LVL - Creating wide open spaces like never before! LVL stands for Laminated Veneer Lumber, an engineered wood product that uses multiple layers of thin wood assembled with adhesives. It may not sound sexy but this building innovation is now allowing space and visual effects that previously would have been costly, or even impossible, to achieve. It is inspiring architects, designers, builders and end users to reach for new heights. It is consistent, reliable and saves time and labour. LVL is available in longer lengths than regular timber. It can also bear greater loads over wider spans, making it a very cost- effective, and attractive, building solution. As a pioneer in its use and application, Customkit is able to deliver a whole host of different ‘looks’ and environmental features. From a distinctive ‘rural/rustic’ house, to more of an ‘urban’ or ‘industrial’ effect that more and more people are transporting out into the country, LVL has become a growing feature of Customkit Homes. Customkit’s production manager Kevin Taylor says the company specialises in board and batten buildings with a The beauty of it also is that you can literally ‘use it or lose it’ as a feature. We find unique timber portal system. The portals are made from “ people can create the style they want by making a feature of the portal legs/gussets LVL connected with nailed plywood gussets onto the LVL or rafters. If you want the LVL can be encased so that you can’t see the portal legs component. Another benefit of using LVL, he says, is that it or rafters.

In architecture, a cupola is a relatively small, most often dome-like, tall structure on top of a building. Often used to provide a lookout or to admit light and air, it usually crowns a larger roof or dome. ... Barns often have cupolas for ventilation. What is a Cupola? A cupola is a small tower or dome-like feature projecting from the top of a barn roof. Ranging from large and ornate to small and simple, cupolas typically have three parts: the base, the vents and the cap. The size of the base is determined by the slope or pitch of the barn roof. In the middle, the vents can be windows or slats designed to let light, air or gas pass through. Screens can be added to keep out insects and animals. The caps of cupolas are usually designed to have a square, octagonal, bell-like or other distinctive geometric shape. They are also often topped with a finial or weathervane. 23 CUSTOMKIT BUILDINGS
