Roofing Panels
Overview
Typical Applications
Industrial warehouse skylights
Commercial building roof lights
Covered walkways and awnings
Plant room daylight panels
Agricultural building roofing sections
Protective roof covers over equipment
Replacement translucent roof sheets
Mezzanine daylight inserts
Manufacturing & Fabrication
Roofing panels are manufactured using:
CNC routing for precision profiling
Custom hole drilling for fixing points
Edge finishing where required
Controlled cutting to minimise stress cracking
Thermal forming for curved roof sections (where specified)
Laser cutting may not be suitable for thicker impact-grade polycarbonate due to heat stress risks. Process selection is based on thickness and material type.
Recommended Materials for Roofing Panels
Custom Manufactured to Your Drawings
Roofing panels are produced to suit structural spans, fixing layouts, and architectural detailing.
We manufacture from:
CAD drawings (DXF, DWG, STEP)
Architectural roof schedules
Structural framing layouts
Site measurements or templates
Production supports:
Replacement panels for refurbishment
Custom skylight inserts
Small commercial runs
Repeat production for staged construction projects
All panels are CNC cut and finished in-house to ensure dimensional accuracy and alignment with mounting systems.

Design & Installation Considerations
Allow for thermal expansion in fixing design
Avoid over-tightening fasteners
Use appropriate gasket or sealing systems
Confirm span tables against structural loads
Protect edges from moisture ingress (multiwall products)
Ensure UV-protected side is correctly oriented
Drawings should clearly define hole placement, panel orientation, and support spacing.
Project Types Supported
Roofing panels are commonly supplied for:
Industrial warehouses
Distribution centres
Transport depots
Agricultural buildings
Commercial workshops
Public infrastructure structures
Covered walkways
Equipment shelters
Both new-build and refurbishment projects are supported, including replacement of aged or damaged translucent sections.
Daylighting & Performance Objectives
In many roofing applications, panels are specified to achieve functional daylighting rather than aesthetic glazing. Key objectives may include:
Reduction in artificial lighting demand
Even light diffusion across workspaces
Glare management
Controlled solar transmission
Weather protection
Material clarity, thickness, and surface finish influence light transmission performance.
Structural Integration Requirements
Roofing panels must integrate with:
Steel purlins and roof battens
Flashings and ridge caps
Gutter and drainage systems
Mechanical penetrations
Roof access systems
Drawings typically define:
Support spacing
Fixing hole diameter
Fastener type
Edge distances
Overlap requirements
Failure to accommodate expansion and support spacing can result in stress cracking or distortion.
Alternative Options:
All components used in this application are manufactured in-house using controlled, drawing-led production processes. We do not supply generic or off-the-shelf products. Each part is produced to specification to meet defined mechanical, environmental, and installation requirements.
Frequently Asked Questions
Yes, panels are manufactured to drawing and required dimensions.
Thickness depends on span and load requirements, commonly ranging from 4mm to 12mm solid sheet, or multiwall variants where specified.
Polycarbonate offers significantly higher impact resistance. Acrylic provides better clarity but lower impact strength.
Yes, with UV-stable grades suitable for outdoor exposure.
Yes, subject to material type and bending radius.
Holes are typically oversized to allow for thermal expansion.
