Now that the Heirloom team has insured that all is level and square, the final process of installing the stress-skin panels begins. This process involves sealing the frame from our harsh climate making it an energy efficient structure.
1.
All panels are pre-ordered and ready to install once the frame is up.
2.
We start by installing the wall panels, which are fastened on the exterior of the frame with long spikes.
3.
The panels are joined together by wooden splines, which are screwed together. Then holes are drilled along the seams to which foam is injected to seal the panels.
4.
The roof is done in the same manner. However, if the client prefers a wood ceiling then tongue & groove boards are installed first. The panels will then be installed over the wood ceiling.
5.
We also cut out the window openings and doorways to prepare for eventual installation.
6.
The exterior is now ready for the type of finish the homeowner has chosen.
