Render / Veranda

[junglejim]

Hi. Hoping someone can offer some advice on this. I’m going to be glazing an overhang section adjoining the external of a timber frame. I’m trying to work out detail above the glass. Beneath the glass will be straightforward; battens, render board, render bit above the glazing the render board will fix directly to the timber studs added for reinforcement. This will need to run right up to the roof edge as there’s not enough thickness for render + barge board but don’t see this being a problem as I will have verge flashing. My main problem is working out the junction between render and glass. Presumably need to add a lead flashing horizontally on top of the timber . Render board to overlap lead flashing with bell drip. The flashing can then overlap the top of the glazing.

 Any advice or thoughts on this. Ideally I’d like the extra timber stud not to come out as far but carpenters did this to provide better support for the glass… there is a central rafter still to be fitted to split the gap ie; for 2 panes of glass.

 

grateful for any advice on this.

 Thanks

Is it only me finding it v had to reconcile the text and the pics? I think what you are saying is that the hole we can see in the roof will accommodate a fixed roof-light in 2 panes? The details such as:

I can't reconcile with the pictures.

 

Watch out also for the lead staining the glass when rain runs over it.

 

I hope I am not being unhelpful, but my little brain needs a bit more explanation to make full sense of this. The way the battens are cut suggests the glazing will sit below the roof-line, but then it will 'pond' at the bottom, so I must be wrong. Will there be an additional softwood frame for the glazing to sit in *above* the existing rafters?

Thanks yes you’re correct. Additional timber will be added to bring the glazing up to tile height. I’m contemplating whether to render above (as it will be rendered below) or whether to just clad for ease but either way a lead flashing will need to be added horizontally to bridge the joint between wall and window. I hadn’t thought about staining but pictures seen show similar to what I’m thinking. Note compared to the attached image the difference is mine will butt up against the back wall
