Construction Features


Portal Frame Connector Plates

The portal ridge and knee connector brackets are pressed from thick zinc galvanised steel and are fixed through pre-punched holes with high tensile bolts to ensure the strongest possible connection.

 
Purlins and Girts

The purlins and girts (the members that the roofing and wall cladding are fixed to) are fixed to the sides of the portal frame using high performance Tech-screws and bolts.
This method of fixing is not only strong but it means that you have more usable space inside your building.

Roof Lights
Personal Access Door (PA Door)

Fitted as standard on all buildings, 2 per Bay allowing extra natural light into your building.

Our doors are built to last and come complete with security lock.

   
Roof Pitch
Flashings

The buildings have a standard 11 degree pitch roof which is not only strong but is aesthetically pleasing. Other pitches are available.

All door openings and corners are protected with coloured plasticol coated 0.7mm galvanised steel, roll formed flashings to ensure a neat and weather tight finish. The edges of the flashings are double folded to ensure there are no exposed sharp edges.

   
Roof and Wall Cladding
Doors

The roof and wall cladding is roll formed from high tensile steel. Your roof and wall cladding are galvanised with a 200 micron plasticol coating in a wide range of colours. This method ensures a life expectancy of over 40 years.

Ecosse offers a wide range of doors including roller and sectional doors in sizes to fit most applications.
Doors can be fitted into the side or the gable end of standard portal buildings. Please advise Ecosse of any particular door clearance size requirements you may have.

   
Gutters & Barges
The gutters and barges are roll formed in a unique profile that not only adds strength but also provides an attractive finish to your roof.  The gutters and barges are available in a wide range of colours to compliment your building.
