Largest yet
6th December 2016

Ludlow builder Terry Angell has built what is thought to be the largest ever Equinox tiled roof in the UK – despite never before having worked with EUROCELL the roof system before.

The roof measures 12.5m x 6.5m at its widest, and forms a P-shape using five hips and a valley for which the company’s own design engineers undertook the structural calculations to ensure that the roof was strong enough to meet Building Regulations.

“The pitch of the roof would have been impossible in timber because it would never have been strong enough to carry the snow that would fall on it”, said Terry Angell. “It’s certainly strong enough now – I’ve jumped up and down on it.”

The conservatory-style extension was added to an original 90s-built two-bedroom cottage at the top of Clee Hill, Shropshire.

The decision to specify an Equinox tiled roof took Terry by surprise, as he had recommended that the homeowner should contact Eurocell to discuss windows but the area manager, Jonathan Mack, had put forward this quick-to-install roofing system.

Eurocell says the roofing system is devised to make installation simple; three-man installation team can complete an Equinox tiled roof in just two days, and it will be watertight on day one, so it can be safely left overnight.
