Case Studies

Queen Elizabeth School - Educational

The suitability of Euroclad's standing seam roofsystems for use on Educational buildings has once again received heavy endorsement, with the specification of Euroseam on the new Queen Elizabeth High School in Camarthen. The new school and leisure centre complex features 5000m2 of Euroclad's standing seam profile, installed over non-combustible insulation as part of an established, high performance roofing system. The buildings not only look great, with sweeping convex curved roofs and rollformed tapers, they also perform to the highest of standards, offering outstanding acoustic performance, truly non-combustible materials and, in the case of the new swimming pool, vapour control.

Swansea SA1 Development - Domestic

Standing seam from Euroclad demonstrates its flexibility in design, application and building use.  Traditionally metal standing seam roofing has been the preserve of industrial or commercial buildings that require high performance and an attractive finish.  The residential development in Swansea's marina known as Swansea Point has proved that a standing seam roof system can be the perfect solution for any building type.  20,000m² of Euroseam were installed as a series of individual roofs in plain mill stucco embossed aluminium.  The proximity of the sea makes aluminium standing seam an ideal solution: aluminium forms its own protective layer which combats the corrosive effects of maritime winds and sheets are produced in continuous lengths with a 'clip and zip' fixing which eliminates penetrations to the building envelope.

Gloucester Police HQ

Dynamic curves in a single span roof are a vital part of a stunning building of the Gloucestershire Constabulary County Police Headquarters. Taking the shape of an ellipse, the Euroseam standing seam roof spans around 8,500m2 of floor space.
Finished in Moorland Green, the roof is part of a building designed to present a dynamic and inspiring appearance for 400 members of staff at the Quedgeley based headquarters. An area planted as a 'green roof' contrasts with the smooth, precise lines of self curved aluminium. Controlling the complete manufacturing process, we rolled the sheets on site, including single lengths of over 120 metres.

Pontypool College

Constructed from Euroseam standing seam roof system, the roof follows a spectacular sweeping curve around glue laminate beams down to the ground to create an extended barrel vault with dramatic effect. Being non-combustible, Euroclad's design solutions are insurer friendly, as well as offering wide design freedom, and being environmentally friendly and recyclable. Bespoke fabricated flashings, curved barges and downpipeswere all specified to eliminate water ingress.
Coleg Gwent is the biggest Further Education College in Wales accommodating 37,000 students spread over six campuses. As part of a programme of improvements, over £1 million has been spent in the construction of a new two-storey building at the Pontypool Campus to accommodate a learning resource centre.

K2 Lesuire Centre

The design demanded several different standing seam roofs,of both convex and concave waveform curves of varying radii.K2 houses many facilities including an Olympic size 50mswimming pool, a 12m high climbing rock, squash and badminton courts, indoor bowls rinks, and a large multipurpose sports hall. The high specification building was constructed by main contractor Gleeson with roofing contractor S D Samuels. For the sports hall, a fully tested standingseam  system was chosen in order to meet specific acoustic requirements. While the roof of the swimming pool employs the same plain mill aluminium as the sports hall, the sheets feature a smooth pre-curved ridge.
