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!

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

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

As your daughter said (and she was right) it is amazing !! Well done sir and my absolute respect for doing the complete work without support. Cheers from 🇩🇪👍👍👍

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.

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

Had some of this sheeting on a sectional concrete garage a few years go . Wow what a difference it made to the garage

"Stay!" How many times have my husband and I said THAT!! [I'm glad it 'stayed!']

Just what I was looking for, for my garage. Thanks, awesome advice!

Working on the same thing right now. Glad to see how you did it!

We have had some real downpours in Suffolk...so I’m glad you missed the rain....loving the progress 👏🏻👏🏻🙋🏻‍♀️💕🇬🇧jane

I am really impressed with the roof looking at using it for my workshop construction

Would love to be that kid helping and learning from you. Another amazing video, excited for the cladding.

The garden building is looks really good Tim, well done..

Another really useful video, excellently presented and produced. Thank you very much indeed team.

Brilliant! Was looking at this for my Allotment shed build

Looks great!! Looking forward to seeing the next episode in the build series

That is a really briliant construction Tim. It was worth the wait. You are forgiven!

It's looking really cool. I made my old shed out of that and it helped that I just live down the road from the kingspan factory were it's made they do some really good stuff. Looking forward to see it finished 👍👍👍

Super impressive and a definite win for so many reasons.... it even looks good. A perfect place to diy 😎👍✅

Really love this series of videos! Would be great to find some info on building with these using stud work instead of the impressive structure you built. 👍

Fantastic build. Love the design of the beam framework. Great job. and looks great.

What a brilliant roof structure ...so easy ..!

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!

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

Great looking product!! Love the beams

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.

What a dad stuff like that is priceless

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.

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 😊

Great stuff, looks ideal. Thanks for posting.

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.

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

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 KZread. Thanks again!

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 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

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

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 😉

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.

Excellent, a step closer

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

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👍

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.

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

Excellent product. Can’t think of any reason to do it conventionally? Great update Tim. 👍

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

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.

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.

The Mikita tool wall is near. 😆 top job.

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! :)

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.

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.

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

Im hoping you’ll show us a shot of the fully finished roof.

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

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.

@vinorob

Жыл бұрын

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

Good job 👍

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?

Hi Tim, looks really good, I used to work for Kingspan in North Yorkshire where panels like this were made. It can have any roofing effect from slates to pan tiles. the foam is so tightly packed it is like having 250 mm of fibreglass wool. I used to weld skylights and vent stacks on the panels, it was like welding tinfoil.

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 🤯

Very smart... Thanks.

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

Those panels look great. Can the roof panels take the weight of someone walking on them, to maybe clear leaves off in the spring? Also what about lighting on the inside, say you wanted to find spot lights?

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

Noticed a nice little touch on Essential Craftsman - spec house build. The content focusses on the techniques (and suppliers, relationships and other things). Some other detail including costings are reserved for Patreon subscribers. Might be worth considering?

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 ?

Didn't see another comment so I'm just curious - did you consider mitring the ends at the ridge so they came closer to butting together? I realise it all gets covered with a cap strip eventually and the spray foam fills the void so it doesn't matter. Top work that family.

Brilliant

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

Bravo 👏😊 C’est top 👌

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?

We did a church in Salford, put a TATA steel roof on it, then battens and then slates over the top, good thing with this is you can always use it as a base layer and add to it, like brick slips etc
