New Timber Roof – Harvey Tiles

Farmhouse Kerslake – Belford district

Old time farmhouse charm captured with exposed roof trusses & lightweight Harvey steel Elite tiles.

We do roofing projects all over South Africa and just when you think you have seen it all you get a request from a client in the Belford district to erect a roof for an old (new) purposely build sandstone farmhouse.

Capturing the old time romance of an historic South African farm house the “Kerslake Farmhouse” boasts a simple yet elegant sand stone house with large sunny windows and all round “stoep”. The modern interior and lay out compliment the look & feel of the house and finishing it off with exposed trusses on the “stoep” & lightweight steel Harvey Elite tiles covering was just the cherry on to with a hint of nostalgia.
