Case Study: Carmel, Flintshire

Location

Carmel, Holywell, North Wales

Application

We provided attic style trusses to a large new build dwelling, providing a master bedroom with en-suite and an additional bedroom, all within the roof structure. To accommodate a sprinkler system across the first floor, we suggested improvising the attic trusses to incorporate a metal web floor system.

This provided ample space within the floor structure to house the sprinkler system and other house services. It also provides a robust floor structure with limited floor deflection compared to traditional solid timber joists.

Materials Supplied

Attic trusses with metal web bottom chords.
