How to add more light to your Colt House
A moderately skilled task carried out by our highly trained staff.
We removed four full height windows from one room and a narrow set of wooden French doors and wall panel from another room, all on the same elevation! In total, 7.2 metres in length; the roof was supported with a steel portal frame.
The challenge was to support the heavy roof load, whilst maintaining security and separating the working environment from family life behind the screen wall.
Our LABC approved the structural calculations and in less than a week the roof was supported, the steel work in place and the doors were ready to be installed.
The objective was to add more light to the kitchen and bedroom, in addition to improving the symmetry to the bungalow. This has now transformed this secluded timber decked area into a pleasurable place to relax and entertain.
