W Truss Attic Conversion

By replacing the roof system and often raising the ridge line we can create comfortable spacious and beautiful interiors.

W truss attic conversion.

Our efficient process entirely replaces the roof within days for minimum cost disruption and inconvenience. Attic conversions are now possible by replacing the truss rafters with a shaped trusses or horizontal beams which in return create additional space. The conversion from a trussed roof to a trussless roof simply involves the redistribution of the roofs weight from the trusses to beams running from gable to gable. Replacing standard w trusses creates useable loft space for a loft conversion.

Truss rafters are arguably one of the biggest perceived hurdles when it comes to loft conversions. Before work can begin a structural engineer will calculate the size of the steels required. With the help of an experienced loft conversion company truss rafters are no obstacle. The w shaped trusses are replaced with a shaped trusses or horizontal beams.

It s a 12 12 roof so that s a good 11 at the ridge which even with new floor joists and a 5 knee wall should be plenty of room for a nice space. The role of the horizontal beam is to tie the truss together and carry the load that would otherwise be sustained by the support and vertical timber also known as the king post. The attic space is 22 on the side parallel to the trusses 28 on the other side. This process involves the installation and use of steel beams.

The trusses are double cantilever style.
