Advancing Technology in the Insulation Panel Field
At Austek, we like to keep apprised of all the latest developments and happenings in the
outdoor lifestyle game. That’s why we keep our ears to the ground and make sure that we’re looking at practices

A modern advancement in outdoor insulation for your patio or pergola is the development of
the “sandwich” insulation panel. This panel is actually (as the name suggests) a layered panel that consists of
a layer of material with a low-density core (something like PIR, mineral wool, XPS) with a thin skin layer
(usually a lighter wood or metal product like aluminium) on either side. These panels are an example of a
sandwich-structured composite, and its main draw is the strength and lightness of the technology. We use
sandwich roof panels in our patio construction to create a robust, cost-effective structure that will help with
regular temperatures and provide shade.
Our insulated roof panels are remarkably known in Sydney for their:

FAQs
How much does an insulated patio cover cost?
DIY kits can cost just a few thousand dollars for smaller patio sizes, or upwards of $5000 to $8000+ for larger covers. For a more precise example, a 6x4m kit may cost around $8000. Professional patio installation (highly recommended) will cost more, as will add-ons and bonus features, like lighting.
What are the disadvantages of insulated roofing panels?
The disadvantages of using insulated roofing panels (aside from the extra cost) largely come down to how well they are installed. Improperly installed insulated roof panels can trap moisture, leading to mould, rust, and reduced insulation effectiveness. Some panels also make use of synthetic foam cores, which can be flammable if exposed. That said, hired specialists should have no problem avoiding these pitfalls.
What is the best type of insulation for a roof?
The answer will depend heavily on the climate and the style of the roof. For maximum heat reduction, reflective foil/sarking is recommended. To seal against moisture and air leaks, turn to spray foam. As for insulated roof panels, they work really well for patios, pergolas, sunrooms, and carports, as well as for low-pitch, flat, or skillion roofs, without much need (if any) for additional insulation. Talk to our experts at Austek to find out which variant will work best for you.
What is the highest R-value insulation in Australia?
The highest possible R-value (meaning how resistant your insulation is to heat transfer) you can find in Australia is R8.0, as found with such products as Knauf Earthwool ceiling batts, which are considered high-performance and ranked to a 7-star energy standard. That said, R6.0 is also commonly used in premium installations, so it all depends on what you’d prefer to spend.
What is the best insulation for a Colorbond roof?
The higher the R-value of your insulation under a Colorbond roof, the better. You can rely purely on high R-value insulation panels (R6.0 and above is considered deluxe), or you can layer multiple forms of insulation for an overall higher score. For example, you could use a foil-faced blanket, sarking, and insulated panels for a truly standout temperature stabilising system.
Is sarking required under a Colorbond roof?
While not always mandatory, it is highly recommended to get sarking beneath your Colorbond roof in Australia, especially if you live in a bushfire-prone area. The sarking helps as a protective barrier against leaks, moisture, and heat. As a result, expect any professional builders you hire to recommend it (and rightly so).
How much does a structural insulated panel cost?
Structural insulated panels (often called SIPs) in Australia typically cost between $200 and $250 per m2. This cost can vary based on panel thickness, size, and application (wall variants are usually cheaper). The use of structural insulation panels is known to decrease build time, so the higher cost may be offset by actual time spent by builders on site.
What is the best insulated roof panel in Australia?
Three highly lauded insulated roof panel brands are SolarSpan, ARCPANEL, and Versiclad. SolarSpan is often considered the best overall, combining a Colorbond steel exterior with a fire-retardant core and a pre-finished ceiling layer. ARCPANEL has a thirty-year history of high performance, proving R-values of up to 6.6 by itself. Versiclad is recognised for a diverse and lightweight range.
Are insulated roof panels worth it?
Insulated roof panels are a minimal fuss option that can save you time during construction (as well as money spent on the labour hours saved) while providing high R-values and ensuring a comfortable area once complete. This makes them well worth the investment, especially if you plan to use them for a low-pitch skillion roof (featured in many modern residential designs).
What R-value insulation is needed for a ceiling?
The R-value recommended for Australian ceilings to meet modern energy efficiency standards (based on 7-star BASIX requirements) is between R5.0 and R6.0. This can be attained by simply selecting the right insulated roof panel or by layering lower-rated products until the desired rating is achieved.
