Our Challenge
This two-level home on the Peka Peka sand dunes required a high-performing structural package with exceptional aesthetics. The design featured a prominent gable end that needed a visually striking, precise timber truss system. This required structural components offering superior strength, stability, and aesthetic quality, especially against the demanding coastal conditions.
The Techlam Solution
Techlam provided a pre-engineered package of structural glulam timber, focusing on the feature gable end truss. We supplied visual appearance grade GL8 glulam components for the chords and webs, complete with white powder-coated stainless steel plates. Our precision off-site manufacturing ensured all elements fit perfectly, guaranteeing rapid, accurate assembly for Slate Construction and delivering the required robust, visually appealing coastal structure.
