The AS35 system offers rapid coverage and swift completion of a weatherproof building envelope. It consists of two coated steel profiles with PIR insulation between forming a strong rigid panel with good thermal performance. They can be used to form roofs down to a 4º pitch and walls. The system includes a comprehensive range of guttering, flashings, sealants and rooflights.
AS35 panels are fire tested by LPCB to LPS 1181:2003. The PIR insulation has a thermal conductivity of 0.019W/mK and the edges are sealed to offer effective resistance to air leakage. They are unaffected by mould, fungi or mildew and do not support vermin. AS35 panels have a weighted sound reduction Rw of between 22db and 25db in accordance with BS EN ISO 140-3:1995, and have a predicted service life of 40 years, which can be further extended by touching up cut edges at the time of installation.
Profiled rooflights are available to match AS35 panels. These can be two or three skins of GRP and can be supplied to meet project requirements for light transmission, durability, non-fragility, fire resistance and thermal performance. Each rooflight has a metal underlap strip built into the crown of the male edge which enables the rooflights to be stitched with standard screws.
Gutters can be supplied in a variety of finishes and can be manufactured to client specifications.
Flashings can be supplied in lengths up to 6m in traditional profiles or can be shaped to customer requirements.
Standard external colours include Goosewing Grey, Ivory, Merlin Grey, Moorland Green, Mushroom, Olive Green, Juniper Green, Ocean Blue, Slate Blue, Teracotta, Vandyke Brown and White. Other colours are available to order.
The Meta-SlatePlus system is a combination of the Meta-Slate slate effect roofing sheet, fixed over Steadmans’ AS35 insulated panel.
Meta-SlatePlus has the appearance of natural slate but carries the advantages of modern lightweight construction. The sheet is embossed with a regular slate pattern and is covered with a slate blue matt Nova finish. Other finishes and colours are available by special order.
Meta-Slate is ideal for environmentally sensitive locations where planning restrictions may exist and is fixed by a simple secret fix joint system.
The Meta-SlatePlus System may be fitted down to a 10º pitch and has good thermal performance characteristics in addition to those shown by the AS35 roofing sheet, and includes a comprehensive range of clips, jointing pieces, flashings, end closures, sealants and coated steel or plastic gutters and downpipes.
Steadmans also produce a range of Single and Twinskin metal cladding systems for industrial and commercial buildings.
