Materials and Coating Finishes

European Profiles is able to provide roof and cladding systems in a host of finishes and material ranging from stainless steel, stucco-embossed aluminium, zinc/aluminium alloy-coated steel, pre-painted zinc/ aluminium alloy coated steel, hot-dipped zinc coated steel and pre-painted hot-dipped zinc coated steel.

Other choices in material can also be offered to the more discerning architect or designer. Choices in paint systems from high quality polyester, PVDF coatings and Corus’s HPS high performance (200 microns) barrier coating are also available. Selections are based on demands on corrosion resistance, colour retention and other local factors.

Condensation Risk Analysis

The risk of condensation in the roofing system is a major concern in any proposed built-up by the designer. Moisture entrapments and condensation inside the roof will lead to accelerated corrosion, reducing the lifespan of the roof.

European Profiles uses software to calculate the risk of interstitial condensation forming at the interfaces of layers within an element in accordance to BS 5250:2002, code of practice for control of condensation in buildings. The method of analysis is defined in BS EN ISO 13788:2002.

Acoustic Prediction

In the design of any building, considerations are given by the consultant on the acoustic characteristic both inside and outside of the building. Herein, the correctly designed roof and wall cladding system plays an important role.

EP has various systems to cater for the different levels of sound absorption and sound transmission coefficient (STC) required, ranging from simple roof to high built-up system with STC 50 and beyond. We also work with local and overseas acoustic consultants on specific high-end projects when required.

Working with acoustic specialists and local universities, European Profiles is able to provide not only solutions to your building acoustic needs but also as a testing facility to prove acoustic performances are met.

Hydraulic Calculation

The risk of condensation in the roofing system is a major concern in any proposed built-up by the designer. Moisture entrapments and condensation inside the roof will lead to accelerated corrosion, reducing the lifespan of the roof.

European Profiles uses software to calculate the risk of interstitial condensation forming at the interfaces of layers within an element in accordance to BS 5250:2002, code of practice for control of condensation in buildings. The method of analysis is defined in BS EN ISO 13788:2002.

Thermal Transmittance Calculation

Reducing energy consumption is a pre-requisite of Green Building requirements. A well-designed cool building has a low thermal transmittance value. Thus, less energy is used to cool its interior. As a design and building specialist, European Profiles can provide the necessary advice and engineering solutions for such buildings.

Computational Fluid Dynamics
(CFD) Modeling

Ventilation system for louvers and ridge ventilators are commonly designed to ensure effective airflow within a building. At European Profiles, technical expertise using complex software modelling (finite element analysis method) is available to provide ventilation system data in the analysis of temperature distribution and heat movement anticipated in a building. 

Fire Engineering Design

Technical design manual is available on the design of composite floor slabs in the fire limit state as covered by BS 5950: Part 8 :1990 for our composite floor decking system. Design software can be provided on request from our technical sales team.
