CARGILL - BROCKTON | SUNROOM ADDITION WINDOWS AND ROOF
You can see the pink Moore baffle vents supplying great airflow under the roof sheathing to keep this roof functioning properly and make these shingles last.
Step flashing was installed against the brick walls that will receive another piece of aluminum step flashing over top cut into the mortor joints between the brick to ensure a properly flashed roof and a trouble free future. As well as an aluminum kicker at the roof eaves to get water away from the yellow brick wall and into the future eavestroughs.
Stassburger windows and doors going in as well as Maibec board and button siding starting to go on.
The opening was carefully prepared and we were able to move the existing Strassburger door from the dining room into its new opening in the sunroom.
Butyl flashing tape was carefully used to ensure now moisture will ever get in around the windows and doors and rot the framing. Its tied into aluminum flashings installed properly meeting and exceeding Ontario Building Code requirements
All the new Strassburger windows and doors are installed.
We manufactured this custom crawl space door to allow easy access to the crawlspace so items being stored in the crawl space can easily be brought up and down. The door is easily opened because of the gas strut making the door gently open itself.
CARGILL - BROCKTON | SUNROOM ADDITION SIDING PREP, INSULATION AND DRYWALL
Cargill - Brockton | Sunroom addition siding prep, insulation and drywall
We installed an aluminum flashing over the foundation wall lapped with blueskin flashing tape, which is covered by the Pressure Treated ledger board for the future decks and then another aluminum flashing lapping all the previous work is installed and also covered in blueskin to ensure adequate water drainage in the rain screen layer.
The strapping has been completed on the addition to create a rain screen / ventilated cavity behind the siding, 16” o.c. vertical strapping then strapped 12” o.c. horizontally in preparation for the Maibec Board and Batten siding.
The wiring rough in was completed by Tim Wells Electric. The addition was insulated by Martin’s Insulation with polyurethane closed cell spray foam. Achieving an R-28 wall and R-50 ceiling. They sprayed from the footings to the peak of the roof, including capping any of the interior double brick wall and foundation to stop thermal bridging.
We installed 1/2” CGC drywall board in the sunroom with Trim Tex drywall corner beads. All supplied to us by Welbeck Sawmill.
The addition has been taped, and the cover coat ran on all the tapes and corners, screws have all been spotted a second time.
The addition has now been skim coated with our 12” Columbia box and the screw spotted a third coat, we have skimmed out the neo angles at the ceilings with our 8” Columbia box, and we came back over all the joints with a final skim coat with our 14” Columbia box.
We have sanded out all the drywall with our sander hooked to a dust extractor to minimize the dust and have now primed the drywall with primer supplied by Farlow’s Home Hardware. Can’t wait for our windows, doors and skylights to arrive!
CARGILL - BROCKTON | SUNROOM ADDITION FRAMING
Cargill - Brockton | Sunroom Addition Framing. This past winter we framed this Sunroom Addition on our Cargill project in Bruce County.
The wall are 9’-0” to match the height of the original house walls. The addition will be two steps down from the main house to allow a window above the peak of the roof in the bedroom above it. The walls are 2” x 6” construction with solid blocking at mid height and 5/8” plywood sheathing.
This existing Patio door which is fairly new will be repurposed in the new addition when completed.
The roof was framed 2” x 12” @ 24” o.c. to allow R-50 Polyurethane insulation and venting. We also framed in for 6 skylights to allow lots of light into the addition.
The entire roof was sheathed with 3/4” tongue and groove plywood and then covered in a high quality smooth face ice and water shield to make a high quality base layer under the shingles for the future skylights. Also protecting the roof for construction to continue while the skylights were on order and allowing the shingles to be installed at a more suitable date when they could seal properly after install.
The plywood wall sheathing was covered in Typar house wrap before being also covered in 1” rigid foam insulation, which in combination with the polyurethane spray foam insulation will provide continuous insulation over all the framing and finish the walls of this addition with R-28 insulation.
Thank you to Welbeck Sawmill for the high quality materials supplied and ArchLines for their design work to get this project started.
