Evalon Tops Off Spectacular Honeymoon Tree House

For the construction of a multi-level tree house in a 250 year old oak tree in Devon, the flexibility of the Evalonﾮ V single ply waterproofing membrane and the fine detailing of Eva metal edge trims from ICB met the aesthetics of this unusual treetop world whilst at the same time offering proven and reliable waterproofing.

Designed in and around the branches of a massive oak tree in the grounds of the Fox & Hounds Country Hotel in Chumleigh, the interior of the two level house is a warren of interconnected rooms. To protect the treehouse from the elements, the design and build team at Bower House Construction require a flexible roofing system that could be installed between the branches and was also resistant to rotting levels and moss.

‘Evalon V is a very good product and proved ideal for the complex detailing of this bespoke project,’ commented Simon Parfett, Director of Bower House Construction. ‘With a major roof flowing into a stepped lower roof, the flexibility of the single ply membrane allowed for the complicated detailing to be solved.’

Alwitra Evalon® V is just one product in a wide portfolio of highly engineered products making up ICB’s Ultimate Roofing System. This includes fine quality flashings, edge trims, roof lights, rainwater outlets and every component for extensive or intensive green roofs. Every ICB roof is protected by a comprehensive guarantee that gives cover for up to twenty years.

With this stunning treehouse now ready for guests, ICB has ensured a long term watertight seal whilst at the same time making a significant contribution to the overall aesthetic appearance of this unusual bridal suite.
