Walls/Roof Sections

  • By designing for winter solar gain and year 'round comfort, portions of the roof and endwalls are built with insulated construction.
  • Insulated roof utilizes a sandwich of exterior sheathing, foam insulation, and drywall.   Equivalent to more than 10" of fiberglass insulation, this panelized construction method installs very quickly.  Operable skylites can be placed within the roof for ventilation.  Roof areas are also available all-glass.
  • End-walls are conventional 2"x6" construction allowing a wide selectioin of operable doors and windows.  This allows for ample cross ventilation and through siding and trim selection, can complement and match existing construction.   Timber-framed glass endwalls witth operable doors and windows available.
  • Standard depths are 8', 10', 12', and 16' out from the house.  Each frame is cut to order so any size is available without "custom" pricing.
