Gull wing roof created for Blackburn apartments

Cheshire Roof Trusses, in conjunction with Wolf Systems, has been involved in the design, fabrication and installation of a striking gull wing roof for an apartment building in Blackburn, Lancashire. Lock Mill is a four-storey structure by Bryant Homes, on a brownfield site offering residents stylish waterfront accommodation. Cheshire Roof Trusses is the Wolf licensed manufacturer responsible for the supply and fix package of double-profile, engineered timber trusses. The design encompassed a total of more than 400 gull wing trusses with a 16-metre plus span. Each features a relatively low pitch of just six degrees and is weathered with a 1.5 mm thick Sarnafil single ply membrane. This is laid on top of 100 mm Kingspan insulation and marine plywood decking with a vapour barrier. For more information call 02476 602303 or visit www.wolfsystem.co.uk
