Case Studies

Dragon Lesuire Centre

The Dragon Leisure Centre incorporates the first indoor tennis courts to be built in Cornwall and boasts the widest range of activities in the county.  The original roof, which featured a duopitch roof incorporating cranked curved eaves, a barrel vault ridge with a cranked curved sheet, was stripped and re-clad using Euroclad's Elite System 1.25 in Corus Colourcoat HPS200^®. The cladding was specified in a combination of colours including moorland green and olive green.  The combination of colours with the specialist curved eaves and 2 metre high ridge detail retained the original impression of a tennis net. Speaking about the project, Alan Roberts, Senior Technician at Mitchell Architects Ltd said 'Building materials have evolved significantly over the years making it easier to find suitable products for almost any design. The client had very specific ideas for this project and it was important to use a material that met all the clients needs, looked eye catching and offered excellent longevity.'

Bulmers Plant, Clonmel

Irish Minister for the Environment, Heritage and Local Government, John Gormley TD, was recently presented with details on the environmental benefits of one of the world's first CarbonNeutral building envelopes, which has been supplied by Euroclad at the new Bulmers plant in Clonmel, Ireland.  Euroclad systems were chosen for the roof and walls, as well as the internal firewalls as they met both Bulmers' and John M Allen Architects' requirements, supplying a non-combustible, complete building envelope solution that provides cradle to grave carbon neutrality.  Euroclad's systems using Corus Colorcoat® pre-finished steel are assessed and approved under the Confidex Sustain® system, which enables building envelopes supplied by Euroclad to offer carbon neutrality through socially responsible carbon offsetting schemes.

Next Distrubution, Avonmouth

The large roof of the Next distribution centre in Avonmouth was supplied in Euroclad profiled roofing.  The functional pitched roof cuts a dashing figure against the flat landscape on the outskirts of Bristol.  Using pre-finished steel the profiled roof channels water efficiently, provides a durable watertight roof, good acoustic performance and excellent thermal performance.  Euroclad profiled roof systems fully comply with Building regulations and due to their 'built-up' construction can be adapted to exceed regulatory requirements and satisfy meticulous project specifications.
