Rolls Royce - Metal Roof Refurbishment
Location: Ansty, UK
Project: Refurbishment of a 14,000 sqm metal roof prior to solar PV installation
Challenge
Rolls Royce’s Ansty facility required a major roof refurbishment to prepare the building for the installation of a large-scale solar PV array.
The project needed to:
▪ Provide a compliant, stable substrate capable of supporting solar mounting systems
▪ Minimise operational disruption at a live engineering site
▪ Deliver long-term weather resilience
Solution
To overcome these challenges, the client specified Rooflock Twelve HR Coating System for its long-term durability and fast efficient installation
Results
The refurbished roof now offers a robust, compliant foundation ready for the installation of a large-scale solar PV system. The upgraded roof supports Rolls Royce’s sustainability goals by enabling renewable energy generation and reducing long-term operational energy costs.
Our products played a key role in ensuring the roof met the rigorous technical specifications required for solar integration.
Key Benefits
▪ Roof fully prepared for future solar PV installation
▪ Improved durability and weather protection
▪ Reduced long-term maintenance requirements
