Specifiers can also depend on supreme standards of technical support from
Ash & Lacy's dedicated team, plus a complete range of complementary
building products for design and structural integrity. It's the ideal solution for new
build or refurbishment.
See Ashzip in action on these pages and discover why this system takes standing
seam roof installation to a new level of efficiency and architectural impact.
to perform
Elmhurst Ballet School demonstrates the versatility of an Ash & LacyAshzip standing seam roof. The Alaska grey finish of the 0.9mmaluminium standing seam panels provides a striking contrast to thetraditional brickwork employed on the rest of the 5 acre site in Edgbaston.The separate complex blocks boast different combinations of straight andtapered Ashzip sheets, with a 'crescent' shaped roof providing thecentrepiece, with overhangs to offer shelter to side stairwells. With 'movement' as the design inspiration, the Ashzip system and integralAshgrid spacer support system, were central to providing the flexibility toachieve the desired aesthetics and high performance required.

Spectrum
With a wide range of colours and finishes available in aluminium, stainless steel and copper, an
Ashzip roof can harmonise or provide dynamic contrast with virtually any design of building or
materials. The precision ribbed appearance emphasises contours and creates an
unmistakeably contemporary effect.
Curves
True freedom comes in Ashzip's ability to curve and flow in almost any architectural formation.
Curves can be convex or concave (or wave formed by combining both in one profile sheet).
Sheets can self-curve with tighter radii that can be mechanically smooth curved at the factory
or on site.
Tapering
Radial roofs are where the Ashzip concept comes into its own. Taper roll forming is perfect for
creating roofs with an uncompromisingly modern profile. The expertise and computer modelling
capabilities of Ash & Lacy's technical department means even the most complex geometries
are achievable.

Weatherproofing
Ashzip is normally produced and installed as a single unbroken sheet length and with no
penetrative fixings it is virtually impervious to leakage. The seams are closed using a zipping
machine which runs up the rib and creates a weatherproof joint with no need for sealant. This
means a virtually maintenance free, totally watertight roof.
Insulation
Ashzip's unique full height halter bracket provides a faster and more flexible system for
achieving a continual insulation of the desired thickness with U-values ranging from 0.25 to 0.16
W/m2K and higher.
Acoustics
For buildings with special acoustic requirements such as sports and leisure halls, theatres or
industrial facilities, Ash & Lacy can provide the specialised expertise and laboratory tested
systems to control the acoustics through perforation whilst still maintaining structural integrity,
air-tightness, vapour and condensation control.
The new Sports Hall at St Bede's School in Cambridge, is topped with over 1,144m2 of Ashzip in a bright metallicsilver. The Ashzip was supplied in 35m lengths which were rolled and curved onsite using Ash & Lacy's mobile roll-forming and curving technology. The standing seamroof system at St Bede's School is an example of theAshzip 400 profile, specified with full-height halters(245mm) on 'top hats' with the halters above the acoustic quilt. The use of the halters as well as aperforated structural deck has enabled the acousticrequirements of the sports hall to be met.

Conception
Ash & Lacy's highly qualified technical personnel can assist with every aspect of the process
from initial conception to final completion. Our specialised design teams are equipped with the
know-how and 3D modelling software to find solutions to even the most technically complex or
architecturally inspired constructions. Think of them as project partners.
Compliance
Achieving compliance with the new Building Regulations and Standards involves a combination
of the right products and correct design. We can provide both to ensure correct standards in
areas such as insulation, acoustics, load carrying, wind uplift, condensation and airtightness.
Construction
On-site surveys and experienced personnel for the on-site rollforming service ensuring that the
construction process runs as smoothly as possible. A national network of locally based
specification personnel means rapid advice and assistance on-site is only a phone call away.

The new focal point in the development of Coca ColaChampionship team Coventry City FC. The Alan HiggsCentre - an £8 million project funded by the Higgs Charity -is a multi-purpose development on a 125 hectare site. Ash & Lacy supplied over 5,000 square metres of Ashzip400. The self-curved roof, featuring the Ashgrid spacersupport system, was manufactured on site at eaves level,with sheets produced at lengths of up to 40 metres usingAsh & Lacy's own mobile manufacturing unit.

Rollforming
Ash & Lacy offer national and international coverage for onsite installation of Ashzip utilising our
own mobile rollforming units. Alternatively sheets can be produced at our factory for transport
by road. We can advise on the most appropriate method.
Flexibility
Ash & Lacy boast proven efficiency with on-site rollforming from our mobile rollformers. Sheets
can be rolled to long continuous unbroken lengths directly onto the roof at eaves or ground level.
On-site roll-curving enables the most impressive flowing roof lines.
Refurbishment
Ashzip combined with the innovative Ashjack structural frame system is the perfect solution for
flat roof problems. The existing new Ashjack subframe is installed over the top. Any number of
designs are feasible which, combined with the standing seam roof, can transform the
aesthetics of older buildings whilst providing a permanent watertight solution.

The new state of the art Celtic FC Training Academy inLennoxtown, Scotland, features 4000m2 of Ashzip instandard mill finish Aluminium. All panels were rolled on site, approximately 56m from ridge to eaves,producing a standing seam roof with no penetrations,maximising efficiency and longevity of the development.The 50 acre site with Lennox Castle as its backdrop,forms the new landmark for Celtic FC, as a multi-millionpound world-class training facility and sports academyand the base for Celtic's complete footballing operations.

Monitoring
Environmental issues are moving to the heart of all our activities and we continually monitor our
performance in achieving sustainable development. Our nationwide network of comprehensive
stockholding centres means shorter delivery journeys, and of course the excellent thermal
performance of products like Ashzip results in buildings with a reduced carbon footprint.
Recycling
Ashzip materials are procured from recyclable sources and therefore a fully recyclable system
at the end of the building life. There is a growing emphasis on aluminium in our core products
which, after water, is the most recycled material on the planet.
Innovating
Ash & Lacy have been pioneering ecological projects utilising the properties of Ashzip. A leading
example is Adnams Brewery Distribution Centre in Southwold - perhaps the most important
environmentally sustainable warehouse in the UK. Its 6,000 square metre green roof was in
conjunction with vapour permeable blocks on the walls.
Ash & Lacy are fully committed to the ‘Bisnes’ philosophy through the
regulation and revision of company policies such as company cars, waste
management and regular updates to the company environmental policy.
