Making it work
Although Klip-Lok is generally selected for
simple roof designs in large spans, this
design is complex and involved many roof
ridges, hips, valleys and gable ends. The
various valley sections of the roofs were
fitted according to Klip-Lok specifications,
paying attention to where the roof
sheeting ends and runs into the valleys;
clips at these sections had to be custom
cut so that all sections of the roof were
clipped securely.
“Our system for applying the ridging
sections was a further development of the
method prescribed in the Klip-Lok
specifications – to ensure a straight edge
two strips of 1.6mm x 3.0mm galvanised
metal are fixed to either side of the ridge
by means of pop-rivet. The same fixings
are used to fit the specified ridge sections
to the roof over the metal strips,” he says.
Ceiling bulkheads create light troughs for a special lighting effect.
The estate
This project is one of first private
residences built on high-end Olivewood
Private Estate and Golf Course in Chintsa,
Eastern Cape, and the largest to date, the
house sits on the side of the valley with a
panoramic view of Chintsa river and beach.
In addition to the roofing and ceiling
aspects of the project Bosazza Roofing also
constructed two pergolas in the grounds of
the house and custom wood and metal
balustrades on the verandas and lower
decks including Juliette balustrades on
rear bedroom windows.
