Vermont Plat House - some details
I received a few more close up shots of the house progress yesterday. The owner is clearly enjoying seeing this come together and has been very generous in sharing it here with us.
This is looking out from the side patio next to the master bedroom. The owner may screen in the porch here. We will have to see what he chooses.
Now at the other end of the house looking at the overhang of the main roof. The standing seam roofing work is just about done. I think the anodized aluminum looks just great. The chimney is clad in the same material.
Here is a close up of a section of siding going on. These windows are into the master bedroom dressing area and bath. That is an exhaust fan outlet from the bath up top, and a fitting for an outdoor shower on the wall. The windows are from Eagle - an aluminum clad wood window, the company was recently purchased by Andersen in order to compete with the likes of Pella, Marvin, Weathersheild, and Lowen in this category (Andersen windows are vinyl clad wood). I think they look great - I belived they are anodized aluminum on the exterior which looks great with the roof fascia above.

What is the detail for the standing seam metal roof at the up hill overhang. How is the metal roof flashed in that location to prevent water infiltration
ReplyDeleteShaun - I don't have the detail. The contractor and roofing manufacturer are taking the lead here. You can see the standing seams at the high end of the roof in the photo - I would expect them to have a cap flashing over them that would force water to drip onto the roof or onto the fascia below, but it is not present. It may be yet to be installed.
ReplyDeleteThe siding is very interesting to me. Is it stained or painted? Who makes that color orange and do you know the specific name of the color?
ReplyDeleteIt is stained cedar, not sure of the stain manufacturer or color. I'll see what I can find out.
ReplyDeleteword back - the owner says:
ReplyDeleteThe stain is Cabot.... Sequoia the first coat, then clear sealer on top to that. Gives it some depth and warms the color.
