FAQ

1. What are the section dimensions and spacing of framing

   100mm framing spaced at 600mm centres. We make the framing of the building and apply a plywood skin to the outside to make the frame rigid. This also provides a nicer finish to the inside of the building. The bitumen paper (vapour barrier) in on the back of the ply, followed by the external shiplap cladding.

    

2. What is the shiplap and is it treated

   The shiplap is 16mm x 125mm and it is pressure treated (tanalised)

    

3. What does the plywood lining do.

   The plywood lining is WBP grade and stiffens the framework of the building. Internally it improves the look of the garage, and coupled witht he shiplap cladding, externally is provides a very efficient double exterior skin.

4. Nailing galvanised?

6. Thickness of OSB roof boarding

   The OSB3 is 12mm. OSB3 is the highest grade of sterling board and features a protective coating to make it durable and for outside use.

7. What is Onduline
   
   Onduline is felt and bitumen compressed into a corrugated profile, and offers excellent durability especially in windy locations. The standard colour is Black, however Brown, Red and Green are all available as options.

8. What are Felt Tiles and how are they fitted.
   
   The felt tiles are a 1m wide sheet and have 4 tiles within the profile. The tiles are fitted onto underfelt, which completely covers the OSB boarding. Only half of the sheet is displayed as it is covered by the upper level, hence 3 layers of roofing material cover the OSB. The edges are finished with a finishing trim, as is the ridge line. Colours available are brown and grey.

9. Height of walls on top of brickwork

   The walls are 2.15m or 2.31m depending on the location of the gable ends.

12. Do you supply DPC onto the brick course?
    
    The DPC is fitted to the bottom of the framing on the garage buildings. This means that you are not required to add a DPC to the brick course.

    Usually 4-6 weeks
    
14. How level and square does base need to be?
    
    The base needs to be flat and level to a tolerance of + - 5mm, which is perfectly acceptable to the builders. The base needs to be bigger than the bricks by a minimum of 50mm

    We can provide you with elevations for planning permission, along with an overhead plan ready for you to submit to the local authorities.

    We issue a base plan for the groundwork on receipt of the deposit.

17. What if I need a tiled roof.
    
    Roof trusses are required at 600mm centres, which we supply and fit (including cladding the gable ends). You will then require a local tiler to batten and tile the roof, fit the soffits, and guttering.

18. Options to put velux windows in.

    Unfortunately we are unable to offer this service. However we do have customers that have fitted their own windows after assembly.

19. Options to pre finish the plywood wall lining?
    
    It is suitable for you to fill between the upright framing with insulation and internally line with plywood or plasterboard - should you require. You are also welcome to fit your own electrics into the garage after assembly. You will need to use a qualified electrician to do this work.
