“A house is not a home unless it contains food and fire for the mind as well as the body, and is a place where you can be yourself and relax. But a good roof over your head is the first thing you need to create that sanctuary.” – Dawn Angelique
The Challenge
The native copper standing seam roof on the large cabin presented several challenges, including the intricate design of intersection valleys and prow gables, which required precise engineering and expert installation. The steep pitches demanded careful attention to detail to ensure proper water runoff and prevent leaks. Additionally, working with native copper involved managing its natural expansion and contraction, which required meticulous planning to maintain a seamless and durable finish. Overall, the complexities of the roof’s geometry and material added to the project’s difficulty, highlighting the skill and expertise needed to achieve a successful installation.
The Result
The final results of the native copper standing seam roof on the large cabin are nothing short of exceptional. The intricate design, including the intersection valleys and prow gables, was executed with precision, resulting in a roof that not only enhances the cabin’s architectural charm but also offers unparalleled functionality. The steep pitches effectively manage water runoff and prevent snow buildup, while the native copper adds a distinctive, timeless aesthetic that beautifully patinas over time. The meticulous installation has ensured a seamless, durable roof that will provide lasting protection and continue to blend harmoniously with the natural surroundings.
