Innovative Roofing Solutions

Information of the Project

Situated in the busy district of Stamford Hill, London, the institutional development at Belfast Road, N16 6UH, was designed to combine architectural quality with practical performance. The project was led by Neilcott Construction Ltd and Astral Roofing Ltd, with Online Metal Store Ltd supplying and supporting the installation of a bespoke aluminium coping system. This collaborative effort was driven by the need to deliver a robust, low-maintenance solution that enhanced both the building’s aesthetic and its long-term resilience.

Selecting Systems

The selected solution featured a 2mm aluminium sloped coping system, known for its durability, straightforward maintenance, and ability to protect rooflines from weather exposure. This system was chosen for its proven performance in institutional settings, offering strength without compromising on design. The coping was finished in RAL 7016 Anthracite Grey, a popular and refined colour choice that added a modern, professional finish to the overall structure. The polyester powder coating ensured strong resistance to environmental wear, helping the system maintain its appearance and performance for years to come.

Compliant Fire Safety

Fire safety was a fundamental requirement for the project, particularly within a densely developed urban area. The aluminium coping system achieved an A2-s1,d0 fire rating, certifying its non-combustible nature and low smoke emission in the event of fire. This level of safety compliance meets the highest industry standards and supports the wellbeing of those using or visiting the building.

Result and Advantages

Despite the logistical challenges of working within a tight, built-up location, the coping system was installed efficiently and to specification. Online Metal Store Ltd worked closely with the project teams to coordinate material delivery and ensure a smooth installation process with minimal disruption. The finished system not only delivered reliable weather protection but also enhanced the visual identity of the building, aligning with the broader design intent of the development. The result is a clean, modern finish backed by dependable long-term performance.

Conclusion

The Belfast Road project exemplifies what can be achieved through thoughtful material selection, precise fabrication, and effective collaboration. Online Metal Store Ltd was proud to contribute to this institutional development, supplying a coping solution that met high expectations for safety, appearance, and performance. The success of this project sets a strong benchmark for future work in complex urban environments where quality and compliance are equally critical.
