Project: Copper Cladding to New Build Redevelopment, Central London

Material: Lindab GreenCoat PLX

Colour: Copper Metallic

Rainwater: Lindab Guttering in Copper Metallic colour

Through a trusted London metal roofing contractor, The Metal Roof Company was approached in 2017 to supply a range of copper style samples for architect and developer consideration.  The material initially specified for these luxury apartments was copper cladding in a shingle flat lock tile. At the time, copper cladding was hitting an all-time high on the LME (London Metal Exchange) and, even for these Luxury properties, the use of copper cladding would have pushed the build costs and sales values to unrealistic levels.

Lindab GreenCoat PLX was chosen as a copper roofing alternative. This material is often used in place of standing seam, especially because of its long-lasting, Eco-friendly and financial benefits.

All apartments were sold and the use of Lindab GreenCoat PLX ensures this building is a landmark development.

Project: Redevelopment of Church and surrounding land, Central London

Material: GreenCoat PLX, Copper cladding appearance

Colour: Copper Metallic

Rainwater: N/A

Copper roofing and cladding are always popular for projects in central London, and this development was no different. Situated on the site of a local parish Church, developers HOC construction rebuilt the Church using Copper roof sheets and finished the apartments in GreenCoat PLX with a Metallic Copper finish. the material was supplied by The Metal Roof Company.

Aged Verdigris Copper colour sheets completed the appearance and gave a contrast with the Copper metallic.

 

“The savings in using GreenCoat PLX copper colour for such a large development was huge. The project looks very striking and sits beautifully in the London sunshine.  We would have no hesitation in using this standing seam material again.”

Project: 78 New Build Apartments 

Material: GreenCoat PLX Copper Metallic Cladding

Colour: Copper Brown RAL 8003

Rainwater: N/a

Pure Copper is an ideal material for standing seam metal roofing or cladding. It is easy to fold, can be soldered and it comes in a variety of finishes from natural bright Copper through to Verdigris aged green.

If there are negatives, they are the high purchase cost of the material and the theft risk during installation.  This is where GreenCoat PLX is an ideal material for such large projects. Hence, when the developers of this large housing scheme conducted a cost benefit analysis, the case for PLX Bronze tone copper cladding was secured.

This project comprised standing seam panels at 430mm seam centres.  Panels were formed on site by the expert metal roof installers using techniques similar to those of natural copper.

Copper House, Scotland

Our Involvement

Project: New Build house with standing seam copper-look roof, Scotland

Material: Lindab Seamline in GreenCoat PLX, Copper Metallic

Colour: Copper, Cladding

Rainwater: Matching Lindab Guttering and downpipes

This Rural house near Inverness, Scotland, was initially specified in natural Copper standing seam.

The Scottish metal roof contractor proposed Lindab Seamline PLX Copper finish, a colour that was immediately adopted by both client and architect. This finish offered a long-lasting material that had a stable and attractive copper style finish. This meant that the metal roof would stay the same over the years, without any unexpected colour changes. Natural Copper is not only expensive, but its unknown reaction to the atmosphere also means that the colour change can often be unpredictable.

Matching Lindab Copper rainwater gutters and downpipes completed the scheme.

Project: New Build Luxury Apartments, West London

Material: GreenCoat PLX

Colour: Copper Cladding reference 778

Rainwater: Matching Guttering and downpipes

Sitting on a bend in the river Thames and overlooking Kew gardens, this new-build block of luxury apartments required its own distinctive appearance in order to make a statement.

Natural Copper cladding was initially suggested by the developers, but at the time of construction, Copper prices were at an all-time high. Theft risk during construction, ripple on the Copper sheets after installation, and the high purchase price meant other metal solutions were needed.

GreenCoat PLX in metallic copper colour solved the problem. The material warranty and its flat copper-like appearance meant that considerable savings were made on the cladding.

Furthermore, since PLX used similar installation to natural copper, the build-up did not need to be changed or redesigned by the developers.
