ARCPANEL Overview

Fully Integrated Roof System

ARCPANEL ecotek roof panel combines aesthetic, innovative design, with high strength, durability and excellent thermal
insulation. ARCPANEL panels can also be curved to produce an outstanding architectural feature and provide increased
interior space. The ARCPANEL ecotek roof panel can achieve significant cantilevers, in some applications up to 40% of
the actual back span and this unique system eliminates the need for complex, expensive roof structures. The lightweight
ARCPANEL panels are easily handled on site, achieving faster, lower cost installation.

Unique Design & Construction

ARCPANEL pre-fabrication starts with Trimdek topside and Corrugated COLORBOND® sheeting underside, bonded
to both sides of profiled EPS. The panel yields high strength resulting in large spans & cantilevers along with a high
insulation value. Standard ratings from R1.7 to R6.1 can easily be achieved. The strength of this construction means that
the ARCPANEL ecotek roof panel is suitable for use in cyclonic conditions. After the panels are fixed in place, there is
virtually no maintenance required other than the occasional wash down of soffits.

On site time spent fitting trusses, eave linings, plasterboard, battens, insulation lining, roof sheeting and painting, is
eliminated when using ARCPANEL ecotek roof panel.

Key Features and Benefits

Achieve up to 12.3m unsupported spans - reduce expensive support structures e.g. roof trusses & support beams

Superior low pitch (2 Degrees) capability

Pre-finished top and bottom sheet - extensive range of COLORBOND ® colours available

Straight or large curve configurations, suitable for most architectural designs

Dependant on the design, cantilevers of up to 40% the actual backspan can be achieved

Suitable for use in cyclonic wind conditions

ARCPANEL ecotek roof panel is available in COLORBOND® Ultra, Stainless Steel, Zincalume® & Xtreme

Rapid installation makes the ARCPANEL ecotek roof panel a clear winner over traditional roof construction

Fire Rated to Group 1 - Roof and wall lining material

Superior standard thermal ratings up to R6.1 are achieved using the ARCPANEL ecotek roof panel

ARCPANEL Applications

Roof Types
Straight panels can be manufactured up to 24 metres in length, suitable
for housing, awnings, patios, commercial and industrial projects.
Straight & large curved panels can be manufactured using XRW,
Ultra, Stainless Steel, Zincalume® and Xtreme. A range of
COLORBOND® colours are available, with limited colour ranges
in Stainless Steel and Xtreme.

Curved panels can be manufactured to radii greater than 60 metres.

*50m radius also available contact ARCPANEL for further
information.

Curved panels can be manufactured in lengths up to 24 metres,

panels can be joined to achieve longer runs.
Material Selection
Due to the extreme weather conditions and geographic locations in Australia and its coastal areas, care should be taken
when selecting the material type that will be used in constructing the ARCPANEL Ecotek roof panel. Technical Bulletins
developed by Bluescope Steel are available from ARCPANEL, or visit www.bluescopesteel.com.au.

An ARCPANEL insulated roof system with COLORBOND® steel plays a major part in the design of a thermally efficient
building. COLORBOND® steel now includes Thermatech® solar reflectance technology to reflect more of the sun’s heat,
especially in summer. In hot weather, COLORBOND® steel with Thermatech® can help reduce peak roof temperatures by
up to 11oC.
For a superior thermally efficient building, if you select COLORBOND® Coolmax® steel in Whitehaven®, you could help
reduce the annual cooling energy costs of your building by up to 7.5%¹ compared to COLORBOND® steel

Span Selection Notes (Non Cyclonic Areas)

1. Tables 3A, 3B and 3C apply to typical enclosed buildings built on the ground, less than 20m high with sealed doors and windows
capable of resisting the applied wind pressures
2. Roof pressure coefficients: Cpe = 1.5 X -0.9 = -1.35, Cpi = +0.2 [Cpi = +0.7 at cantilever]
3. The building designer must take into account any application where the Cpi would exceed > 0.2 in open or partly open structures
4. Maximum cantilever for N1-W28, N2-W33 & N3-W41 is up to 40% actual backspan no greater than max length shown
5. Maximum cantilever for N4-W50 & N5-W60 is up to 30% actual backspan no greater than max length shown
(Maximum cantilever lengths cannot be exceeded)
Choose a thicker panel to achieve the required cantilever (Minimum width of cantilevered roof is 1.5 x cantilever)
6. Wind Load Serviceability Criteria based on AS 4055, Vs=0.64 x Vu
7. Oversized gutters may affect the cantilever capability, please contact ARCPANEL for advice
8. Limited racking, diaphragm action and lateral restraint capacity
9. 300mm maximum side cantilever using full uncut panel
10. Thermal R-Values are Total R-Values (Winter - Tested conductivity 0.038W/m.K at 23˚C)
11. Spans shown are for XRW, ULTRA materials. For Xtreme material, spans reduce by 5% for each use of the Xtreme material (top/bottom sheet)
for ULS Design Wind Pressures less than 2.34kPa.
12. In locations where the roof panels are not fixed to the parallel raked external walls (due to glazing and the like), the engineer shall select the
panels using the max wind pressure calculated with upwind local pressure coefficients in accordance with AS1170.2

ARCPANEL roof diaphragm action assumes there is adequate structural connection through the full length of the building
along supporting walls and beams, capable of resisting the resulting overall tension and compressive loads caused by any
ARCPANEL roof diaphragm action, as would be normally required in a traditionally braced roof.

ARCPANEL Certification

Choose products that meet Australia’s highest level of BCA compliance.

CodeMark is a building product certification scheme which supports the use of new and innovative
building products by providing a nationally and internationally accepted process for products to be
assessed for compliance with the requirements of the building codes of Australia and New Zealand.

CodeMark strengthens the entire building supply chain and gives users confidence that their building
products comply with the Building Code of Australia (or in New Zealand the New Zealand Building Code). CodeMark
certificates are accredited from internationally recognised accreditation bodies, offering increased credibility and
acceptance of a certificate holder’s CodeMark certified products.

The scheme provides confidence and certainty to regulatory authorities and the market through the issue of a Certificate
of Conformity.

How CodeMark Works: Third-party CodeMark certification bodies evaluate and certify products to ensure they
meet the specified requirements of the National Construction Code (NCC) and Building Code of Australia (BCA).

Product Certification - The Australian Building Codes Board (ABCB) is committed to ensuring best practice in the
building and construction industry. There are two product certification schemes to provide a nationally consistent quality of
materials and products; the voluntary CodeMark building product certification scheme which the ABCB owns and jointly
manages and the mandatory WaterMark plumbing and drainage product certification scheme which is managed and
administered by the ABCB.

A register of CodeMark certified products is maintained by the ABCB and listed on this website. Relevant legislation
requires building control authorities to accept CodeMark certified products.

ARCPANEL - Warranty Period

ARCPANEL Insulated Panel - Warranty Period

ARCPANEL takes pride in the quality of the materials used in its products. That quality allows ARCPANEL
to offer its customers, in particular circumstances, certain warranties over and above required statutory
warranties. Whether or not those warranties apply is dependent upon factors including, without limitation,
the Panel Material, the site location and Environmental Exposure. Those warranties can at times have
extensive warranty periods up to the maximum that appear in the tables below and those warranties are
otherwise limited by ARCPANEL's Terms and Conditions.

Specific project limited warranties will be customised and determined at ARCPANEL's sole discretion on a
job by job basis. In exercising that discretion ARCPANEL will consider numerous factors particularly those
related to the:
 intended use of the Product; and
 location at which the Product will be used.

For example, in categorising, customising and determining warranty periods for Severe Marine or Very
Severe Marine applications ARCPANEL will consider factors present such as whether or not different
marine conditions apply such as Surf, Exposed or Calm conditions where:

Surf typically means that the near vicinity or the area is exposed to breaking surf and ocean spray.

Exposed typically means that there are expanses of salt or brackish water present in the near vicinity and
the area or the near vicinity is exposed to onshore winds, but not typically to breaking surf.

Calm typically means protected areas of salt or brackish water, including ports, harbours, bays, and river
estuaries.

Due to the ARCPANEL’s policy of continued improvements to its Products and systems, the specifications
and detailed contained in its publications may change without notice. Please refer to ARCPANEL's Terms
and Conditions which are available by contacting ARCPANEL on 1300 200 004 or by email
[email protected].

 I like the simplicity of
the insulated roof system.
Architecturally, I was attracted
to the incredible cantilevers
provided with such a thin
elegant profile.
Structurally - it can achieve
enormous spans and on
an environmental note, it
provides terrific thermal
comfort and is re-usable.”
