Llangaron dutch Barn

Llangron Dutch Barn

Overview

The Llangranog Dutch Barn project is a practical, hard-wearing rural structure designed to provide generous covered space with a clean, modern look. We transformed this agricultural space into a modern luxury holiday let with 12 ensuite bedrooms.

Set in a coastal/rural location near Llangranog, this build focuses on durability, weather protection, and efficient construction. The curved roof shape helps shed wind and rain effectively while creating a bright, spacious interior.

What We Supplied

RD SIPs supported this project with a supply approach focused on speed, accuracy, and dependable performance.

  • Structural insulated panels (SIPs) supplied to suit the project design

  • Panels cut and prepared to help reduce site time

  • Clear guidance on installation and sequencing

  • Support to help ensure a tidy fit and reliable thermal performance where required

If you’d like, we can tailor this section to match exactly what was included in your quote (roof only, walls and roof, full kit, etc.).

Key Features

  • Curved roof profile for a modern Dutch barn look and excellent weather handling

  • Steel frame structure for strength and long-term stability

  • Large clear internal space with minimal internal supports

  • Fast build potential when panels are prepared correctly and installed in sequence

  • Neat, consistent finish with accurate panel sizing and clean junction details

Why SIPs Work Well Here

SIPs are a great fit for buildings like this because they combine structure and insulation in one product. That means fewer layers to manage on site, quicker progress, and a more predictable finish.

Benefits can include:

  • Improved thermal efficiency (where the barn is being enclosed/conditioned)

  • Reduced drafts compared with many traditional build-ups

  • Faster enclosure of the structure, helping protect the build from weather

  • Cleaner, more controlled installation with less on-site waste

Build Notes

Every site is different, but the key to a smooth SIP install is preparation.

  • Confirm the base is level and square before installation

  • Dry-fit where possible to avoid alignment issues

  • Use the correct adhesives/foams and fixings for SIP construction

  • Plan lifting/handling so panels stay clean and undamaged
