So, has anyone here used such stuff themselves and can point out any
pitfalls etc please?

I used their 80mm AS35 foam sandwich for a large, pitched roof workshop
without any real problems.

Brilliant. That was one of the profiles I considered (I spotted it on
another site). Can you remember roughly how much it cost please Tim?

November 2006 AS35 80mm composite sheeting cost £23.78/m

Ouch .. :-(

I also bought some AS35 40mm seconds at £7.73/m.

That is slightly better (considering it is already insulated etc) but
still not cheap if you are d-i-y'ing (ie, not having to pay labour).

Seconds are slightly
damaged: dented/overlong etc.

I guess if that was say a sheet of polycarb or cement fibre you could
easily cut off the excess or lose a damaged corner somewhere where it
didn't matter. I seems this AS35 is quite a 'engineering' solution in
how the joints are made / sealed etc.

They are exempt from LPC approval so may
not be a good idea for a domestic installation.

Even for something like a fully detached workshop Tim?

I used a metal cutting
circular saw to cut them but there may be other ways.

Ok ..

For a ridge, you will need internal and external folded section at
around £5.00/m. Ridge fillers at £0.75ea. Also 90 deg. barge at a
similar price. Fixings are not exorbitant.

That's another couple of hundred quid?

Delivery might be an issue as these usually arrive on an artic fitted
with a Moffet Mountie fork truck. Delivery to Herts. was £150.

So would be the same for me (Herts) as it's probably per load rather
than value?

I guess you have 3" cement fibre in self colour.

nips out with tape measure Yep ;-) While we are on the subject,
would you know what other colours are available please?

I found delivery times
on painted *big 6* sheets had reached 3 months, recently.

Oh, ok, well in the real world I have a lot of work to do before I get
to that stage so may not be a problem etc. re the painted sheets Tim,
is this something that would need re-doing in time?

All the best and thanks again Tim.
