Linwood -Custom Cedar Homes :- The Linwood Custom Cedar Homes, have their main structural elements made up from treated timber wall studs and plywood, formed into wall panels, which support normally ‘post & beam’ roof structures, created using Douglas Fir ‘Glu-lam’ beams, supporting large section roof rafters. Our pictures below, show the erection process in it’s initial stages, of an amended Ontario bungalow. |
| SIDING : The external cladding of the home. This is Western Red Cedar in Linwood specification. |

Main Picture - Panels erected and braced. From Top - Glu-lam beam(s) lowered and fixed in place. Main beam running full length at top, is called the ‘ridge beam’. Rafters are fixed in place between top of walls and ridge beam. Roof sheathing, plywood, is fixed over rafters. |
| This system provides a simple construction format, whilst allowing great scope for some very dramatic design features. Our glazed ‘prow wall’ option; vaulted ceilings and huge flexibility of the internal layout, are just a few of the benefits available. This system also easily incorporates high levels of insulation, which is normally specified as 150mm glasswool to external walls, and 300mm to roof. |  |
