A cost-effective alternative to traditional roofing systems, Vieo systems can be applied to roofs and walls. Vieo systems are designed for application on a range of buildings and offer enhanced thermal and acoustic performance with the Vieo warm system which consists of RocSlab insulation.
Specialist installers PB Cook Roofing installed 8000m² of Vieo cladding, giving the roof an exceptional U-value of just 0.13W/m2K, with a 0.9mm gauge VieoZinc profile, as specified by the architect. A lightweight and cost-effective alternative to traditional zinc roofing, VieoZinc is an aluminium material featuring a zinc-rich coating which is specially designed to weather in a similar way to zinc and change colour over time.
“Euroclad’s Vieo systems are great products to install” said Tony Cook from PB Cook Roofing. “Timescales are key to any project and thanks to the intelligent design of the Vieo systems, we were able to install the cladding quickly and efficiently. Aesthetics were a key focus for this project and the VieoZinc profiles provided a clean and attractive finish which complemented the original brickwork of the buildings perfectly.”
