Modernising Holiday Home Design With Metal Fascias

As holiday home design continues to evolve, manufacturers are placing greater focus on the finishing details that help create a more premium, residential-style appearance across modern leisure developments.

When our customer approached Eltherington Leisure, they were looking for a fascia solution capable of delivering improved durability, cleaner aesthetics and greater manufacturing flexibility compared to more traditional GRP alternatives.

The brief was clear.

They needed a system that would enhance the overall appearance of the homes while reducing maintenance concerns, simplifying installation and supporting faster production timelines.

That solution was Eltherington Leisure’s Metal Fascia system.

The Challenge

Traditional fascia and bargeboard systems used within the leisure sector can often create several ongoing challenges for manufacturers and operators alike:

• Tooling and mould costs
• Longer lead times
• Limited design flexibility
• Ongoing maintenance concerns
• UV degradation over time
• Difficulties achieving consistent finishes across projects

At the same time, manufacturers were increasingly looking for solutions capable of supporting more bespoke, design-led holiday home styles without adding unnecessary complexity to the production process.

The customer needed a system that balanced aesthetics, durability and manufacturing efficiency in equal measure.

The EG Approach

At Eltherington Leisure, we understand that the finishing details can have a major impact on the overall appearance and longevity of modern holiday homes.

With more than 65 years of manufacturing expertise, our approach focuses on delivering precision-engineered systems tailored specifically to the leisure sector.

Working closely with our customer and collaborating alongside our in-house R&D team, a bespoke fascia solution was developed to meet the specific aesthetic and performance requirements of the project.

Following a detailed review of the application, our Metal Fascia system was identified as the ideal solution.

Designed specifically for holiday home applications, the system combines:

• Extensive colour and finish options
• Components manufactured up to 6m in length
• Rapid lead times
• Multiple fixing solutions
• Exceptional UV resistance
• Long-term durability
• Fully recyclable material options

The result was a bespoke fascia system designed to enhance the appearance of modern holiday homes while improving long-term performance and installation efficiency.

Designed Around Flexibility and Appearance

One of the customer’s key priorities was creating a cleaner, more contemporary roofline appearance across the development.

Working in partnership with our R&D team allowed greater flexibility throughout the design process, helping develop bespoke fascia details tailored specifically to the customer’s product range and manufacturing requirements.

Eltherington’s Metal Fascia systems are available in a wide range of profiles, colours and finishes, allowing manufacturers to tailor designs around their individual holiday home styles.

Starting from five standard fascia profiles, the systems can also be customised to meet bespoke project requirements.

Features including:

• Bespoke centre crests
• Custom fascia profiles
• Aluminium end caps
• Tapered design options
• Painted aluminium and galvanised steel finishes

…all helped provide greater design freedom while maintaining consistency throughout production.

The ability to manufacture components up to 6m in length also helped create cleaner roofline detailing with fewer visible joins across each elevation.

Built for Long-Term Leisure Performance

Durability and long-term reliability were also central to the project requirements.

Designed specifically for exposed leisure environments, the Metal Fascia system delivers strong resistance to UV exposure and weathering while maintaining its appearance over time.

Unlike more traditional GRP alternatives, the system eliminates mould and tooling costs while providing faster lead times and greater flexibility for manufacturers.

The use of recyclable painted materials, including coatings made using rapeseed oil technology, also supported the customer’s growing focus on sustainability and environmentally conscious product selection.

For the customer, this delivered a practical, future-focused solution capable of balancing aesthetics, performance and manufacturing efficiency.

The Result

By specifying Eltherington Leisure’s Metal Fascia system, the customer achieved:

• A cleaner, more premium roofline appearance
• Greater design flexibility
• Bespoke fascia solutions tailored to their product range
• Reduced long-term maintenance concerns
• Faster production and installation efficiency
• Improved durability in exposed environments
• Increased sustainability through recyclable materials
