Yes, the roof panels are designed to withstand up to 140kg over the supported area of roof only (i.e. No loads are permitted on the unsupported overhang section of roofs).

Yes, the panels can be cut with either nibblers, a cold cut saw or any other cutting methods approved by BlueScope.

Yes, any domestic grade electrical appliance can be face-fixed to the ceiling side of a panel roof.

Skillion and gable roof designs are most economical for panel roofing. Generally, most houses can be (re) designed to satisfy this requirement and maintain their aesthetic appeal. However, it is possible to use panel roofing on hip and valley roof designs if necessary.

Yes, a services void is provided at the panel join to facilitate running of electrical wires. Of course these should only be installed by a suitably qualified electrician.

Ensure your Solaris™ panels are installed as per the manufacturer’s recommendations and any exterior metal surfaces that are not exposed to “washing down” by rain should be manually washed down once per year to avoid build-up of corrosive materials or pollutants.

A comprehensive manufacturer’s warranty is provided for all Solaris™ panels for up to 15 years.

Yes, in a similar manner to an automotive repair regime. Dents are filled using a plastic resin body filler, sanded and then painted. Scratches are sanded and painted. COLORBOND® repair paints are available from your local COLORBOND® stockists and most large hardware stores.

EPS has absolutely no nutritional value as a food source so will not attract vermin. We do however recommend that you maintain a suitable pest control regime to prevent vermin from burrowing into or through the EPS core.

Yes, subject to minimum order quantities and colour selection. Darker colours may not be suitable for use in certain hot arid regions where the COLORBOND® skin temperature could exceed 80 degrees celcius. Refer to your Solaris™ representative for confirmation of the colours suited to your application.

Solaris™ panels provide a similar acoustic performance to lightweight stud walls commonly used in residential applications. Improved acoustic performance can be achieved by application of select linings. Refer to you SolarisTM representative for more detail.

This will not occur if moist air is prevented from entering the inside of the building. The EPS insulated core prevents thermal bridging occurring between the outer and inner skins, so even if a considerable temperature difference exists between the inside and outside, condensation will not occur. A dry internal environment can be assured in humid climates by incorporating specific design features including entry air locks, ventilation, refrigerative rather than evaporative air conditioning.
