The Douglas Fir cladding was

forested and prepared just

seven miles from site.

Externally, 456 solar PV

panels were installed on

adjacent buildings providing

7% of the Park’s electrical

needs.

The design brief also called for

exceptional attention to detail.

To create the ceiling’s clean

internal visual styling, a

secondary support grid and

liner was installed underneath

the standard roofing structure

to create the superb effect we

see today.

Both the customer and the

main contractor are extremely

pleased with the completed

building.

Keith Ashley, of main

contractor KnightwoodDevel-

opments, said of the project:

“May I take this opportunity to

say that we were extremely

pleased with the roof

installation at Paultons Park.

The products were manufac-

tured and installed to a great

standard and the supply chain

worked together efficiently,

particularly the onsite rolling

team from Euroclad and Curtis

Engineering's specialist

installers. The internal and

external finish of the

installation looks great;

matched only by the excep-

tionally high thermal perfor-

mance of the roof system.”

The opening of the highly

popular Peppa Pig World at

Paulton’s Family Park in

Romsey has become so

successful that EuroClad have

now supplied over 3000m2 of

Elite 4 standing seam roofing

for a new Gateway building.

Ower based architects, HPW

set about creating the

Gateway building to form the

principle entrance as part of

the phased master plan for

the 54-acre park.

A high quality, low carbon

environment was important in

a venue welcoming over 1

million guests who visit each

year.

The 10,000ft2 building

houses bright and colourful

retail space including The Big

Toy Shop and the Wildwoods

restaurant in a family friendly

environment.

As part of HPW and the

client’s ecological philoso-

phies, sustainability reviews

and detailed whole life costs

were forefront in the design

concept involving extensive

dynamic thermal modelling.

The resultant solutions

included 2m x 19m double

wave glulam ribbon trusses,

hybrid timber and steel

structures supporting a super

insulted EuroClad standing

seam roofing system, natural

ventilation and illumination

strategies.

In line with ecological targets,

24 sun pipes provide natural

light to the interior valley area,

barrel vault rooflights at the

ridges and 17 wind catchers

form an automatic ventilation

system. The building is lit

throughout with LED lighting.

About EuroClad’s Elite Plus 4 standing seam roof and wall system.

Product information:

Elite standing seam system is designed as a “zipped construction over supporting halters. The

system is designed to free movement under thermal expansion, creating no stress on the seams.

The outer sheet joint system is also designed to “breathes”, removing the need for a breather

membrane or building paper.

Water penetration:

Having no external penetrations, the Elite Plus 4 system has exceptional weather performance

Acoustic performance:

Our typical twin skin standing seam roof with a 0.7mm liner, insulation to achieve 0.25 U value and 0.9mm aluminium standing seam

will give a sound reduction of 44.2dB. If part of your design brief is to reduce noise by a value greater than 44.2dB, then this can be

achieved by simply adding mass to the construction. Up to 50dB is achievable.

Our involvement:

The Gateway Building uses 3000m2 of EuroClad’s Elite 4.12 Euroseam standing seam aluminium roofing in a slightly thicker gauge of

1.2mm to cope flawlessly with the concave and convex radii of 9m.

Designed to meet the high levels of thermal insulation of 0.12 W/m2K, (thermally modelled to BS EN 10211/1 & 2) using 420mm of

non-combustible mineral wool thermal insulation. The internal finish was supplemented with an additional liner to meet the

meticulous aesthetic requirements.

The roof is also inherently quiet with at least 43dB of sound reduction.
