The AspirePanel wall panels and AspireSpan roof panels are lightweight, thermally efficient wall and roof panels manufactured in New Zealand.

The panels have a polyisocyanurate (PIR) core sandwiched between 0.59 mm layers of galvanised and/or Zincalume steel and with a factory applied Colorsteel finish.

The colorsteel finish will depend on the specific exposure zone and use. The panels are supplied in 1,000 mm width, custom lengths and in thicknesses (mm) of 50, 75, 100 & 150. The thickness determines thermal performance and span capability.

The panels are supplied with a tongue and groove joint and a lapped corrugation on both edges. The facings are available in the following profiles: Flat smooth profile, Silkline, Mesa and Ribbed indented.
