Removing roof trusses loft conversion.

Looking back i was very lucky in that my roof had an unusually high 47 degree pitch and so there was lots of head room. If the roof slope is steeper than 9 inches in 12 inches of run it doesn t take much width to end up with a nice room 12 feet wide with an 8 foot. Truss rafters are arguably one of the biggest perceived hurdles when it comes to loft conversions. Our very own ecotrus system enables truss lofts to be opened up to its full potential all in 1 day.

Attic trusses have a rectangular shape inside each truss. Room in roof trusses can be craned into place to form the shell of a ready made new loft room with the insulation placed above the rafters for maximum thermal efficiency. Trussed lofts are a modern roof design that utilise a timber inner props that make the loft difficult to move around in and challenging to convert. Walthamstow homes which were built after 1960 might well have roofs supported by truss rafters but they shouldn t put you off of converting your loft space.

The sad fact is your builder could have installed attic trusses over this garage for just slightly more than what the existing trusses cost. Often loft conversion projects can end up being a disappointment as on completion the owner finds out that roof height is very limited and as a result the space ends up being rather pokey. The ecotrus patent pending system is award winning and a worlds first in engineering using galvanized beams creating a super strong lightweight structure inside the rafters taking up no valuable space without using any heavy rsj.
