Within sustainable building design, the roofing solution obviously plays an important part. By specifying Dimondek 400 steel roofing with Colorcote ZR8 as the paint coating system, the Waitakere Central Library/Unitec architects ensured a durable roof structure, which, if the need arises, is even recyclable.Colorcote ZR8 is a product designed specifically for moderate New Zealand environments, says marketing communications manager Scott Townsend.

Dimondek 400 is a concealed fixed clip system. The clips are screwed to the steel purlins and then the roofing engages with the clips. As no fasteners pierce the profile, a common source of leaks is eliminated, meaning the weathertightness of the completed roof is greatly increased."HW Coyles was responsible for the installation on this project and has worked successfully with Dimond on a variety of high profile projects over many years.
