Steadmans manufactured and supplied all the building
envelope materials for Howie Forest Product’s impressive new
£15M Kenmuir Sawmill on the outskirts of Dalbeattie in south
west Scotland. Installed by steelwork and cladding
contractor, T.A. Kirkpatrick & Co, these Plastisol colour
coated materials comprise 10,000 square metres of roofing,
cladding and vented cladding sheets together with a wide
range of matching flashings. |
 |
|
Built by main contractor, Story
Construction Ltd, this 317 metre long state-of-the-art
sawmill was designed and specified for functionality by
Peter Ross of Howie Forest Products. Peter worked closely
with consulting engineers, Barron Wright Partnership Ltd who
handled the project’s structural elements and all the
detailing, |
|
“Sawmills traditionally generate
a good deal of fine sawdust which tend to clog up guttering
systems. Although much less inclined to create dust, this
new sawmill has been cleverly designed without using
gutters,” says Howie’s Peter Ross. “Instead, the rainwater
runs off the roof, round the curved eaves and down into a
special pebble-covered soakaway system to an underground
drainage system before being filtered though on-site reed
beds.” |
|
Supplied in AS35/1000 profile,
the materials include over 6,000 sq metres of factory made
LPCB Approved PIR core insulated panels and nearly 4,000 sq
metres of single and twin skin cladding sheets complete with
spacers and mineral wool insulation for site assembly.
|
|
The roofing sheets are in
Goosewing Grey to BS10A05 whilst the external vertical
cladding sheets and wall panels are in a contrasting Olive
Green to BS12B27 specified to blend with the surrounding
countryside. Steadmans also supplied 600 crimped curved
eaves sections (each 2 metres long) plus 1,300 linear metres
of bespoke flashings such as barge boards, soffits, gutters,
corners, ridges, window sills and jambs all matched to the
roofing or vertical cladding colours. |
|
In addition to manufacturing
roofing, cladding and bespoke flashing materials for
industrial, commercial and agricultural applications,
Steadmans also supply a full range of cold rolled purlins,
side rails and accessories for the structural steelwork
market. With manufacturing, storage and administration
facilities all located on one 50,000 sq metre site, the
company is very flexible and able to satisfy customers’
quick turnaround requirements. |
