Insulated panels

Trisomet® external trapezoidal insulated roof and wall panel system

Steel insulated roof panels with optimum performance for water drainage, strength and walkability.

Building Systems UK's Trisomet® are trapezoidal insulated panel systems manufactured as a single component suitable for both roof and wall cladding applications.

As a one-fix component its consistency enables speed of installation and with a wide spaced trapezoidal steel external skin provides optimum performance for water drainage, strength and walkability.

Time saving factory applied sealant – Trisomet® steel insulated roof panels are available with a factory applied side lap sealant (FASS) for improved consistency of weathering performance; and increased efficiency through faster installation speeds and reduced demand for onsite labour.

* The panel length is measured by the length of the external sheet, as shown above. Lengths over 14,000mm will be subject to additional delivery charges.

** Panels will always have one flush end and one cutback end; therefore they will be handed and should be ordered according to the direction of lay required.

*** Recommended end laps are 50mm for horizontal, 100mm for vertical and 150mm for roof applications.

EN-Construction-Product-Trisomet | Platinum® Plus system guarantee

Platinum® Plus system guarantee

Our Platinum® Plus system guarantee offers coverage for 25 years. Simply fill in your project details using our easy-to-use online specification tool or contact us directly.

We understand that complex buildings need tailored solutions, so our online specification tool has been designed by our technical team to help you create the right specification to suit the needs of your project, making sure all roofing and cladding components listed and are compatible and perform as a system. It also stores all the specifications you create for ease of access in ‘my projects’.

Creating a Platinum® Plus specification give you free access to our technical team that will support you from design to completion – including those all-important final checks during installation.

Platinum® Plus incorporates only the highest quality components that are designed to do what they say but also provide you with unrivalled choice and flexibility in the specification of your building envelope. The many benefits and reassurance it provides is what sets it apart from all other guarantees, making it the number one choice for complete peace of mind to truly lower the cost of ownership throughout the life of the building.

View our interactive brochure to find out more or watch our video below

 

The Platinum Plus system guarantee needs to be registered by the specifier prior to the tender package being distributed. To find out more click here, alternatively please contact our technical team so that we can help you to guarantee the longevity of your building click here to contact us.

EN-Construction-Product-Trisomet | Thermal and fire performance

Thermal and fire performance

Thermal performance

Trisomet® complies with the minimum requirements of the conservation of fuel and power sections of the Building Regulations for England and Wales (Part L2) and Scotland (Technical Handbook Section 6 Energy). The panel construction offers highly consistent insulation performance, and the site-formed junctions provide a practical and effective method of ensuring good thermal performance.

Thickness (mm) U-value (W/m2K)* Typical application
40 0.46 Unheated building
60 0.33 Min Part L requirement for wall
80 0.25 Min Part L requirement for roof
100 0.2 Enhanced
120 0.16 Enhanced
135 0.15 Enhanced

 

* Figures computer modelled in accordance with EN ISO 10211

Fire Safety*

Trisomet® carries Grade EXT-B and EXT-A approval by the LPCB. Also achieves fire resistance performance of up to 4 hours integrity and 30 mins insulation dependant on panel thickness. These are attained using standard fixing and sealing methods (external side-lap stitched at maximum 300mm centres).

The panel achieves a Broof (t4) performance for the external surface spread of flame and fire penetration on a roof in accordance with BS EN 13501-5. The internal surface of the panel also complies with a Class B s2 d0 rating in accordance with BS EN 13501-1.

Following rigorous structural and fire performance testing with FM Global, Trisomet® panels have achieved FM Approvals certification to the following stringent standards:

4471: Class 1 Panel roofs

4480: Class 1 Insulated wall and ceiling panels

4481: Class 1 Exterior wall systems (unlimited height)

Specifying and installing FM Approved products will provides assurance that the products have been objectively tested and confirm to the highest international standards. FM Approved roof and wall panel’s means you can be confident that your building envelope will withstand a broad range of fire and environmental risks and be safe throughout its lifecycle..
