Holiday Village Clubhouse Gets a New Coat of Metrotile Steel
Metrotile Lightweight Steel Roofing systems have been used to spruce up a Devon holiday village clubhouse, improving the aesthetics and security while blending in with the surrounding environment.
Croyde Bay Holiday Village on the beautiful North Devon coast is owned by Trade Union Unison. The village comprises chalets, a restaurant and sports facilities including a gym. Many of the leisure facilities are inside the Unison Clubhouse, which was roofed in corrugated tin – an old material ill-suited to a focal building. The clubhouse and surrounding accommodation had served the holidaymakers for many years and were in desperate need of a refresh.
Unison hired Chartered Surveyor Andrew Mills to advise on the refurbishment. When comparing various products to find the most suitable replacement for the clubhouse, he was looking for something that would give protection against weather and vandalism but also be light enough not to damage the structure of the old buildings.
This resulted in Metrotile Lightweight Steel Roofing Systems being specified. Mr Mills explained: “We have used Metrotile roofing on a number of commercial and residential projects, existing buildings and new build, the metal slates and tiles offer a number of useful alternatives when compared with traditional roofing materials, and look excellent when complete.” He praised the technical back up provided by Metrotile staff with advice to the roofing contractors GRC on site.
Metrotile’s lightweight design enables a quick installation. The aged corrugated tin was removed and more than 2000 Charcoal Metrotile Slate .900 profiles fitted to the holiday village’s central buildings, improving security. At the gable ends, the Slate was complemented with Metrotile Shingle, gracing the clubhouse and chalets with an aesthetic equal to traditional products while giving the buildings unsurpassed rooftop protection.
