luvsdawgs Posted August 15, 2020 Report Share Posted August 15, 2020 Where are these sold lakeside? I have checked a few places with no luck. Probably made our of some type of plastic, PVC perhaps. Home Depots sells them but would like to buy locally. Thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tkessler Posted August 15, 2020 Report Share Posted August 15, 2020 Check out "Cempanel". Not that common but very nice and readily available I used it for a garage covered with solar panels. Turned out great Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ea93105 Posted August 16, 2020 Report Share Posted August 16, 2020 I think a brand new place opened up in Riberas which sells panels. Right next door to the two story empty building that recently had a bar upstrairs. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WideSky Posted August 16, 2020 Report Share Posted August 16, 2020 You could check at the place in Riberas next to Upscale Resale; They seem to have a 'wall' of samples. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ezzie Posted August 16, 2020 Report Share Posted August 16, 2020 I did a roofing project last year at my house to replacing an old tile roof over the terrazzo. Very similar design to the pic above. I used 4' x 8' x 8mm. Cempanel and screwed it directly onto the steel 1' x 2" purlins that the old tile roof was wired to with countersinking self tapping screws. On my roof the purlins were on a 30 cm. spacing. Bottom line, it didn't work out too well. The Cempanel seems to have a lot of expansion/contraction due to the changes in temperature. Eventually it developed cracks. The fix was to mount the panels with an approx. 1/4" gap and insert a foam bead into the opening. Then caulk with a highly flexible urethane sealer such as Sikaflex. Then apply a white impermabilizante of high quality such as the Fester 12 yr. stuff (not cheap) that has fibers in it for strength, allows for maximum stretch and reflects the sunlight to keep the heat down. Seems to be good so far but I am only about a year into it. If I were doing another roof, I would use a thicker Cempanel - there are both 10 mm. and 12 mm. options available.

tkessler Posted August 19, 2020 Report Share Posted August 19, 2020 I used the 12mm, so far so good. The distributors can be found via the web page: https://www.cempanel.com.mx/planta-guadalajara Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
