This was refurbishment of an existing kitchen and garage extension that had a flat shingle roof and brick wall construction. Built in the early 1980s, the extension had little insulation and the kitchen was permanently cold. The client was keen for the extension look contemporary and complement the 100 year old house and also to improve thermal performance of the kitchen area roof and walls and upstairs elevation.New wood trusses were installed to make kitchen and garage roofs the same level and a mix of loose wool and rigid insulation was used to significantly improve thermal performance.EasySeam flat profile standing seam roof system (Slate Grey) was fitted to the roof and and EasySeam Soffit profile (Slate Grey) on the kitchen exterior walls. Additionally, the first floor side elevation above the kitchen/garage which had previously been finished with a white render was over-clad with EasySeam soffit profile (Stone Grey).Client commented:-“We used EasySeam standing seam roof System to reclad a flat roof kitchen and garage extension that had failed and looked unsightly. We also took the opportunity to wrap the exterior kitchen walls in insulation and fit EasySeam soffit boards over this. The technical support we received from Vertix Systems was second to none and the ordering process was easy. Both the soffit boards and standing seam have given our home a more contemporary appearance- mixing old and new beautifully.”

The Grade II listed Market Hall in Cardigan is a much-loved community building which has been in constant use since it first opened in 1860. The building was in need of significant restoration and suffered from a lack of accessibility.Neighbouring building the Guildhall was restored in 2009 and a scheme of repair and refurbishment was initiated for the Market Hall in 2023 to complement this. As well as extensive repairs and an upgrading of services throughout the building, a new entrance tower was added. This incorporated a lift and public toilet facilities on each level and has improved accessibility Vertix Systems supplied EasySeam Wall Cladding System in a Flat profile for the entrance tower lift shaft in Slate Grey. The choice of metal standing seam profile and colour add a contemporary twist to the two historic buildings.“We are very pleased with the quality and finish of the Vertix Easyseam cladding fitted to our new building at Cardigan Guildhall Market. It also looks wonderful.”

A modern new build residential complex for YMCA in Cardiff, providing much needed accommodation for young adults at risk of homelessness.With homelessness in all its forms an ever growing issue for many young people, YMCA Cardiff has raised the required funding to build a new 18-bed apartment complex, providing safe and secure accommodation specifically for young adults at risk of homelessness.The apartment complex which sits adjacement to the YMCA’s main building in Cardiff, has been built using contemporary methods of construction and includes the use of Vertix EasySeam Standing Seam System on large sections of the front wall elevation.The YMCA uses a bright colour palette to represent each of its five key work areas; Family & Youth work, Health & Wellbeing, Housing, Training & Education and Support & Advice. The vibrant colour scheme is also used to externally convey the organisation’s positive and hopeful personality. A number of the YMCA’s vivid colours have been incorporated in the design of the new building, helping it to stand out and reinforcing the organisation’s personality.To achieve this, Vertix EasySeam Wall Cladding System panels in Colorcoat Prisma® Anthracite were horizontally fixed on the front building elevations. Individual vinyl films reflecting YMCA’s colour palette were then applied to the pan of each EasySeam panel, creating a building that is both visually striking and on brand.The finished apartment complex provides a comfortable and nurturing space for its residents, with access to comprehensive on-site support services to help each young person address their own unique needs. It offers each young resident a stable environment to rebuild their lives and create a brighter future.“When we designed this building, we wanted to ensure not only was it a quality build, but also a vibrant and joyful building for our residents. The colourful vinyl films applied to Vertix EasySeam Wall System certainly achieve this and make the building stand out. So many of our visitors and residents have commented on the look of the site. We are beyond delighted with this final finish and Vertix Systems contribution to this”. Andrew Templeton, CEO YMCA Cardiff
