Technical Information
Summary
SolarSpan® is an ingenious combination of roofing, insulation and ceiling in one durable, functional and attractive panel. This all-in-one roofing solution offers the potential to create the ideal indoor/outdoor environment in any climate as well as providing cost effective roof/thermal solutions for commercial & non-commercial applications. SolarSpan® features a high tensile COLORBOND® steel exterior, a polystyrene core for insulation in all seasons and a pre-painted COLORBOND® steel underside.
Colours
SolarSpan® gives you the choice and ability to blend with today's modern textures and colour tones.
Ceiling Finishes
SolarSpan® gives you the choice of two ceiling finishes.
Expanded Polystyrene Core
- SolarSpanŽ utilizes an EPS (Expanded Polystyrene) core used in EPS panel extensively in Australia for over 50 years with close to 100 million square metres of EPS panel installed.
- An EPS panel is the traditional, economical and fit for purpose building solution for applications requiring thermal performance & efficiencies.

- NOTES:
- All spans are in mm.
- Pressures are maximum permissible values with a safety factor of 1.8 on the ultimate mean failure load.
- Where required, Ultimate Limit State Pressure values are obtained by multiplying table values by 1.8 (Safety factor) and 0.9 (Material factor).
i.e., Ultimate Limit State value (kPa) = Table value x 1.8 x 0.9 (kPa). - The maximum permissible pull out load on a rib fixing is 1.8 kN. Always check that adequate fixing capacity is provided.
- The spans are for single spans i.e. panel supported at the ends. The spans in multi-span cases are no greater than for the single span case.
- The maximum overhang is 0.25 times the maximum span for the given conditions, provided this value does not exceed 600 mm for 50mm SolarSpan, 1000mm for 75mm SolarSpan and 1200mm for 90mm SolarSpan.
