Learning Curve

The cladding provides another point of distinction. For Te Whanau o Tupuranga school, a metal roofing and cladding system with a profile similar to classic European styles was specified. Euroline SeamLok cladding in Colorsteel® was supplied by Steel & Tube Roofing and installed by Cowperthwaite Roofing.

Richard Andrew, Cowperthwaite director, says this was a challenging, yet satisfying project.

"The installation was complicated and labour intensive. However, our teams are highly skilled and the finished character of the building speaks for itself."

Andrew says the company, which has operated under the Cowperthwaite name for more than 100 years, specialises in roofing services and maintenance. Cowperthwaite is Auckland's only certified installer of the Euroline product.

Steel & Tube Roofing Products, a division of Steel & Tube Holdings, has seven manufacturing and distribution sites around the country, which are all certified to ISO 9001 standard. The company's range of roofing profiles and claddings includes custom orb, corrugated, trapezoidal and rib profiles, trough section profiles, commercial profiles and wall claddings.
