels are very rigid. We added two sets of heavy beams mounted on the support walls within. This was to be able to mount 15mm ceiling board and gave us a void of 200mm between the ceiling and the roof panel. Enough space for cables and fitting downlights through out. The high end of the mono pitch roof gave us a good height on one side that give a feel of volume and light as we could add glazed panels on this high side. Good luck with your build

[@b21playa]

Excellent, a step closer

[@vivaldi1236]

Brilliant doing the sections before installation. 👏🏻

[@TheRestorationCouple]

Had to make use of the help when I had it. 6m lengths are a bit tricky solo. 😬

[@adamjamro23]

Lovely job, as always 😉 Regards

[@JonnyArchetype]

Inspirational build! I'm very curious how you're going to do the soffits with the panels cut square on the ends.

[@rossnewark]

Looked into this roofing from the place you bought it and the downsides were the water running over the insulation above the drip edge and puncturing the top surface to fix. I'm gonna give EPDM a go. Interesting to see how you get on with the roofing

[@faisalmoghal4055]

Knowing when to say "duck" - parenting done right 💪

[@robmanners8333]

HELP! I've ordered some 80mm roofing sheets as per your workshop, they will be used on a garden Room project. But, I've not yet seen how you finished the facia aspect with trims. I have designed a solution for our project, but it is always good to see other ideas/interpretations. Love your content and drive, I found you on KZbin when you made the pizza oven and been watching ever since. Keep up the great family driven work 👍

[@misterjaypeasmith]

Quite interested in using this for a small garden room (10ft x 6ft). Does anyone have any thoughts as to how you would soften the interior up a bit e.g. battens and plasterboard perhaps?

[@stuntfrenchy5374]

The Mikita tool wall is near. 😆 top job.

[@adrianwilding2912]

What a great result! I didn't expect that a shed roof could look and sound as interesting as this which must be the way forward as energy costs ramp up. The only down side I reckon is possibly finding a method of getting rid of any offcuts which must be difficult to recycle given the steel sheathing. Looking forward to seeing the rest of the build. Cheers👍

[@TheRestorationCouple]

Ideally you just order cut to size. I’ve ended up with a big enough offcut for a small tool store roof. The smaller offcuts you can strip the steel off to recycle. The key would be good planning and getting them made to size I think.

[@tlangdon12]

The panels are also available with Rockwool insulation, which would be easier to remove.

[@simonlunt353]

I am looking too replace my garage roof which I in the process of making into my workshop and I think your roof sounds like a good idea l was thinking about l beem have l got that right 🤔 as it would be lighter thanks for your video can’t wait for your next update 👍🇬🇧 stay safe

[@Hand-i-Craft]

Great video. Have you any idea what the maximum unsupported length is for these panels? My roof will be single pitch at 3.6m width and was wondering if a panel could be fitted from wall to wall without timber support in the middle?

[@vinorob]

it would depend on the depth. I have six meter lengths at 200mm thick. They are very rigid and weight goes all on the walls. We did add two further beams internally to help. If you stood on the roof with that span and no other support it might bow a bit. With 3.6 meters would be fine wall to wall

[@abefehr6155]

Great idea looks awesome question is where can I find those panels

[@pauldavison7105]

Great vid. Will there be an update on how you cover the open ends of each panel

[@stevenmoosman2566]

Nice presentation, Sika is promoting IMP roofs (OneDek) with their membrane as the finished installation (Adhered or Mechanically Fastened Membrane). The M.F. option requires a heavier gauge roof side top sheet metal and the fasteners do not penetrate the underside (inside) exposed finished sheet metal. The outside surface of the IMP is smooth without the typical corrugation of traditional metal roof panels. Since the finished weathering surface is a membrane, crickets and parapets can be installed without the cut up variations described in the KZbin. Thanks again!

[@drmoonie]

Looks great 😀 what do you do with the micro plastic?

[@dougpopejoy9605]

I really loved watching this amazing build. Question; is there any issue with condensation building up between the top of the metal roof and the foam?

[@TheRestorationCouple]

No real chance for that to happen as the foam is closed cell and bonded to steel so no air gap for condensation to occur.

[@makolic1]

when you cut it in the middle how did you finish it and make it waterproof ? and how did you finish the ends of or did i miss it thanks

[@PompeyMatt17]

now this is interesting you mention commercial..my missus (as well as living with me) also has a flat in a 16 flat block and the Landlord is "insisting" they pay for a new roof and are going felt. We've challenged this as wholly inefficient, and I suggested EPDM, but now I've seen this it could be a game changer.

[@andrewhall9581]

So love the channel. I'm just starting my mancave/sheden and was going with the usual stud wall clad, 2.5m limit construction until I watched your workshop.....love the beams but that looks a lot harder than screwing sawn. Not to mention weight. #construction dilemma

[@davethomas440]

I noticed that you chamfered the ridge beam for the panels to lay flat did you do the same to the wall plate

[@handle1196]

Would like to see how the cut back attaches to the wall plate and where the overhang to gutter detail plus verges

[@HarveyCarrollJr]

Very smart... Thanks.

[@jakejohnson_]

Looks so good One question would be, could you not mitre the top edge to bring the panels closer together? Less spray foam or is there a reason it is like this.

[@Targetvlogs007]

Good job 👍

[@leeg713]

Hi, great job! Really enjoy watching you and your wife with all your projects! Quick question, would those panels be good for a summer house roof? Or would you recommend doing the usual osb, rubber roof ect. Thanks 😁👍

[@irinairina5715]

Для дачи и дома подойдут панели где пенополиуретан будет 10см толщиной и более.

[@robmanners8333]

When will the facia fixing video be uploaded? Love watching your content and Oakwood garden rooms. Who will be the first to upload the much awaited video??? Also what is the sound properties like in rain compared to your shed, would be a good comparison using a sound meter 😉

[@mechminded2207]

I should have gone this route. I ended up with 150mm joists (sheep wool polyester blend between), OSB, roofing membrane, bitumen corrugate. Gives me options for easily fixing to the ceiling - but also mine isn't that high inside - so anything I do put up there needs to be flat as possible.

[@monkeyskills3965]

PIR is notoriously UV unstable. Those roof boards had been left out in the open. You can tell by the discolouration on the sides of some of them compared to the "freshly" cut edges. This is unlikely to have much impact on it's thermal properties, but UV also degrades those thin foam seal strips. They perish just like you experienced. Good fun.

[@ridgmont61]

What blade did you use on the circ saw for cutting the sheets?

[@DJD8RR]

Bravo 👏😊 C’est top 👌

[@greenfrog8871]

what is the blade used to cut the panels cross wise

[@RobertSandell]

I am curious on how you fixed the roof beam to the rest of the frame? I don't think you ever showed that, only when you moved it i into place.

[@RobertSandell]

@@justjimmy3372 No that's fastening the sheets to the beam. I'm wondering about fastening the beam to the frame. I'm guessing something was done a couple of videos ago when the beam was put in place. But I don't think it was ever shown how it was fixed.

[@amac1657]

Love the tune. Anyone know what it’s called

[@messnersyeti1]

Looks great. In the rain we've had since you did this, is it noisy inside? I'm considering it as a material for an office/workshop outbuilding and would prefer it to not be too deafening...

[@jimgeelan5949]

I wouldn’t think so with all that insulation

[@thepeginator2556]

Did you use a specific blade I your saw for these? Or just the regular TCT wood blade?

[@wamgoc]

This roofing looks brilliant! I’d be interested to see if you get any condensation on the underside in very cold weather and how waterproof it is as time goes on! Thanks for sharing!👏👏👏

[@IanDarley]

I'm a designer for a roofing and cladding company that's installed thousands of square meters of these and other similar composite panels; there won't be any condensation issues at 80mm thick (though 120mm+ is more usual these days in order to achieve Part L thermal performance). As long as the ridge and edge flashings are properly sized and installed it won't leak.

[@belucky9630]

Hi How is this bearing up ? I’m looking at getting this for my barn conversion to a home .What’s your thoughts we was going to go with zinc but this would work as a hot roof .Something I have seen is that where it expands and contracts the fixings move and this would result in water getting in over a few short years . I do like it but concerned 🤯

[@kalsinghsohanpall1426]

Is it possible that can be put from the inside any kind of wood or anything else in order to use this at a house roof?

[@binleyhouse]

Can the roof panel be used for the walls?

[@TWOKDOK1]

You seem to have used fixings on walls / roof at top and bottom / ends only. Is this really sufficient ? Will walls / roof not bow with wind over pressure? Similarly, I don’t see where you can fix counterbattens except on main frame at 2m centres ?

Timber costs are around 25-30% less I would guess. But also from a local forestry and sawmill which is good. 👍

[@TheLindsay720]

I’ve got no pre-existing attachment to this style of timber framing but after seeing the beautiful job you made of it, it seems a shame to cover it with these panels. I understand the insulation and speed of installation benefits and I’m reserving judgement until end. I also realise you’re more concerned with the appearance from the inside for filming. Thanks for sharing.

[@loganavltd7804]

Can this be used on a flat roof construction? Flat roof with a fallback from front to back obviously.. ?

[@noelkealey]

This is looking better and better every video, can’t believe the progress you’re making on it. Really can’t wait to see how you clad the outside and how you plan to heat it. I didn’t see you bring any conduits in for electricity when you poured the slab, will that come though these walls? Sorry for all the questions, in the planning stages for my own!!!

[@TheRestorationCouple]

Eventially I will trench a supply once I decide what we are doing at the back of the house. For now it’s coming in overhead from the studio/garage conversion fascia.

[@almostanengineer]

There is a reason this stuff is used for commercial buildings, it's cheap, effective, and quick to install, I don't know why it's not use more for small residential workshops and out buildings.

[@1977Timp]

One is condensation..

[@allenclarke9642]

There is no condensation

[@TWOKDOK1]

How do you intend to fix the ridge beam Tim? Or are you relying on panels / fixings to hold it in place and did you profile the beams at the low end in a similar way to the ridge beam so panels not sitting on corner? Finally did you consider angling the ridge end of the panels so that they butted flush with their opposite number?

[@TheRestorationCouple]

Ridge beam just screwed in on an angle with big timber screws. Slight corner taken off eaves beams but also is bedded on expanding foam. No benefit to mitring the ridge really and by leaving the small gap I could make sure that I could gun a bead of foam to conceal the bottom skin of panel. Even a tight mitre may have left a cold spot.

[@valeriedelaney594]

Does the electrical system works with off grid solar power system

[@johntraynor8777]

Great video, great info, what's the insulation value of these sheets compared to rolled insulation thanks

[@TheRestorationCouple]

PIR is roughly double I believe, so half thickness required. Depends on application and products though.

[@listerthat]

Great roof structure. Whats your thoughts on dealing with the thermal conduction of the underside (ceiling metal) from the eves in. My only concern would be that transfer from outside to in and making it easy for condensation on the ceiling due to his cold metal.

[@TheRestorationCouple]

Nothing at eaves as it’s cut back. Only possible thermal bridge is the extended underside on the gable end but will have to see. I’m cladding the soffit in timber which may help a little too.

[@unclefranko2452]

Hi mate great job , I was thinkin of using those on my roof , can't see any links for them on your videos Any chance of showing them ? Thanks Frank 😊 🙏

[@ARG.Carp1]

Would anyone use these roofing sheets on an extension instead of a flat roof(felt or rubber)? Would they meet building regs in the uk?

[@dmgladden]

Hi Tim would this give a safe span on for a 4m job I would I need a centre support which I would rather not use

[@TheRestorationCouple]

Short answer no. 2m is about the limit, more if thicker. Most seem to be 1.8 commercially on big roofs.
