We completed a project for Gilbert Ash in 2022 involving a CLT (Cross Laminated Timber) building, along with the meticulous formation of a complex roof build-up. Their dedication to quality craftsmanship and attention to detail was evident throughout the entire process.

CLT Building

Cross Laminated Timber (CLT) is a sustainable and innovative construction material known for its strength, durability, and environmental benefits. CB Carpentry’s team adeptly handled the unique challenges posed by working with CLT. They began with precise measurements and cutting of the timber panels, ensuring each piece fit perfectly. The assembly process was executed with exacting precision, highlighting their proficiency in modern construction techniques.

By using CLT, CB Carpentry not only contributed to a structurally sound building but also emphasised sustainability. The material’s inherent qualities, such as thermal insulation and fire resistance, made it an ideal choice for the project. The result was a robust and eco-friendly structure that stands as a testament to CB Carpentry’s innovative approach and commitment to sustainable building practices.

Forming Roof Build-Up

In addition to the CLT building, CB Carpentry undertook the intricate task of forming the roof build-up. This phase of the project demanded a high level of skill and expertise, as it involved multiple layers and precise alignment to ensure optimal performance and durability.

The team began by installing the primary structural elements, ensuring a solid foundation for the roof. They then proceeded with the installation of insulation layers, which are crucial for energy efficiency and maintaining a comfortable indoor environment. The vapour barrier was meticulously applied to prevent moisture ingress, followed by the careful placement of the roofing membrane, which provides essential weatherproofing.

The final touches included installing the roof covering, which was chosen not only for its aesthetic appeal but also for its long-lasting durability. Throughout the process, CB Carpentry’s craftsmen paid close attention to every detail, ensuring that the roof build-up was both functional and visually appealing.
