Ash & Lacy

By constructing a lightweight steel sub-frame over the existing roof (which is then over-clad), an effective pitch is created to facilitate water run-off. This combined with the relocation of drainage to the outside of the building ensures water is permanently removed from a roof and the potential for any further problems eliminated. Developed by Ash & Lacy in 1991, AshJack™ was the first structural lightweight flat-to-pitch over-roof conversion system to be introduced in the UK. Supported by a network of experienced installers, AshJack™ provides a range of systems, which can be individually tailored to suit the specific structural and design requirements of the existing building. Over-roofing conversion system has been punching above its lightweight properties for two decades.

The AxiAL range of rainscreen support systems and lightweight framing components has been developed by industry experts to offer a diverse selection of generic framing options that can accommodate a wide spectrum of materials and design requirements. Providing both cost-effective and flexible solutions, and benefiting from the safety of mechanical fixing methodology, there is an AxiAL system to suit the needs of most new build and refurbishment projects for buildings that are built to last. Comprised of an extensive standard range of pre-assembled brackets & rails, available in both aluminium and stainless-steel options, AxiAL components and systems are manufactured from the highest quality metal alloys, ensuring optimum structural integrity and longevity.

Amongst a wide ranging product portfolio we are able to offer trapezoidal cladding. As part of the standing seam construction using our 32/1000/200 profile, it offers a walkable liner profile. Available in a number of finishes from perforated, to accommodate sound absorption, through to specialist coatings for highly aggressive environments, the 32/1000/200 profile is the ideal product. This product is also available with external coating for use on standard trapezoidal constructions, and is complemented by a range of firewall assessments.

Our bespoke perimeter flashings and fabrications are available in a range of finishes and materials ranging from pre-coated steel to PPC aluminium to perfectly complement our standing seam system or facade panels. We can also provide a full range of ancillary components, such as fabricated stop ends and corner units. We offer a similarly tailored service with our rainwater management components. Choose from a wide selection of materials from coated galvanised steel to high quality membrane lined options. Our range of ancillaries includes outlets, downpipes, bracketry and fabricated stop ends. A gutter calculation service is available, following order placement.

Providing a solar set up that makes absolute sense

MechSlip brick cladding allows architects and specifiers to use authentic brick with the inspired versatility of a fully mechanically fixed cladding system. Offering a wider spectrum of design options than purpose-made extruded brick slip, this genuine brick innovation combines a palette of over 300 Ibstock brick finishes with the sheer adaptability and cost efficiency of one of the UKs most flexible and robust cladding support systems.
