Ward Insulated Panels has recently supplied a total insulated roof solution for a new Guy Salmon Land Rover outlet in Cheshire.

The Knutsford based site used a combination of Ward DR1000 trapezoidal panels and Ward Topdek composite single-ply panels to roof its new showroom and workshops. The finished building successfully marries the different requirements of providing a smart showroom with practical workshops and stores blended into one, reflecting the ‘solid’ nature of the Land Rover brand.
Ward products have been specified for a growing number of automotive showroom buildings with customers including Bentley, Porsche and Lamborghini.
Andy Wardley of AMS Cladding, the company that specified and installed the roofing panels, says, “We used Ward insulated roof systems because they offered a high quality, cost effective solution for the whole job. We needed a roof that could be installed and weather sealed quickly and the Ward products allowed us to do this.”

The Ward Trapezoidal DR1000 Panel is a concealed fixed composite panel for roof and wall applications. Like all Ward products it incorporates a Firesafe Polyisocyanurate (PIR) insulation core with zero Ozone Depletion Potential (Zero ODP).

Ward Topdek is a factory pre-engineered composite roof panel that offers faster onsite assembly compared to traditional single ply roofing methods. It comprises a high performance single-ply PVC outer membrane integrally bonded to a Firesafe rigid PIR insulation core approved to LPBC standards, and a steel trapezoidal inner deck, which provide structural support.

As an all–in-one single ply roofing solution, Topdek replaces the individual processes of laying steel roof decking, vapour control layer, insulation, and outer membrane with one simple installation, which, when compared to traditional built up roofing systems, is proving to be up to 50% faster to install. A new self-coring fixing screw – unique to Topdek – speeds the installation process even further.
