WHAT’S THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN A THREE AND A FIVE NOSES ROOF PANEL?
What to consider when ordering a roof panel? How many ribs do I need on my roof panel? We often hear these questions when we introduce our line of insulated roof panels.
On the market, we can find a range of roof insulated panels with one, two, three, four, five, and six ribs. What’s the difference?
THE LOADING CAPABILITY AND THE PRICE
There are two main differences: the loading capability and the price. As a rule of thumb, the more ribs, the more loading capability, the higher the price of the insulating panel for the roof.
WHERE DO WE NEED ROOF PANELS WITH MORE LOADING CAPABILITY?
So, where do we need more loading capability? Generally, in places where it snows. We may also need more loading capability when we know the roof will bear heavier loads, e.g., a solar roof. We suggest to revise the technical data of the sandwich panel for the roof and get advice from our team.
HOW DOES THE NUMBER OF RIBS OF ROOF INSULATED PANE INFLUENCE THE PRICE?
In a nutshell, more ribs on the roof insulated panels, the higher price will be. If we want to create higher ribs on one of its faces, we have to increase the width of the metal sheet. Generally, the more ribs we want to create, the wider the metal sheet has to be, that’s why an insulated panel with five noses costs more than three noses panels.
So, let’s sum this up: when you are looking for an insulating roof panel, first of all, consider
- If you have any snow falling on the roof or
- If you are going to place solar panels on the roof panel.
Then look at the loading capability of the roof panel’s loading table; you can find it in the catalog. Then consider the price of the model that better fits your needs. In case you need professional advice, we are here to help. Order roof panel completing the form below:
