for design and structural integrity. It's the ideal solution for new build or refurbishment.

to perform

A 35 bedroom retirement home for the Order of the Sisters of Mercy nunsin Castlebar Co. Mayo was constructed using 4,000m2 of Ashzip,supplied through Ash & Lacy's Irish distributor Laydex Roofing Division.The home, which offers the nuns an independent living space, featurestapered Ashzip sheets in a standard 0.9mm embossed aluminium finish.The specified circular roof added complexity to the project, as everysheet required individual tapering to produce the spectacular “doughnut”shape. The building was designed by Taylor Architects, Castlebar, andthe roofing package was installed by Top-Level Roofing & CladdingContractors, Charlestown, Co. Mayo, approved Ashzip installers

Spectrum

With a wide range of colours and finishes available in aluminium, stainless steel and copper, an

Ashzip roof can harmonise or provide dynamic contrast with virtually any design of building or

materials. The precision ribbed appearance emphasises contours and creates an

unmistakeably contemporary effect.

Curves

True freedom comes in Ashzip's ability to curve and flow in almost any architectural formation.

Curves can be convex or concave (or wave formed by combining both in one profile sheet).

Sheets can self-curve with tighter radii that can be mechanically smooth curved at the factory

or on site.

Tapering

Radial roofs are where the Ashzip concept comes into its own. Taper roll forming is perfect for

creating roofs with an uncompromisingly modern profile. The expertise and computer modelling

capabilities of Ash & Lacy's technical department means even the most complex geometries

are achievable.

The Dollar Academy in Clackmannanshire boasts 2500m2

tapered Ashzip, along with Ashfab fabrications and anAshflow rainwater management system. This projectillustrates how Ashzip can be curved and tapered to meetspecific roof designs. This development also requiredbespoke curved gutters and facetted soffits, enhancing the total roofing envelope package solution offered by Ash & Lacy Building Systems.

Weatherproofing

Ashzip is normally produced and installed as a single unbroken sheet length and with no

penetrative fixings it is virtually impervious to leakage. The seams are closed using a zipping

machine which runs up the rib and creates a weatherproof joint with no need for sealant. This

means a virtually maintenance free, totally watertight roof.

Insulation

Ashzip's unique full height halter bracket provides a faster and more flexible system for

achieving a continual insulation of the desired thickness with U-values ranging from 0.25 to 0.16

W/m2K and higher.

Acoustics

For buildings with special acoustic requirements such as sports and leisure halls, theatres or

industrial facilities, Ash & Lacy can provide the specialised expertise and laboratory tested

systems to control the acoustics through perforation whilst still maintaining structural integrity,

air-tightness, vapour and condensation control.

Compliance

Achieving compliance with the new Building Regulations and Standards involves a combination

of the right products and correct design. We can provide both to ensure correct standards in

areas such as insulation, acoustics, load carrying, wind uplift, condensation and airtightness.

Construction

onsite surveys and experienced personnel for the onsite rollforming service ensuring that the

construction process runs as smoothly as possible. A national network of locally based

Inzeivar Primary school was one of 9 primary schoolsconstructed in Fife as part of Fife Council's £63m FifeSchools PPP 'Expanding Horizons New CommunitySchools' initiative. Ash & Lacy supplied 4,800m2 Ashzipstanding seam roofing for the project, to provide aweather-resistant and aesthetically pleasing finish. The Ashzip covered sections of the building gravitatedoutwards from a central circular focal point, giving theschool a striking appearance. Ash & Lacy also providedAshzip standing seam for 6 of the other schools in the project.

Rollforming

Ash & Lacy offer national and international coverage for onsite installation of Ashzip utilising our

own mobile rollforming units. Alternatively sheets can be produced at our factory for transport

by road. We can advise on the most appropriate method.

Flexibility

Ash & Lacy boast proven efficiency with onsite rollforming from our mobile rollformers. Sheets

can be rolled to long continuous unbroken lengths directly onto the roof at eaves or ground level.

onsite roll-curving enables the most impressive flowing roof lines.

Refurbishment

Ashzip combined with the innovative Ashjack structural frame system is the perfect solution for

flat roof problems. The existing new Ashjack subframe is installed over the top. Any number of

designs are feasible which, combined with the standing seam roof, can transform the aesthetics

of older buildings whilst providing a permanent watertight solution.

Monitoring

Environmental issues are moving to the heart of all our activities and we continually monitor our

performance in achieving sustainable development. Our nationwide network of comprehensive

stockholding centres means shorter delivery journeys, and of course the excellent thermal

performance of products like Ashzip results in buildings with a reduced carbon footprint.

Recycling

Ashzip materials are procured from recyclable sources and therefore a fully recyclable system

at the end of the building life. There is a growing emphasis on aluminium in our core products

which, after water, is the most recycled material on the planet.

Innovating

Ash & Lacy have been pioneering ecological projects utilising the properties of Ashzip. A leading

example is Adnams Brewery Distribution Centre in Southwold – perhaps the most important

environmentally sustainable warehouse in the UK. Its 6,000 square metre green roof was in

conjunction with vapour permeable blocks on the walls.

Ash & Lacy are fully committed to the ‘Bisnes’ philosophy through the

regulation and revision of company policies such as company cars, waste

management and regular updates to the company environmental policy.
