The 18 Curved Atek beams were used as an alternative to curved steel sections. Our engineer carried out the relevant static calculations for these beams and offered the client the very best timber solution which was economical compared to similar structural materials.

 We sent the beams so site with the birds mouth already cut in as to limit the time spent on the installation. This curved roof done in timber as apposed to steel can be left exposed inside adding to the interior of the house. 

The project was constructed by Tyrone Timberframes in Omagh.

Call us and let us offer you a Curved Atek beams solution for your project no matter what size.

Over 30m3 of Atek Beams was  used in this job which was completed by Clarke LTD. In Mid 2009.

The Beams were supplied in long length and re-worked by Clarke’s timber frame section to form the Gull-wing roof sections. Atek Beams were used for the rafters, main structural spine and the circular columns. All the metal brackets were by Clarke LTD.

The concept of  light and space inside the building with clear spans and open spaces is enhanced by the use of Atek Glulam Beams making this living space a very pleasant one.

Working closely with the Architect and Engineers the project was realised an a very short period of time and was on site less than 5 weeks after order. The contractor was very happy with the quality of the craftsmanship and the installation went without a hitch.

The main contractor had to sling the trusses onto previously positioned posts like in the pictures above. When all the trusses were in position the purlins were attached to finish.

Atek Glulam Trusses and heavy Glulam ridge beams and purlins were prominent features in this new build in Galway. Three king post trusses in the main house and two king post trusses in the garage made up the main structural components along with the purlins and ridge.  A covered walkway enveloped the house and this again was made from Atek Posts and beams. In this modern contemporary build Glulam was the preferred material as it met the clients brief of structural but visually pleasing material. 

More images will be posted when this job is complete…..
