Metal Waterproofing
R-MER COMPOSITE
Thermally efficient composite panel systems combining structural performance with integrated insulation. Available in roof, wall, and tile configurations with PIR or mineral wool cores, delivering superior thermal performance for industrial, commercial, agricultural, and residential projects.
Performance
Solarwatt panels feature premium glass-glass construction (not glass-plastic like many competitors), offering superior durability and performance. German engineering ensures minimal degradation (maximum 0.35% annually vs industry standard 0.7%), 30-year comprehensive guarantees, and proven reliability in challenging UK weather conditions.

Why Choose R-MER COMPOSITE?
Thermal Performance
Integrated PIR or mineral wool insulation achieves exceptional U-values.
Single Component Installation
Combined insulation and weathering layer reduces installation phases.
Design Versatility
Three panel types cover roofs, walls, and tile applications.
Class 0 Fire Rating
Internal and external faces meet Class 0 Building Regulations when tested to BS476 Parts 6 and 7.
System Components
R-MER COMPOSITE panels integrate metal outer and inner faces with high-performance insulation cores, delivered as complete factory-bonded assemblies for rapid weathertight installation.
Composite Roof Panels
Where thermal efficiency and large spans are required
Insulated composite panels with trapezoidal profile for pitched roof applications requiring thermal efficiency and large spans.
- Profile: Trapezoidal outer surface
- Insulation: Integrated PIR or mineral wool core
- Minimum pitch: 4° after deflection
- Insulation continuity: Maintained across penetrations
- Installation: Reduced joint count for faster installation
- Panel length: Up to 13 metres continuous (reduces joints)
Composite Wall SF Panels
For clean external appearance
Secret fix composite wall panels with concealed jointing for thermal performance and clean aesthetics across multiple applications.
- Fixing type: Secret fix with concealed joints
- Sealing: Factory-applied seal in side lap
- Fasteners: No visible fixings
- Water protection: Prevents ingress at panel joints
- Insulation: High thermal values
- Design flexibility: Versatile application options
Composite Tile Panels
No separate insulation layers beneath conventional tiles
Factory-insulated tile profile panels combining traditional tile aesthetics with integrated PIR insulation for superior thermal performance.
- Profile: Tile appearance with integrated insulation
- Insulation: PIR core eliminates separate insulation layers
- Minimum pitch: 8°
- Thermal performance: U-values meeting current Building Regulations
- Weight: Lighter than traditional tile-and-insulation assemblies
- Benefits: Traditional appearance with modern thermal efficiency
Insulation Cores
Superior thermal resistance per millimeter thickness
Factory-bonded insulation cores providing thermal and acoustic performance with multiple thickness options to meet specified U-values.
- Core types: PIR or mineral wool
- Construction: Factory-bonded between metal faces
- PIR benefits: Superior thermal resistance per mm
- Mineral wool benefits: Acoustic performance and fire resistance
- Stability: No slumping or thermal degradation over panel lifespan
- Application: Space-limited or fire/acoustic performance requirements
System Accessories
Designed specifically for composite panel installations
Complete range of purpose-designed accessories ensuring weathertight junctions and thermal performance across composite panel installations.
- Junction points: Ridges, eaves, verges, valleys, and penetrations
- Profile fillers: Foam seals at gable ends and base rails
- Protection: Prevents insect and moisture ingress at panel voids
- Visual consistency: Matched colours and profiles across all elements
- Performance: Ensures weathertight integrity throughout system
- Range: Flashings, fillers, sealants, fixings, and rooflights
