Euroclad Elite 4 and 5 are frequently used for schools, and have particular advantages where the acoustic performance is important. Euroclad’s acoustic testing regime has demonstrated that an aluminium standing seam solution provides the lowest incidence of rain noise than any competitor product tested. Furthermore, Euroclad’s Elite 4 unique acoustic absorption construction means that you can swap between acoustic absorption and ‘normal’ roof areas without changing the depth of construction, and significantly reducing flanking noise.
Case Study : Herod Parkway School, Swindon
Euroclad has supplied a striking aluminium Euroseam roof for Herod Parkway School in
Swindon. The replacement of the school building is part of a PFI project involving the
construction of seven new schools in the area.
Over 8000m2 of the standing seam roofing was installed in plain mill aluminium with a
stucco embossed finish on the sports hall. Comprising both straight and tapered sheets,
the specially constructed perforated panels ensure a superior acoustic performance and
an attractive design. Manufactured in a bespoke thickness of 1.2 mm and installed by
Ernest Ward Roofing, the roofing system ensures the building conforms to Part E of the
Building Regulations and Building Bulletin 93 (BB93).
Case Study: South East Essex College Southend
Euroclad produced specialist fabrications to present a unique and elegant finish for
curved stair towers at South East Essex College.
Set in the heart of Southend, a silver bespoke plank system by Euroclad Fabrications
was applied to the curved stair towers, complementing the silver Euroclad panels and
LINEAR façades used.
With around 26,000m2 of space, South East Essex College is a consolidation of four former further education colleges into one state-of-the-art building. The Euroclad Fabrications facility manufactures bespoke, standard and specialist fabrications, flashings and louvres using the latest equipment and a skilled and experienced workforce.
Case Study: Whitstable College
Impressive smooth lines and high durability in a roof from 
Euroclad is the finishing
touch at the new Science, Design and Technology building at The Community College
Whitstable in Kent. The specialist cladding and roofing manufacturer supplied a
rollformed aluminium standing seam roof which was installed by 5M Roofing and
Cladding.
To follow a radius on plan, it was necessary to rollform precision tapered Euroseam
sheets. Euroclad has the capability to roll the narrowest tapered sheets available to
enable extremely competitive construction of this roof style.
Euroseam is typically used in long lengths to roof a full building width, eliminating
any end laps. The risk of water ingression is significantly reduced, as the roof is one
continuous sheet with no joints. To ensure constant accuracy during supply a
computer controlled manufacturing technique is applied.
Bob Jones, the Business & Marketing Executive at The Community College Whitstable
comments, “The overall delivery of the project has been excellent by all of the
contractors concerned and the facility that we now have in school is a state-of-theart
Science, Design and Technology building that will serve many generations of
students to come. With its superb design and facilities the school will act as a
template for other schools.
The college is now an asset to the community and the
district.”
The Community College Whitstable is a co-educational secondary modern school for
students aged between 11 and 18 years of age. The newly built Science, Design and
Technology building houses nine fully equipped state-of-the-art science laboratories
and an additional nine design and technology multimedia workshops. Built on two
storeys and on a footprint of approximately 20,000 square feet, the structure follows
a curved shape that adjoins the existing L-shaped building. The facility was designed
to a high specification with long panels of glass across the front elevation, letting in
an abundance of light to encourage learning and increase motivation. Large
circulation areas allow students to travel from class to class unhindered and a focal
point is provided by a double height void, creating an impression of light and space.
Complying with BBA Certificate Systems, Euroseam tapers allow for the perfect fit
and design flexibility. Euroclad successfully supplied a functional and well-designed
roofing solution for The Community College Whitstable, creating an inspiring place to
learn.
