Isn't there also an insulated steel roof? Anyone know much about the cost of this?

Thanks very much.

I wonder how good it is, one lad tells me that its very good, but i am not convinced.

I am building a shed with a pitched roof, I am going to put an office/gym room upstairs, i wonder would this do the job?

It would be cheaper than slates and since its got insulation it would help in heating the room upstairs.

Thanks

it's really good stuff
it doesn't look the nicest but maybe it's just me

and you need less the half the amount of timber compared to slate
and it'll be done in a day or 2 compared to 200-300 slates a day
so it costs less on labor too

you can get some stuff with a profile on it to make it look like clayy tiles it's a little more expensive but if i had to use metal i would use it
it's called nordman i think they are based in clare or limerick

Fair play for the information. I THINK I have seen it on places, I will have to see if it would do the job when my office is upstairs. But I can insulate it inside again.

Must look them up

http://www.nordman.ie/insulated.html

have a look at the pdf brochure
you would probably have seen them on the recent trend in swimming pools popping up all over the country
and there is 4or5 different colours to choose from too
and the staff were pretty nice too they will give you all the fixtures and fittings
oh and dont forget to get the nibbler too it's only €50 but it'll save you a fortune in the years to come

priced a job about 8 months back where thrutone roof including timber and labour ame in at 33k

priced the same in kingspan tile effect.by the time sheeting, flashings, purlins and fixings came in the price came in at over 80k
fixings were one off the biggest expenses
