Cost effective solutions are Euroclad’s forte, and most industrial projects require highly cost effective solutions. Elite 1 and Elite 51 are the mainstay of this sector, and a variety of materials are also available where cost is the primary driver.
Case Study: Moly Millars Lane
Fine art handling company Cadogan Tate has just moved its Worldwide Moving
division into a new building, designed by architects Michael Sparks Associates and
bult by Lodge Construction from a metal envelope system manufactured and
supplied by Euroclad. For Cadogan House in Wokingham, Euroclad supplied a
complete metal building envelope from one of its new Elite Systems.
Cadogan House is just one new warehouse addition to the thriving Molly Millars Lane
business area. Occupier Cadogan Tate is an international fine art logistics and
moving company and total integrity of the building envelope is essential for their
operations – a single item in their care can be worth millions.
Euroclad provided the entire building envelope for the warehouse using Elite Systems – a range of fully engineered high quality roofing and cladding systems. Trapezoidal profile sheets in a range of Celestia colours from Corus were specified for the roof and walls and installed both horizontally and vertically. Elite Systems offer infinite design flexibility, have certified performance, and can only be installed by specialist contractors approved by Euroclad. The systems with a non-combustible cores*, offer outstanding acoustic performance and are fully demountable and recyclable. Elite Systems are simply repaired and modified, and easy to transport.

Case Study: Knorr-Bremse Rail Systems
Euroclad Ltd, has supplied products for an entire building envelope for Knorr-Bremse Rail Systems’ new building based in Melksham, Wiltshire. The exterior is covered entirely in Euroclad products, including the roof, flashings, panels and special bullnose pieces:
The result is an effective and aesthetically pleasing appearance for a simple design and build project.
Around 7000m2 of Euroclad’s Euroseam® in a Stucco embossed self-curve aluminium standing seam roof, constructed to comply with Building Regulations and Standards parts L2 was specified for the project. The natural aluminium finish forms its own self-repairing protective oxide layer, which provides natural protection to the roof and a long service life.
Euroclad control the complete manufacturing process of the roofing and cladding, which includes rolling forming the roof sheet on site. This is achieved through the use of a mobile roll former, which is self-contained and drives on and off site.Employing the Euroclad mobile roll former overcomes problems such as limited access and storage space, high transport costs and potential damage to products during transit and allows for a more efficient process of installing roofs.
Euroclad fabricated special large section bullnose eaves, in 0.7mm steel combined with flashings and a range of visually pleasing details on the façades. Europanel (Manufactured by Eurobond) in a HPS 200 finish has been installed on the front elevation and a Euroclad32/1000 profile also in a HPS 200 finish was installed to the sides and rear of the building.
David Hodgson of TKL Architects, who was involved in the project, said: “Euroclad was specified because it provides quality that also beat competitors on price. They can supply cladding and roofing products for a full building envelope, both in terms of technical elements and aesthetic aspects of the project.” He added, “I would certainly not hesitate in specifying Euroclad products in future projects because they have everything in place to provide a quality product and an effective service.”
Euroclad also provided full thermal calculations for the building, which conforms to BS 10211 parts 1 and 2.
