About the project
The Maharishi Vedic Institute sits on the hillside of Champadevi. Its campus is a group of traditional-style buildings with multi-tiered, pagoda-inspired roofs.

The challenge
The institute wanted to keep the classic look of clay tiles on every building. On an exposed hillside, though, the roofs face strong sun, wind and heavy monsoon rain. Real clay tiles are heavy, crack easily and need regular repair.

Our solution
Sunrise UPVC sheets in a terracotta tile profile were installed across the campus. They match the look of traditional tiles, are much lighter on the structure, and are reinforced with glass fibre for impact strength.

The result
A campus that keeps its timeless Nepali character, protected by a roof that is waterproof, rust-free and low-maintenance.
