Alumasc Aluminium Lindab Helps Create

Gutters Fit to a Tee Rural Haven

Award winning architectural practice Pocknell
Studio were tasked with renovating deteriorating,
redundant, two-storey structures in addition to
creating new field barns to create spectacular
accommodation for a fabulous countryside
holiday retreat in Bishop’s Stortford.

This architect has a long-standing preference
for using Lindab’s Rainline for their projects, so
it was no surprise when the galvanised steel
guttering and downpipes were specified for the
North and South Barns. The silver metallic colour
option was a perfect selection for the hipped roof
design with black and white palette.

The field bands are finished in a contemporary
take on the traditional black Essex barn and
designed to fit into a typical country environment.
The brick and timber clad buildings are finished
with not only Lindab Rainline rainwater system
but also Lindab Seamline standing seam roofing
system.
The valley roof and staggered facade design
was a particular challenge which required careful
detailing and installation to ensure steep falls
which allow rapid drainage.
