Building a home and would love to know more about this roof and the stone used on the exterior. Also, where can the little finials on the roof be purchased? Thanks!

Hello. this is a custom design and built home in the Toronto , Ontario area. The roofing material is 18" 2- ply tapersawn, #1 Perfection cedar shingles, 5 1/2" to weather (expose). The stone veneer is Premium grade, Indiana limestone with a quarry face finish. Free free to contact us if you have any additional questions...Regards, Taylor Design Group.

What type of room is inside the turret? I'm thinking of having a turret in my house but not sure what to put in there.

Within the turret of this design is the main staircase that spirals up from the basement to the second floor. there's also a secondary traditional staircase towards the rear of this home. Regards, Taylor Design Group.
