A building panel element
A building panel for a roof wherein part of the panel is heatable to seal the panel to an adjacent panel. The panel may comprise an extension portion 21 which overlaps part of an adjacent panel to seal the gap between them. The extension portion may be a polymeric flexible membrane or it may be a rigid and metallic. The panel may comprise a heat activated sealing element 23, 24 comprising an adhesive, a polymeric, an acrylic or an epoxy material. The sealing element may be engagable with an adjacent panel to seal them together. The sealing element may be engaged with the extension portion. The panel may comprise an electrical conductor (31, Fig. 7) adjacent or embedded within the sealing element to heat it. Preferably, the panel is a composite insulating panel with a metallic material either side of a foam centre. Also claimed is a method for sealing two panels together that comprises heating part of the panels. This may be to heat-seal, weld or fuse the panels together, preferably in-situ on a construction site.
