The SSR2 Standing Seam Roofing and Cladding system from Catnic has provided a bespoke design solution for a porch detail installed across 150 homes at a high profile housing development for Barratt Homes and David Wilson Homes in South London.

The SSR2 delivers a high specification finish that provides the aesthetics and performance required.

There was a requirement for a canopy detail which is why the Catnic SSR2 was suggested. Designed by Kynaston, the self-supporting canopy comprises a 40mm x 40mm steel box support, which is bolted within the window unit and supporting gallow brackets. This has been wrapped in an 18mm plyboard with the Catnic SSR2 fitted on to it.

The canopy feature has been installed on 150 houses so far. The orientation and design detail is different for each housebuilder but typically they have been big properties, often four-bed detached units. Because of the scale of the housing development, the steel and timber element is now pre manufactured in different sizes including 4.4m, 5.5m, 6.5m and 8.3m, which can all be called onto site easily.

The SSR2 system is manufactured to meet all relevant legislation, including load bearing for wind speed in accordance with EN 1991-4 and weather tightness in accordance with BS 5534 Parts 1 and 2. In addition, helping to meet requirements for sustainable building solutions – SSR2 is BRE Green Guide Rated ‘A’ and at end of life – the panels are 100% recyclable.

The SSR2 Standing Seam Roofing and Cladding system is also suitable for conventional residential and commercial pitched roofing, and provides a wealth of performance and aesthetic advantages.
