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.
