LVL - Creating wide open spaces like never before!
LVL stands for Laminated Veneer Lumber,
an engineered wood product that uses
multiple layers of thin wood assembled
with adhesives.
It may not sound sexy but this building innovation is now
allowing space and visual effects that previously would
have been costly, or even impossible, to achieve.
It is inspiring architects, designers, builders and end users
to reach for new heights.
It is consistent, reliable and saves time and labour. LVL is
available in longer lengths than regular timber. It can also
bear greater loads over wider spans, making it a very cost-
effective, and attractive, building solution.
As a pioneer in its use and application, Customkit is able to
deliver a whole host of different ‘looks’ and environmental
features. From a distinctive ‘rural/rustic’ house, to more of
an ‘urban’ or ‘industrial’ effect that more and more people
are transporting out into the country, LVL has become a
growing feature of Customkit Homes.
Customkit’s production manager Kevin Taylor says the
company specialises in board and batten buildings with a
unique timber portal system. The portals are made from “The beauty of it also is that you can literally ‘use it or lose it’ as a feature. We find
people can create the style they want by making a feature of the portal legs/gussets

In architecture, a cupola is a relatively small,
most often dome-like, tall structure on top of a
building. Often used to provide a lookout or to
admit light and air, it usually crowns a larger
roof or dome. ... Barns often have cupolas for
ventilation.
What is a Cupola?
A cupola is a small tower or dome-like
feature projecting from the top of a barn
roof. Ranging from large and ornate to
small and simple, cupolas typically have
three parts: the base, the vents and the
cap. The size of the base is determined
by the slope or pitch of the barn roof. In
the middle, the vents can be windows or
slats designed to let light, air or gas pass
through. Screens can be added to keep out
insects and animals. The caps of cupolas
are usually designed to have a square,
octagonal, bell-like or other distinctive
geometric shape. They are also often
topped with a finial or weathervane.
