Owl Barn, Oxfordshire

Project: Owl Barn, Oxfordshire

Material: SSAB GreenCoat PLX Pural BT

Colour: Dark Grey Grey With Matching Lindab Gutters & Downpipes

The refurbishment of Owl Barn in Oxfordshire, a class Q barn conversion, showcases the seamless integration of modern materials with traditional architecture. The Metal Roof Company supplied SSAB GreenCoat® PLX in a Zinc-silver finish for the standing seam roofing, achieving a crisp, flat finish that harmonizes beautifully with the pre-weathered Larch cladding. This combination not only enhances the barn’s aesthetic but also supports its structural integrity with eco-friendly features, including a hidden gutter system and matching steel gutters and downpipes to ensure a cohesive look.

DuCroz architects led the design, selecting materials that respect the barn’s heritage while introducing modern efficiencies. The use of SSAB GreenCoat steel sheeting is particularly notable for its environmental benefits, such as clean, potable water runoff, which is ideal for the property’s wildflower meadow-style garden. The transformation of Owl Barn stands as a testament to thoughtful architectural restoration and sustainable building practices. Thanks to DuCroz architects for their collaboration and trust in The Metal Roof Company to supply key roofing and rainwater solutions.
