Composite Panel Commercial Flat Roofing

One area Massey Cladding Solutions Ltd specialises in is the design and installation of composite panel systems for commercial roofs. These panels, composed of inner and outer metal skins with an insulating core (typically PIR or Rockwool), offer superior performance compared to traditional double-skin metal systems.

Key Benefits:

Faster Installation: Composite panels encapsulate the entire roof build-up in a single panel, reducing installation time.
Enhanced Sealing: Fully sealed systems minimise errors, ensuring reliable sealing and consistent insulation.
Lower U-Values: PIR cores provide better thermal efficiency with thinner profiles than traditional systems.

Available in a variety of profiles like trapezoidal, standing seam, and secret-fixed, composite panels are extremely versatile. Rockwool cores offer superior fire performance over PIR. Our installations meet the highest standards, ensuring energy-efficient and durable roofing for commercial properties in Bristol, Cardiff, Exeter, Oxford and all surrounding locations nationwide.

Metal Profiled Roofing

Despite being less popular than it once was, metal profiled roofing remains an effective option for a number of distinct applications. These systems consist of multiple layers: a liner tray, vapor control layer (VCL), insulation, and a deep profiled top sheet, typically made from galvanised steel or aluminium.

When designing and implementing metal profiled roofing, we’re informed by the following factors:

VCL Continuity: Ensuring continuity of the vapor control layer is essential.
Wind Load Management: Proper wind load calculations are necessary for roof stability.
Sealing: Use of sealing washers ensures leak-free performance.
Penetrations: Special care is required for penetrations and ridge areas, which often require the use of GRP weathering techniques.

Metal profiled roofs are a cost-effective solution but require attention to detail, especially around seals and penetrations, to maintain long-term performance. That’s why it’s essential to bring onboard a contractor with the necessary experience designing these systems, like Massey Cladding Solutions Ltd.

Cold Applied Roofing

Cold applied roofing systems use liquid membranes that cure through chemical reactions, incorporating two coats with a reinforcing layer in between. They’re most commonly chosen as a means of covering smaller commercial roofs.

Some important considerations when investing in this form of commercial flat roofing include:

Ensuring compatibility with primers and other membranes.
Avoiding use in roofs with structural movement.
Proper detailing, such as incorporating a minimum 150mm upstand, which is essential for drainage.

Cold applied roofing is flexible, reliable, and ideal for smaller or complex roofs in and around Bristol, Cardiff, Exeter and Oxford, where ease of installation is key.

Hot Melt Roofing

Hot melt roofing uses a bituminous product blended with natural rubber and polymers to create a monolithic waterproofing membrane. Ideal for inverted roofs, it forms a seamless barrier characterised by exceptional durability.

Core considerations when designing and installing this form of commercial flat roofing include:

Drainage outlets must comply with ETAG 31.
Proper insulation thickness is crucial for achieving desired U-values.
Ensure detailed waterproofing around penetrations and movement joints.

Hot melt roofing is a durable solution we recommend for inverted roof applications and demanding commercial environments.

Single-Ply Roofing

Single-ply roofing systems are typically built with PVC or TPO membranes, offering flexibility in installation ideal for large, flat roof areas. These membranes can be fully adhered or mechanically fixed and are joined using heat welding.

If you’re considering a single-ply system for your commercial flat roofing, note that:

Single-ply systems are suitable for low-pitch roofs (min. 1:40).
Insulation thickness should be determined via U-value calculations.
It should be avoided in inverted roof applications; single-ply membranes aren’t suitable for load-bearing applications.

Single-ply commercial flat roofing systems tick all the right boxes when it comes to durability and flexibility, but require careful attention to insulation, wind loads, and potential damage.

Standing Seam Systems

Standing seam roofing is ideal for large, open roof areas, offering a sleek, modern look with no need for end laps or external fasteners. The system features overlapping sheets fastened using halter clips, which are then zipped together using a mechanical seaming tool. This system can be installed on both roofing and facades.

When designing them for clients around Bristol, Cardiff, Exeter, Oxford and the wider UK, we make sure to account for:

Halter spacing adjustment when using curved sheets.
The system is properly welded in place with hard rock insulation for stability.
Metal expansion incorporates a fixed point at the ridge, particularly when using curved sheets.

Standing seam systems are a premium solution, ideal for large roofs or facades that require both aesthetic appeal and durability.
