Industrial roofing & cladding services in Essex, Kent, London & Nationwide.

Composite roofing and cladding systems combine outer metal sheets with a bonded insulation core, creating a high-performance system that is quick and efficient to install. Available in a wide range of thicknesses, typically from 40mm to 100mm+, composite panels offer excellent thermal performance and U-value control, making them ideal for industrial buildings where energy efficiency is important.

Because the insulation and external sheets are manufactured as one product, installation is faster and more consistent compared with built-up systems. Composite panels also provide excellent weather resistance, durability and structural performance, making them a popular choice for warehouses, factories, distribution centres and industrial units.

At RB Facades, we work with trusted manufacturers and proven systems to ensure our clients receive reliable products that deliver long-term value and performance.

Twin skin systems are a multi-layer built-up roofing and cladding solution consisting of an internal liner sheet, insulation layer and external weather sheet. This method allows greater flexibility when achieving specific thermal performance requirements and U-values, while remaining a cost-effective and durable solution for industrial buildings.

Twin skin systems are widely used across the industrial sector due to their strength, adaptability and long service life. They are particularly suitable for large span buildings, manufacturing facilities and refurbishment projects, where performance, durability and value are key considerations.

Because the system is built in layers, it also allows greater flexibility when integrating services, vapour control layers and ventilation requirements, making it a highly practical option for complex projects.

Standing seam systems are a high-performance built-up metal roofing solution recognised for their clean architectural appearance and concealed fixing method. The system uses long metal sheets with raised seams that interlock, creating a weather-tight finish with no exposed fixings.

One of the major advantages of standing seam roofing is its ability to accommodate thermal movement, making it ideal for large roof spans commonly found in industrial facilities and data centres. The concealed fixing system also improves durability by reducing potential points of water ingress.

Standing seam roofs are often selected where both performance and aesthetics are important, offering a modern, streamlined finish while maintaining excellent weather resistance and longevity.
