Ilkley Rugby Football Club in West Yorkshire has a
prestigious new headquarters featuring Meta-Slate®, an
innovative slate-effect metal roofing system from building
products manufacturer Steadmans. |
 |
|
Meta-Slate® incorporates all the benefits and speed of
pre-engineered metal roofing yet offers the appearance of
natural slate. |
|
Steadmans supplied over 2,000 linear metres of Meta-Slate®
finished in a matt slate blue Nova coating for the new £1.8m
community clubhouse. |
|
The system was installed at the
Ilkley site by main contractor Sutcliffe Construction Ltd,
of Hellifield, near Skipton, North Yorkshire. |
|
Sam Allen, construction manager
with the company, said: “We’d used Steadmans products before
and always found them highly satisfactory. It therefore
wasn’t surprising that on this first occasion when we used
Meta-Slate®, we found it did everything we’d expected of it
including being able to withstand the impact of rugby balls
being kicked onto it. |
|
“The system’s outstanding
attribute for me, however, is its aesthetic quality. It
looks absolutely fantastic once fitted.” |
|
Providing a high-quality
alternative to traditional roof finishes, Meta-Slate® can be
installed on a wide range of building applications including
industrial premises, offices, retail outlets, showrooms and
residential properties. |
|
Ideal for both refurbishment and
new build applications, the system is easy for installers to
fit due to its light weight and simple secret fix joint
system. Weighing only 6 kg/m2, the roof panels require less
sub-structure than traditional slates and supports can be up
to one metre apart. |
|
The Meta-Slate® system can be
fitted onto either steel or timber roof structures and
directly over Steadmans AS35 insulated panels for warm roof
applications. |
