RETAIL BUILDINGS

Curved Roof Insulated Steel Buildings for Retail

Fordingbridge is increasingly supplying its curved roof permanent structures for a range of retail uses. Its insulated steel buildings, which are all fully L2 Building Regulations compliant, are ideal for retail use, with Fordingbridge able to design and supply bespoke buildings with floor area of 300 - 5,000 metres² or more.

In addition, Fordingbridge outdoor canopies, awnings and walkway designs are a cost-effective useful addition to any Fordingbridge retail building where a porch, entrance canopy, waiting area, or trolley park is required. Fordingbridge walkways are popular as a way to lead customers on the optimum route through a retail area. Canopies, awnings and walkways can be built in a variety of shapes to suit the site including horseshoes, staggered (to cope with a sloping site), and long, flowing spans alongside or between buildings.

The frames are mainly steel in construction with a composite roof and curtain walling with micro rib composite side walls as standard.

Our canopies, awnings and walkways are offered in laminated timber frames or steel frames with the latter provided in hot dip galvanised steel finish as standard with RAL/BS paint finish also available.

Fabric roofs – guaranteed for five years - allow 60% light transmission whilst giving 95% UV protection. The triple wall polycarbonate is guaranteed for ten years. Both coverings are fire retardant.

Our insulated steel buildings are fully L2 Building Regulations compliant, with glazed walling options and curved roofs with the option of composite roofs with or without fixed or opening rooflight sections, alternatively roofs can be part or fully glazed.

The frames are mainly steel in construction with a composite roof and curtain walling with micro rib composite side walls as standard.

We also offer a tension fabric design and construction service, providing a range of elegant design solutions offering permanent structures with a lightweight appearance and minimal structural support but a long life.

The steel framework structure with hot-dip galvanised or RAL/BS painted finish, plus fabric membrane offer durability of 10 to 20 years for the PVC membrane, to 25-30 years with the PTFE membrane coating.

Shapes include: cantilevered, hypar, umbrella and double conic. We are continually exploring the application’s possibilities.

Full building regulations calculations and CDM package are available with all structures.
