What Is The Ashzip Standing Seam System?
Ashzip is a built up aluminium standing seam roofing and wall cladding system, manufactured by Ash & Lacy using state of the art production equipment. The system is available in 300mm and 400mm standard cover widths, in a range of rib configurations and materials including 3000 series aluminium, G275 prepainted galvanised steel, copper and zinc.
With no fixing penetrations through the weathering face of the sheet (all fixings sit below the sheet), Ashzip delivers a clean, uninterrupted external finish alongside a high level of weathertightness. The system can be installed to pitches as low as 1.5°, and carries BBA approval incorporating thermal expansion test requirements.

Applications
The Ashzip standing seam system is suited to a broad range of roof and wall cladding applications across the commercial, industrial, public sector, healthcare and education sectors.
It is equally at home on new build projects and refurbishments, and its ability to achieve curved profiles (both on site and under factory conditions using mobile rollforming and curving technology) makes it a popular choice for architecturally demanding projects where standard profiled sheet systems cannot meet the design brief.
It has been successfully installed on hospitals, schools, colleges, retail developments and sports facilities across the UK.
Why Ashzip Standing Seam System?
Standing seam roofing is widely regarded as one of the most aesthetically refined and technically reliable roofing system types available, and Ashzip sits at the top of that category.
The absence of external fixings eliminates one of the most common points of water ingress on traditional profiled sheet roofs, while the system's ability to thermally expand and contract without compromising weathertightness gives it a significant performance advantage in the UK climate.
