HAMBLESIDE DANELAW recently collaborated with refurbishment specialist, Weatherproofing Advisors, to provide Zenon GRP rooflights at Smurfitt Kappa in Norwich.
The strip and re-sheet resulted in a revitalised roof enhancing the operational reliability and safety standards of the global corrugated sheet board supplier. The Norwich hub of Smurfitt Kappa is a significant cog in its UK operations, operating 24 hours a day, seven days a week. It was imperative that the location could continue operating during the roofing refurbishment.
As a result of a comprehensive condition report, the 11,500 m² roof was found to be beyond its service life. Weatherproofing Advisors, specialists in the maintenance and refurbishment of roofing and cladding, regionally and nationally, were involved from an early stage in the process due to their well- earned reputation for providing unparalleled levels of service.
The primary scope of works was to remove the existing roof and replace with a new, metal built-up system incorporating GRP rooflights.
A triple-skin assembly with a weather sheet of Zenon Evolution LC1 was installed. Zenon Evolution LC1 is a thinner, lighter product with strength exceeding the requirements of industry standard non fragility testing.
The product’s lower resin to glass ratio reduces the embodied carbon content when compared to traditionally reinforced products with similar performance.
Ben Orton, Service Centre Manager at Weatherproofing Advisors’ London office, said:
“The excellent service levels along with a quality product are the reasons that Hambleside Danelaw continue to be a trusted member of our supply chain”
