Having used Corus extensively for many years, one of the architects most recent developments is on Ashburton Road in the Trafford industrial Park.

The Trafford Industrial Park was the first of its type and has continued to grow for over a century into one of the largest in the world. The commercial units 1- 13 on Ashburton Road use steel portal frame construction with pre-finished steel roof and wall cladding.

“We have used Colorcota HPS200® in Merlin Grey for the roofs and Hamlet for the walls together with Colorcoat Celestia® (Now superseded  by Colorcoat Prisma®) on large number of commercial units on the site,” says Alistair Milne of the practice. “Both products are backed up by the Confidex® guarantee, and the peace of mind that brings to our clients is a major reason for the products specification.”

The Confidex® guarantee is the most comprehensive in the UK for pre-finished steel products and is exclusive to Corus. Issued directly to the building owner, it reduces risk and ensures complete reinstatement in the unlikely event of a problem.

“We always promote the Confidex® guarantee for Colorcoat Celestia® (Now superseded  by Colorcoat Prisma®) and HPS200® as it confirms the durability and high performance of the products,” continues Mr Milne. “We demand the highest quality products in our construction projects, but equally we expect a solid and supportive framework form the manufacturers, in terms of technical support, advice and assistance. This is the level of support we receive form Corus and the reason why we continue to specify their Colorcoat® products”.
