IKEA External Ducting & Proclad Case Study

External ducting with grey Proclad weatherproofing for a live UK retail site.

For IKEA, Enviroshield delivered external ductwork cladding and weather-resistant finishing to exposed services serving a busy retail environment. The focus was a tidy grey Proclad finish that protected the installation while keeping the route visually controlled at roof and plant level.

Project Overview

Because the ducting was exposed to the weather, the completed build had to combine thermal performance, water resistance and a finish that sat comfortably within a high-traffic commercial setting.

Project Challenges:

Maintaining continuity across long external runs, changes in level and plant connections while keeping the finish weather-tight and visually consistent.

Project Solutions:

Enviroshield used a grey Proclad outer finish and coordinated detailing around the route so the external services remained protected and practical to maintain.

Delivery Approach

Delivery was built around the realities of external exposure, with route checks, support detailing and weatherproof service protection planned before installation started.

External route checks

Duct runs, supports and junctions were reviewed so the weatherproof covering could be detailed cleanly.

Weatherproof finish

The Proclad system gave the external ducting a durable outer layer suited to roof-level exposure.

Retail-ready presentation

The completed finish kept the installation looking controlled and appropriate for a customer-facing site.
