Sizes & Colors

Insulated Roof Panels (IRP) may be ordered in 3”, 4” and 6” thicknesses.

  • 3” is our standard thickness,
  • 4” is used when recessed lights are installed, long projections and higher snow loads.
  • 6” a special order item and is used for longer projections and very high snow loads

IRPs may also be upgraded from .024 to .032 gauge skins and from #1 to #2 foam.
This is all taken into account when we confirm your estimate to make sure you meet your local snow and wind loads.

The insulated roof panels are only available in limited colors. On the West Coast they come in White, Sandalwood and Beechwood. Central and East Coast regions have white, sand and cameo colors. The posts, header and trim kits are still available in all the standard colors for your area. When you enter your zip code in the Designer your default colors should come up.

Helpful Tips

Solid covers come with decorative rafter tails along the front fascia. They may be ordered without the rafter tails for a cleaner look.

Solid covers need ¼” per foot of slope for rain runoff. If you have the room we recommend at least ½” per foot. Covers may have more slope if you desire.

Flashing is not needed or included in the standard kit. The top of the IRP acts as a flashing.

It is important to supply us with the correct snow and wind loads to make sure your cover is designed and quoted correctly.

Accessories

Ceiling fans are able to be attached to solid covers. The optional fan beam is used to support the fan and protect the wiring.

LED recessed lights are an option for our solid covers. Each IRP you install lights in will need a fan beam to run the wiring. We recommend the 4” thick roofs when installing LED recessed lights.

Solar panels may be attached on top of our solid roofs. We do not have any engineering or carry parts for the connections, the solar company supplies these. When attaching solar panels we recommend ordering a cover with a 10lb live load over what is required for your area. We also recommend ordering a fan beam in every IRP.

Seam Tape may be purchased as an option. The tape goes over the IRP seams on top of the cover. The tape helps to prolong the life of the caulking.
