Rigidal at the YMCA
Rigidal's Ziplok standing seam profile in a granite ARS finish has been used to stunning effect on Horsham's new landmark YMCA building.
The Ziplok sheets, mostly 14m long, were rolled in the factory then smooth curved and crimped on site, using Rigidal's dedicated equipment.
The valley gutters and supports, together with the bullnose fascias in powder coated aluminium, were then all templated on site to ensure a perfect finish to the striking roof structure.
Top sheets were supported on Rigidal's Corogid bar and bracket system, which allows the halter pitch to be varied to cope with the tight radii, on top of a 20/100/1000 fully sealed liner sheet.
The system also included acoustic insulation to mitigate against the aircraft noise from nearby Eastleigh Airport.
Roofing contractors for the project were Southern Industrial Roofing for main contractors Dean and Dyball.
Architects were Sherlock Boswell of Southampton.
Rigidal Ziplok is a BBA approved, advanced zip-up standing seam system that offers exceptional weather resistance and durability.
The unique halter design complements the design of the liner (20/100/1000) in a way which leaves almost no possibility of error in setting out the roof and so allows for fast and trouble free laying of the profiles.
Combined with the ability to curve the profiles on site and availability in either aluminium or steel, this gives Rigidal Ziplok a competitive edge in any standing seam application.
