There are so many options to consider when it comes to choosing a cover for your car, caravan, or boat. A well-designed carport shelter offers essential protection and can keep your grown-up toys looking good for longer. The team at Insulated Roofing Panels offer a range of locally manufactured, tried and tested products that can be mixed and matched to create the perfect covered storage solution for your home. Let’s take a look at the best roofing and other material options for carports in Queensland and NSW, including insulated roofing panels, single skin panels, and stylish louvre and slat accessories.
Choosing the Right Roofing Panels: Insulated Panel vs. Single Skin
The first step in building a covered carport is selecting the right roofing panels for the job. Two excellent options are insulated roofing panels and single skin panels.
Insulated roofing panels are ideal for those looking to maintain a more consistent temperature under the carport, as they offer superior thermal insulation. These panels help keep your vehicle cooler in the summer, as well as protecting it from extreme weather conditions. They are also easy to install with their seamless two-in-one system.
If you’re working within a tighter budget, smooth single skin panels are a cost-effective alternative that will still provide robust protection against the elements, albeit with less insulation. These panels are lightweight, easy to install, and come in a variety of finishes to match your home’s aesthetic
Increased Protection with Louvres and Slats
To further protect your car, boat or caravan from the harsh effects of sun, wind, hail and rain, consider incorporating louvres and slats in your carport design.
Louvres are perfect for controlling light and airflow, ensuring your carport remains well-ventilated while shielding your vehicle from direct sunlight and harsh weather. They can be installed in either a vertical or horizontal configuration, depending on your design preferences.
Slats, on the other hand, offer moderate protection from the elements and add a sleek, modern look to the styling of your carport. Slats are often used to create privacy screens or to define the space, giving your carport a polished and cohesive appearance
A Savvy Long-Term Investment
Building a covered carport is a long-term investment that protects your vehicles as well as adding potential value to your home. The high-quality materials used to manufacture all the roofing panels, louvres, and slats we sell via Insulated Roofing Panels are designed to withstand the test of time. Building a covered carport using top quality products to better protect your car, motorbike, boat or caravan from the elements is an investment that should lesson maintenance requirements due to weather effects and extend their overall lifespan.
