Insulated Roof Carports

As the name suggests, an insulated roof carport is a carport with an insulated roof. A carport that is improperly insulated means that a lot of energy is wasted. Proper insulation keeps the carport warm in the winter and cool in the summer. 

Proper insulation also controls condensation which helps avoid build-up of hazardous mold and reduces corrosion in metals. This is very important, especially for timber carports and steel carports. Steel metal roofing can be highly resilient to the weather elements, but it is also a highly conductive material. This reaction is what allows the freezing temperature to permeate the carport during winter and the scorching heat during summer. Installing an insulated roof carport is the best method to block these heat transfers and to control condensation.

Insulated roof carports also control noise within the structure. The better insulated the structure is, the less likely for sound to come through. Generally, insulated roof carports are all about your comfort. Whether it’s noise management or temperature control, this type of carport will definitely leave you feeling cool and comfy. 

There are several materials you can choose for your insulated roof carport, but the three most common insulation types in Australia include reflective or thermal insulation, foam board, and fiberglass. Make sure to consult with your install which material is best for the design that you want and the use of the area. 

The cost and effectiveness of the various types of insulation differ according to the quality of the materials used. Transfer of heat generally occurs through the roof and ceiling, so you need to choose materials that offer high levels of insulation.

Insulated roofing carports are a revolutionary technology that incorporates colour steel roofing with insulation. Some of the advantages of insulated roof carports are:

Improved comfort

Insulated roof carports help regulate the temperature inside your carport. It keeps the interior cooler during summer and warmer during winter, making sure that your carport maintains the ideal temperature. 

Energy efficient

Insulated roof carports are energy efficient because you don’t have to blast your car’s air conditioning system just to lower the temperature faster. This means that you can minimise your emissions. 

Design flexibility

Insulated roof carports come in various styles and designs. They can be built using various materials in various colours and finishes, as long as the insulation property is maintained. The great thing about insulated roof carports is that they can be installed with custom modular widths without worrying about whether it will be too cramped or hot inside. With such a wide array of designs, you definitely find the carport style that suits your requirements. 

Easy installation

Insulated roof carports are as easy to install as other carport types. The only difference here is the material used for the roofing, which boosts insulation within the carport. The dimensions of the carport can be also customised according to your needs. 

Longevity

The manufactured panels used for insulated roof carports are rigid and durable. They are highly resistant to weather and abuse, so your carport can last for several years without needing a replacement. Insulated roof carports are ideal for those located in areas or suburbs that experience severe weather conditions, including snowstorms, hail, too much sun, and heavy winds. Insulated roof carports also provide exceptional fire resistance. Insulated panels are manufactured using non-combustible materials, preventing the spread of fire to your property. Fire-resistant roofing is a requirement if your carport is located in an area that is prone to bushfires.

Cost efficient

Insulated roof carports are more cost effective because of the energy savings you get in the long term. They significantly reduce your maintenance expenses and energy bills.
