An apology to Cooper roofing

In Scope issue 40 we published an article on the Chrysalis Childcare Centre and omitted any reference to Cooper Roofing who were contacted to supply and fix the Dimond Rib 50 cladding.

The design of the building is unique and the continuous curve to the building proved to be a complex challenge as each of the junctions, between black panels, had to allow for thermal expansion to avoid buckling. The building also slopes from the high points of the crescent centre to the lowest point, closest to the ground, so each panel had to be ordered and tailor made to fit. Likewise the flashings were each unique and gave an excellent finish to the building.

“ We were excited about the challenges the project posed and took considerable time to calculate the time and materials required” says Penny Alexander. “Cooper Roofing collaborated with the builder and architect to ensure the flashing and cladding design followed the design intent. The project is one we are very proud of as it did not fit the usual cladding specifications and our team, Wayne Holland and Richard Alexander, led by our skilled and experience supervisor Kevin Peri, did an amazing job.”
