FP McCann has supplied its thin leading edge interlocking concrete roof tiles branded ”Thin Flat” to a brand-new care facility in Largs, North Ayrshire. Once complete early next year, the new 80-bed care home will provide accommodation for its elderly residents over three levels. Amongst its many state-of-the art facilities will be activity rooms and dining areas, a café, a gym and a cinema.
The former Warren Park Nursing Home was demolished in 2022 in advance of the new building work being undertaken by Northern Ireland based construction group Corramore on behalf of client the Care Concern Group. To complement the surrounding properties many of which have slate tiled roofs, a colour-matched FP McCann concrete roof tile has been installed, significantly saving on cost, with nearly 16,000 tiles together with 360 ridge tiles required to complete the roof.
The FP McCann Thin Flat Black roof and ridge tiles have been supplied from the company’s new ultra-modern £30 million tile factory in Cadeby near Nuneaton, Warwickshire. This modern looking low-profile tile also available in Anthracite, Grey, Terracotta and Brown, features a smooth non-textured finish and straight cut edge.
Commenting on the Thin Flat tile installation, Sean Osborne Procurement Manager for Corramore says, “The low-profile black concrete tiles have given the roof on the new building a distinctive slate-like appearance as to the architect’s specification. The durable tiles were easy to fix with minimum breakage recorded. We will certainly consider using FP McCann roof tile range on future construction projects.”
Further expansion at the fully automated Cadeby factory will shortly mean the introduction of additional tile profiles. All FP McCann concrete roof tiles and accessories are of the highest standard and are covered by a 15 year Guarantee. www.fpmccann.co.uk
