Specification Spotlight EUROCLAD HOUSING PRODUCTS Euroclad has built its reputation within commercial construction over the last 35 years, leading the industry in the research, development and manufacture of profiled metal roofing and cladding. It is precisely this heritage that has been leveraged to develop Vieo and Opus. These are two products that lend themselves – both visually and functionally – to residential
developments. Not only are they costeffective alternatives to traditional materials but they are fast and easy to install, and they look great as part of modern or traditional house designs. This is the genesis of Euroclad Housing Products and it represents a step change in modern house construction.

Refresh is a suite of refurbishment solutions that enable an expedient, reliable and affordable refresh of a tired or failing building envelope.
