Britain's best source of building product information

Installed as part of a modern language centre and music block extension at the Forres Academy School in North East England is an Ashzip standing seam roofing system. Considering that the extension includes a music block, the product's inherent acoustic performance was important. It can be enhanced with the use of a perforated liner sheet used in conjunction with an absorptive insulation layer to control reverberation and reduce unwanted sound. The company offers a total roof envelope solution from a single source. This recognises that performance is compromised unless components such as gutters and perimeter details are not to the same standard as the roofing.

Utilising compuer aided design, the company achieved accurate geometric layouts.
