Decorating wooden houses – our area of expertise!
Over the past 35 years, we have built up expertise in decorating wooden houses, especially Swiss houses. You can use this if you want to build a new one or restore one!
One of the characteristic features of the Swiss house is the saddle roof with the large eaves and visible, carved beams. For this, we supply a simple variant where the rafter legs are screwed under the cornice, on a modern roof structure. These were called rafter legs from the old days. The roof structure also includes the elaborate gable spire and the spearhead below. The milling in the ridge – the carpenter's delight itself – is an important trademark of the Swiss houses. Here, beautiful, imaginative fillings are inserted between the structural elements. Aanesland Treindustri tailors several varieties of carpenter's delight and decoration to all kinds of angles and dimensions.
Aanesland also produces beautiful window decorations. Supplied as complete sets, tailored to your windows. Please state the external width and height of the window frame upon request. As floor dividers, we produce notched boards, pointed boards and roof edge strips.
Ridges and ridge beams
Ridges and ridge beams are part of the roof structure. A ridge is a horizontal, load-bearing beam that runs parallel to the ridge. The ridge beam is the ridge that is placed at the very top of the ridge. Solid spruce or pine is usually used for ridges. On request, we can make two flat bearings for beams on the ridge beam and one flat bearing for beams on the ridges. To reduce cracking during drying, we often cut drying grooves along the wood.
We can turn ridges in long lengths with a diameter of up to Ø65 cm.
Spruce is most suitable for ridges as it has the most "elasticity" and straightens itself after being exposed to heavy snow loads. Pine is also used, but has less ability to straighten after bending under heavy snow loads.
We supply roof and ridge beams for both houses and cabins, and offer several designs:
• Cylindrically turned beams with the same diameter throughout.
• Turned beams that follow the natural cone of the wood.
• Hand-planed beams with a rougher and more natural surface.
All beams can be made with recesses or notches for passage through walls or other connection points.
