West roof plane receives SIP panels


The crew from PanelWrights, LLC, a subcontractor to Rockwell General Contractors on the Frederick Visitor Center project, sets the structural insulated panels into place spanning the building's original heavy timber trusses.  SIP panel installation on two of the L-shaped building's roof planes, south facing and west facing, is now complete.  The old roof was temporarily left in place opposite each plane that was cleared off, providing lateral support for the trusses until the SIP panels are fastened.  Still to come: east facing and finally north facing roof planes receive SIP panels, the visible interior faces of the roof will be covered with tongue & groove boards, a standing seam metal roof will be installed on top of the SIPs.

  1. Seeing each panel installed one at a time is very exciting. Hehe! You've got a great choice on the roof materials, John. How's the building now? I hope it's still at its best. :)
