Says Alan Simpkin, of Arcline Architecture Ltd: “The clients wanted a classic, timeless home that wouldn’t date with time so gable forms and cedar cladding mixed with long Premier Estate bricks were chosen. We needed a roof that was sympathetic to the coastal area and being in the Far North District Council zone required low reflectivity and natural colours. The roof needed to be long lasting and sustainable with a good warranty.”
Telfer Roofing is the Gerard distributor north of Whangarei and a significant feature of the home is the Gerard CF Shake profile selected for the 35° pitched roof. The CF range is suitable for all wind zones in New Zealand and the profile is designed with no visible fasteners and these are fully concealed from the weather.
“The Gerard CF Shake was the best choice and with its slate appearance it really complements the architecture of the home”, says Alan Simpkin.
“The varying tones of the roof blend in well with the surroundings and the imported large palms complete the natural, sub tropical landscaping around the home. The CF concealed fixings are great which we consider to be important in this sea spray zone – less holes in the roof and none of the fixing holes are exposed to the weather or are visible.
“The clients wanted a roof with a generous pitch and this was a great opportunity for Jono and Janine who own Telfer Roofing to show off Gerard’s CF Shake profile”.
The generous expanse of the shake profile on the roof is one of the home’s special attributes and as Jonathon adds: “You see a lot of the roof which we are both pleased to feature given the interest being taken in our home as the subdivision grows”.
