Skylark House
Introduction:
This stunning 460m2 rural property with three bedrooms, a swimming pool, and spectacular views of the Scottish Highlands.
JJI roofs are still unusual in new construction; they are made to exact specifications with high-quality solid timber flanges glued to an OSB web.
Problem:
For the project to have a sleek, contemporary look, a JJI mono pitched roof was necessary. From the very beginning, Pasquill was involved in the design of the residence and offered advice on the details, metalwork, and further design issues when needed.
Solution:
The pair of JJ-I rafters and glulam beams was the perfect answer for the dwelling's unusual form and lengthy span. The glued laminated timber has an ultra-modern appearance and an amazing strength-to-weight ratio, while the JJ-I rafters are shrink and warp resistant and comply with Part E sound regulations.To provide a cost-effective option for the customer and expedite delivery, it was decided that the JJ-I would be provided uncut.
Client's Words:
“It was great to be in involved in such a brilliant project. The collaboration between the whole team involved worked really well from the start and has resulted in a stunning home in a stunning location.”

Glulam Beams - Glulam's tensile properties make it ideal for structures with lengthy spans and load-bearing widths, like bridges. It is a very robust material used in load-bearing constructions where visual appeal is crucial. Glulam's flexibility as a structural construction material is appreciated across all market segments. Pasquill has expanded its product and service offering to include Glulam in response to rising demand for off-site manufacturing and sustainable building. Glulam is a natural, eco-friendly, adaptable, and renewable construction material.

JJI-Joists - JJI-joists are beams having I or H-shaped cross sections. The horizontal pieces are flanges, and the vertical element is known as the web.
James Jones & Sons manufactures them to Pasquill's precise specifications, utilizing high-grade solid timber flanges glued to an OSB web.
Using JJI-Joists is a particularly effective way to handle both bending and shear in the plane of the web; its better strength-to-weight ratio allows for greater spans and simpler handling.
