Detail is so important, imagine your favourite dress without the killer shoes and accessories.- or if frills don't do it for you..imagine your favourite car without the alloys and colour coding.....or worse still now imagine the wrong shoes, wrong alloys, too much bling,too much flesh, too much exhaust! What do I mean? too much of something can be as detrimental to the finishing as too little, after much thought,driving around, web searching, uming and disagreeing, we have now decided:
- Roof trusses will sit on the internal wall- There will be no overhang, thereby no fascia, to upkeep, paint or polish!
- Along the wall plate we will have a brick detail which will have recessed bricks, similar to owl air bricks, these will be interspaced with glass. We wanted the recess to look frameless...how can we achieve this? Glass blocks? yes these will work well with new blocks being capable of low u values , no cavity bridging & cold spot problems. However, after 'picking' the ideas from Pearsons joinery, he gave me an idea to fit the glass in the cavity, whereby eliminating the need for any frame...Easy peasy, problems are designed for solutions...on to the next...
- Amend the truss plans to specify loose rafters in the voids to provide an open void above the stairs and in the lounge...all sorted.
