Terminology
Our Terminology
Buying a garden building can easily become confusing and daunting, especially when faced with all the technical terms. so let us break down the details for you and explain what we're really talking about to help you understand our products better.
Eaves
Eaves are the lower edges of the roof which overhang the face of the wall, designed to protect the building from water damage.
Ridge
The ridge of the building is the peak in which two opposing roof planes meet, creating the tallest part of the building.
Finial
The finial is a decorative edition to your building that sits at the highest point, giving your building the perfect finishing touch.
Roof Overhang
The roof overhang is the section of the roof that overhangs the face of the wall. Often this is only a matter of centimetres designed to protect the building though in some cases it is larger, creating a sheltered area.
Facias
The flat pieces of timber that are designed to cover the end of rafters, joins and other fittings, providing an attractive, smooth finish.
Windows
The windows to the building allow light to flood in. Within our range we use several types of glazing materials, learn about these here!
Internal Framing
The internal framing is designed to support the entire building and also holds the timber cladding that forms the walls.
Cladding
Cladding forms the walls of the building by fixing to internal framing. We use several type of cladding construction. Learn about this here!
Floor Joists
Floor joists provide additional strength and stiffness to the floor above, while allowing air to flow beneath the building, helping to protect against from rot and decay.
Door
The hinged barrier at the front of the building, used for accessing your belongings. Our range offers various door options including single, double and bi-folding.
Veranda
Usually enclosed by railing and under the cover of the roof overhang, the veranda is a stylish, premium and practical addition to your garden building.
