Case Study: Children’s Hospital for Wales, Cardiff
Euroseam roofing from Euroclad is one of the stylish and shapely
components featured in the specialist metal building envelope finishing the
new Children’s Hospital for Wales.
The standing seam roof completes the phase one development of the hospital
in Cardiff, combining an aesthetic appearance with an exceptional level of
performance. Constructed from plain mill aluminium with a stucco-embossed
finish, 500m2 of low pitch Euroseam was installed, providing excellent
drainage whilst contributing to the innovative design of the building.
Euroseam standing seam roofs offer great design flexibility and work on the
principle of ‘zipping up’ side laps which are then closed over supporting
halters. This ensures the roof has unrivalled weatherability and durability as
there are no external penetrations. Euroclad combined the latest CAD
technology with a dedicated team of technical advisors to provide a
comprehensive technical service.
The hospital, the first ever in Wales to be built solely for children, is located
on a greenfield site adjacent to existing facilities at the University Hospital of
Wales. Officially opened by Hollywood couple Catherine Zeta Jones and
Michael Douglas, phase one of the project includes two 25 bed medical
wards, a paediatric cancer ward and an oncology outpatients unit.
