What are Architectural Insulated Panels (AIPs)?

ARCPANEL insulated panels combine high-strength, pre-finished steel with an insulating core. As a result, they provide an all-in-one insulated roof or wall solution with excellent thermal performance and structural integrity.

Our versatile roof systems suit residential homes, patios, awnings and commercial buildings. They are also ideal for schools, sports buildings, covered learning areas, walkways, amenity buildings and aquatic facilities. As a result, they offer design flexibility for diverse architectural requirements.

ARC PANEL panels provide high thermal ratings, with R-values up to R6.5. This helps improve energy efficiency by reducing heating and cooling demands. As a result, ARC PANEL insulated panels can deliver significant energy savings and improve the environmental performance of buildings.

Yes, ARCPANEL panels suit both commercial and residential roofing applications, including patios. They offer excellent flexibility and durability.

We offer product warranties of up to 20 years, providing peace of mind about the durability and longevity of our roofing solutions.

In addition, our panels provide high thermal ratings and suit a wide range of residential and commercial projects. ARCPANEL also offers alternatives for corrosive, industrial and extreme bushfire environments.

Our panels can achieve spans up to 12.5 metres and cantilever overhangs up to 4.5 metres. As a result, projects may require less structural support, helping reduce construction costs and build time.

Yes, we can custom-manufacture panels in straight, curved, multi-curved and bullnose configurations to suit specific design requirements. We can manufacture panels up to 20 metres long and lap join them for longer roofs.

Yes, the Ecotek Panel suits low-pitch roofing applications with a minimum roof pitch of 2 degrees. Therefore, it is suitable for both commercial and residential projects.

Absolutely. We manufacture our panels in Australia to comply with relevant building codes and standards, including the National Construction Code (NCC). This helps ensure quality, safety and conformance.

Yes, we offer a range of insulated panels with EPS-FR and PIR insulation cores certified for bushfire resistance up to BAL-40. Therefore, these panels are suitable for use in bushfire-prone regions.

Impressive cantilevers with fewer structural supports

ARCPANEL insulated roof systems can achieve significant cantilever overhangs. This creates greater architectural freedom with fewer supporting structures.

In addition, ARCPANEL combines excellent thermal performance with panel options suited to corrosive environments. This makes our roof systems ideal for demanding projects such as the Crocodile Hunter Lodge at Australia Zoo.

Can ARCPANEL insulated panels be used in corrosive environments?

Yes, the Aquatek Panel suits aquatic and corrosive environments in both residential and commercial applications. We also offer Colorbond ULTRA and Unicote Coastal steel finishes for coastal and severe marine locations.

ARCPANEL offers the complete range of COLORBOND® finishes, including standard, metallic, matt and ultra colours. We also offer custom colours and specialty options such as Unicote Coastal and UniCote® LUX. For added flexibility, we can manufacture panels with different colours or finishes on each side to suit specific design needs.

ARCPANEL systems are quick and easy to install, often 3–4 times faster than traditional roofing methods. As a result, they can reduce on-site labour and associated costs. Our panels also achieve unsupported spans of up to 12.5 metres. This can reduce the need for roof trusses and other structural supports, helping lower construction costs and installation times.

Yes, the solid insulated core helps dampen external noise from rain and hail, creating a quieter indoor environment. In addition, the profiled (corrugated) ceiling finish provides greater noise reduction than flat metal ceilings and helps reduce sound transmission.

Yes, ARCPANEL insulated panels can support sustainable construction by reducing overall embodied energy and construction waste. They also enhance thermal performance and reduce energy consumption. As a result, they can improve environmental performance throughout the life of the building.

Yes, our roof panels are structurally robust and can support additional loads such as solar panels, lights and fans. We can also accommodate skylights and penetrations for vents and exhaust fans. In addition, the ARCPANEL support team can discuss and review your specific requirements.
