Case Studies

Dartford Prologis

Designed by RPS Burks Green, the distribution centre will be spread over three buildings covering approximately 65,000m².  SF500 system was used to roof all three buildings, manufactured from Corus Colorcoat HPS200^® pre-finished steel in Wedgewood Blue. Trapezoidal and half-round profiles were chosen to clad the walls because of their contemporary appearance and excellent performance. "A lot of hard work and preparation has culminated in the award of this project and we are delighted that we can demonstrate our technical expertise, design and manufacturing capabilities on such a grand scale." SF500 sheet lengths of more than 80 metres long were installed on a Euro Bar extra spacer system, to achieve a 0.25 U value BBA certified metal roof construction.

Logix Park, Hinckley

Secret fix roofing from Euroclad ensured superb performance and a cost effective solution at a warehouse and distribution facility at Logix Park, Hinckley, West Leicestershire.  Over 35,000m2 of the Secret fix system was installed at the new warehouse by contractors Hathaway Roofing. Manufactured in Corus Colorcoat HPS200® pre-finished steel, the system provides excellent drainage and weatherability as the absence of end laps or external penetrations eliminates potential leaks.  Curved to a 50m radius, the Goosewing Grey roof ensures a stylish, aesthetically pleasing finish.  Aluminium standing seam roofing was originally proposed to accommodate the curved radius of the roof.  Euroclad Secret fix roofing was chosen instead as it could save costs for the developer without compromising on quality and system performance.

Forest Holiday Parks, Liskard & Scotland

At the picturesque Deerpark near Liskeard in Cornwall, Forest Holidays have erected a large number of holiday chalets. From the start these chalets had to be sympathetic to the surrounding countryside yet comply with modern standards in terms of performance and appearance. This site is both a World Heritage site, as wells as a site of Specific Scienntific Interest.

Architects, Terence O'Rouke were responsible for creating the dwellings for the client, the recreational side of the Forestry Commision.The brief stipulated that the buildings had to be inconspicuous whilst at the same time reflecting a modern approach to this type of property. The same design has been used for two other sites belonging to the company in North Yorkshire and Perthshire.

Sheffield Ice Arena

A £16M major development built to world class standards, The International Centre of Excellence [ICE] in Sheffield houses two Olympic-size ice skating rinks and a multitude of first class facilities.  The complex's crowning glory, a 6,000m² roof with dramatic curves in the main slopes, had to meet demanding performance requirements as the centre is located in an area at risk of severe weather.

SF500 Secret Fix steel roof system, which features hidden mechanical fixings was the ideal solution as it is able to withstand very high wind loads while maintaining overall weather tightness.
