Review

"invaluable to architects, housebuilders, roof carpenters, building control officers, trussed rafter manufacturers and students of building technology."

PERSPECTIVE, Journal of the Royal Society of Ulster Architects

Product Description

Containing over 150 superb and detailed construction drawings, Roof Construction and Loft Conversion covers:

∗ cut roofs

∗ bolted truss roofs

∗ trussed rafter roofs

∗ roof windows and dormers for lofts

∗ trimmed openings

∗ ventilation
A major section deals with loft–to–attic–room conversions, giving guidance on planning procedures, as well as dealing with structural matters and specifying conversion work.

The Third Edition takes account of the design and construction changes required by BS 5268 Part 2:1996 and Part 3:1998. It introduces the reader to the forthcoming Eurocode requirements and includes updated information on the various truss plate systems.

The book will prove invaluable to architects, housebuilders, roof carpenters, building control officers, trussed rafter manufacturers and students of building technology.

4.0 out of 5 stars An informative resource., 23 Aug 2001

By	noel_sharpe@hotmail.com (West Sussex) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Roof Construction and Loft Conversion (Paperback)

Overall a good introduction to the subject, but if you are looking for a DIY guide to loft conversion, then look elsewhere. This book is packed with instructive diagrams throughout and gives a thorough overview of roof construction past and present. The only thing I feel could improve this book is a more thorough treatment of the loft conversion section.

4.0 out of 5 stars A comprehensive guide, 23 Jan 2009

By	Foxylock (Ireland) - See all my reviews (TOP 500 REVIEWER)

This review is from: Roof Construction and Loft Conversion (Paperback)

I think this book is more suitable for the professional and student rather than homeowner. The reason I say this is that one could become bogged down in the intricacies of roof work and the illustrations provided are diagrams only no photos. But as a roof construction manual this is pretty good particularly from a truss roof point of view.

You will find in detail : Traditional cut roof construction, bolted truss roof construction, construction of trussed rafter roofs, truss plate systems, roof construction detailing, loft conversions, obligations and solutions. Its a fairly comprehensive view of roofing systems but good value for money.
