suPIR Span (PIR) Insulated Panel
Description

suPIRspan is a lightweight, thermally efficient panel intended for use as an insulated, fire resistant, fully finished roof panel.

SuPIR Span consists of a 0.59mm profiled roofing sheet bonded to a PIR core with a ceiling panel sheet bonded to the underside. Panels are finished with a factory applied COLORSTEEL finish to suit the specific exposure zone and use.

Panels are 1000mm wide and can be supplied in project specific lengths. The panels can be made with different thicknesses of PIR core, depending on thermal and span requirements.

suPIR has a trapezoidal profile with a single lap corrugation, and a symmetrical external face. The panels are supplied with a smooth internal face with a tongue and groove joint.

Scope of Use
  • Suitable for roof and wall cladding
  • 15m un-piloted truck (longer lengths available depending on freight restrictions to site)
  • With steel or timber structural framing and on a concrete slab or sub-floor structure
  • In all wind zones, up to and, including Extra High wind zone as defined in NZS 3604:2011 or a calculated wind design pressure (ULS) of 4 kPa
  • With a snow loading of up to 1kPa
  • In all exposure zones as defined in NZS 3604:2011
Limitations on Use
  • The specification and installation of the suPIRspan is to be in accordance with the ThermoSpan EPS specification and installation
  • Minimum roof pitch 3°
  • Span of the panels is to be in accordance with suPIRspan tables V1.0, dated November 2019
