Our Methods and Materials
- Roof: Roof slopes vary. Popular with a 12 foot wide
room is a 4/12 or 3/12 roof pitch. 16 foot wide rooms generally
use a 3/12 roof pitch. The roof comes complete with a 2'x6'
tongue and groove S.P.F. decking that forms an attractive
ceiling that's strong enough to support even the heaviest snow
loads! Includes a vented roof with 1/2 inch exterior sheathing,
vapor barrier, flashing, drip edge and building felt. All you
need to add are shingles to match your house. Insulated to R-38.
- Curved Wooden Arches: Made of high-quality
architectural-grade Southern Yellow Pine. Laminated for strength
and beauty, then sanded smooth, ready to be stained, oiled or
varnished. Meets AITC (American Institute of Timber Construction)
standards.
- Double-Layer, Solar Glass Panels: Made to collect the
sun's warmth in winter. Our glass is tempered for extra
strength. Panels normally measure 4' x 6' , 5' x 6' or
customized as needed. Measuring 1 inch thick, each panel is made
of two layers of 3/16' tempered glass (with an insulating pocket
between layers), double sealed along the edges to prevent
fogging or streaking. Low-e glass is standard with all kits.
Other glass is available, all you need to do is ask.
- Glazing System: Holds glass panels in place and locks
out air or moisture leaks. Includes sill plates and attractive
mahogany frame and trim, plus architectural sealants. So simple
to install, any homeowner can do it. It's practically fool
proof!
- Sidewalls: Standard 2 x 6 stud wall construction is used so you can run wiring or plumbing through the walls. Walls include exterior sheathing, fiberglass insulation and vapor barrier. Knee walls and Gable Room side walls include exterior sheathing, high-r vapor barrier along with fiberglass insulation. You can add the interior wall finish on site, or select one of our natural wood finishes. You supply exterior siding to blend with the rest of your house. Walls are insulated to R-20.
