There is no denying that the roof is the most important structure in any home. If you were to forget about any essential repairs to your roof you would certainly know about it quite quickly. Aber Roof Truss provides their clients with reliable, highly beneficial roof trusses and bespoke designs. Roofs have been designed and built for many thousands of years, by various types of people all around the world. Every single culture has its own variation on roof design, but they all do the same job, as everyone needs a roof over their heads.
There are a variety of truss designs to choose from, so let’s discuss the various designs and see which one may suit your needs. The decision to pick a single truss design is likely to be difficult. A generalised classification of roof trusses consists of two main groups, Flat and Pitched trusses.
Flat Trusses
A major problem with outdated roof designs using older construction methods is the fact that they are completely flat. Flat roofs are predominantly found in much drier countries, where the necessity for protection against harsher weather isn’t as demanding. A flat roof would be susceptible to collapse due to a severe collection of rain. Construction designers simply did not know any better back then, and the construction of a flat roof was considerably cheaper for customers. Flat trusses are now designed with weather in mind and include a slight slope to effectively avoid the issue of collapsing.
Pitched Trusses
Pitched trusses get their names from the inclined design of the truss. There is no set inclination measurement when designing these trusses and the steepness of each one can vary from one design to the next. The variance in you can achieve with pitched truss designs is what makes them so popular. There is room to design a truly bespoke truss that is unique to your property and nobody else’s. The type of materials used for pitch trusses will vary due to the slope, as some may create durability or drainage issues. Roof trusses are an important aspect of home design, as are kitchen spaces and concrete worktops.
