WALL HEIGHTS

Semi-smooth texture is neither perfectly smooth nor rough. Hand Hewn is a very rugged and unique handcrafted style which looks like a modern interpretation of old fashioned Adz-style peel. We are known for having ultra-rugged hand hewning. Edge worn edge treatment transforms the square edge of a timber to resemble the timbers found in countryside barns. This is only available in flat products, and it can be used in conjunction with semi-smooth or hand hewn at an additional cost.

ROOF SYSTEM

HOUSE ROOF SYSTEM
The roof system is plan specific and dependent on what is structurally required. The most popular choice for this series is either a rafter roof system or an engineered roof truss. Engineered roof trusses allow for heavy snow loads, and longer spans with fewer posts in the house. The larger cavity of a roof truss allows for plenty of space to add extra insulation. Roof trusses come in many combinations of shapes, allowing for ultimate flexibility during the design and construction of the home. Although not commonly used at Golden Eagle, a 2" x 12" rafter roof system is used in many areas of the country. The affordability and ease of on-the-job customization make 2" x 12" rafters a common choice for less complex roof systems. Room-in-attic trusses are available above the garage. The structure of these trusses allow for additional storage or living space (per specific plan or engineer's choice based on home design). Spread web storage trusses are also available above the garage for extra storage potential (per specific plan or engineer's choice based on home design). If you're comparing plans online, then ask us what the exact roof specifications are for that home.

ROOF SYSTEM

HOUSE ROOF SYSTEM
The roof system is plan specific and dependent on what is structurally required. The most popular choice for this series is either a rafter roof system or an engineered roof truss. Engineered roof trusses allow for heavy snow loads, and longer spans with fewer posts in the house. The larger cavity of a roof truss allows for plenty of space to add extra insulation. Roof trusses come in many combinations of shapes, allowing for ultimate flexibility during the design and construction of the home. Although not commonly used at Golden Eagle, a 2" x 12" rafter roof system is used in many areas of the country. The affordability and ease of on-the-job customization make 2" x 12" rafters a common choice for less complex roof systems. Room-in-attic trusses are available above the garage. The structure of these trusses allow for additional storage or living space (per specific plan or engineer's choice based on home design). Spread web storage trusses are also available above the garage for extra storage potential (per specific plan or engineer's choice based on home design). If you're comparing plans online, then ask us what the exact roof specifications are for that home.
