Specification

The Chesterton offers versatility in design with a choice of windows, doors and roof styles. The exterior cladding is a deep 150mm/6” ‘unsorted grade’ shiplap which is virtually knot free after we have further ‘graded’ the timber in house, making it perfect for a paint finish.

Choice of door styles and door furniture, include a mortice lock and lever handle.

The windows have a substantial frame, sill and can be fixed or vented. A breather membrane is fitted between the framework, hardwood ply-liner and exterior cladding, allowing moisture out but not in, keeping a warm and dry interior.

Available in either apex or pent style roof with a choice of door positions. Both roof styles have a minimum internal height of 1981mm/6’6” so head room won’t be a concern. Apex style has a felt-tile covering whilst the pent style has rubber covering. The standard exterior finish consists of 2 coats of a Thorndown paint system in a choice of colours which can also be mixed to RAL codes.

What is 'Unsorted Grade' timber?

“Unsorted grade timber is grades 1 to 4 (the top 4) which at Frenchmoor we further grade in house to achieve a virtually knot free cladding. Gorgeous with an oil finish showing the grain detail or perfect for a painted finish with no knots that may bleed sap.”

With plenty of colours to choose from

Apex

Pent Roof

Faux Slate Roof

Natural slates are both characterful and minimalistic. However, they are by far one of the heaviest roofing materials and therefore unsuitable for sheds and garden buildings. Our faux roof slates are designed for use on timber outbuildings and they have the look of a natural slate but without the weight. Durable, high impact resistant and importantly unlike real slate won’t crack. They offer a truly unique appearance and unrivalled longevity with a 40 year warranty. Plus at the end of their life can be recycled.

There are a range of 7 colours to choose from!

Cedar Shingles

These Premium grade 1 ‘Blue Label’ Western Red Cedar shingles have one of the lowest carbon footprints of any widely used building product, this environmentally friendly option offers a high degree of thermal insulation to your outbuilding and a thermal insulation value eight times that of concrete.

The lightweight structure allows easy handling and transportation while resisting damage caused by moisture, decay and insects. It is also low maintenance after installation and maintains high aesthetic integrity. These are knot free shingles which we secure using stainless fixings to certified battens. They give a beautiful look to a roof from when first installed to when weathered to a natural silver grey colour. The life span is up to +30 years.

Windows

Guttering

Residential 100mm/4″ half-round gutter with down pipe. Important option in aiding a low maintenance timber building by reducing water contact from roof run-off. Water butts can also be installed if required.

Osmo Natural Oil

Available in an opaque or translucent finish Osmo offers a genuine top quality product which doesn’t flake, peel or blister. Easy future maintenance, just ensure the surface is clean and dry and apply another thin coat. Choice of colours plus can be mixed to RAL codes.

Insulate & Ply-line

Once your building has been erected we can install 50mm (2″) Celotex to the walls and roof which we then cover with a hardwood faced plywood. If electrics are being installed we undertake after the 1st fix. With regards to insulation of the floor we install this at the factory, priced separately.
