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 .”

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 .
