Roofing, Cladding & Facades
Powis Mains Farm: an exclusive development enhanced with natural slate
Located in Blairlogie, a small Scottish village, this project saw several old houses and barns renovated to transform them into 11 new stunning three-room houses, all while retaining their original charm. HEAVY 3 roofing slate was chosen for its unmatchable durability and the similarities to the local Ballachulish slate, which is no longer produced. Derek Waters of Derek Waters and Sons, the Roofing Contractor for this project, added:“ the slates are solid and can stand up to any powerful weather.”

To ensure the project progressed smoothly, Nigel Hancock, Area Sales Manager – ARP met with John Yates, the Quantity Surveyor – Trendgrey Construction to discuss the extent of the project. With over 100 metres each of gutter and downpipe, along with associated accessories, it was quite a sizeable project.

TWINFIX GW POLYCARBONATE: THE INNOVATIVE ALTERNATIVE TO GEORGIAN WIRED GLASS
One of the latest polycarbonate glazing variants available from Twinfix is a 6mm solid sheet that combines the appearance of Georgian wired glass with all the material benefits of polycarbonate.
This lightweight glazing has the same sort of dimpled surface as Georgian wired glass, which should always face the inside of a building when installed.
It is also incredibly tough and durable and will withstand all that the British weather can throw at it without cracking and breaking. Having been approved
for use in Grade II listed buildings, GW Polycarbonate is now being installed at traditional 600mm centres as rooflight glazing in many refurbishment projects. Whether it’ s a railway station canopy or overhead glazing in a swimming pool this innovative 6mm polycarbonate glazing looks very similar to traditional Georgian wired glass, but provides the much higher levels of roof safety required nowadays, especially in public buildings. It is also less than half the weight of 6mm glass, so its use can help extend the fabric of an older building.
