Review
"A thorough rundown of the various types of roof currently in use, with easy –to–read diagrams to make sense of it all … useful." (Build It, December 2008)
"A thorough rundown of the various types of roof currently in use, with easy –to–read diagrams to make sense of it all … particularly useful if you have a tricky space to convert." (Build It, December 2008)
"easy to read and concise … an excellent book" (Building Engineer)
Product Description
Full of detailed construction drawings, this book covers cut roofs, bolted truss roofs, trussed rafter roofs, trimmed openings and 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 Fourth Edition features a new chapter covering the growing number of engineered timber components available in the house building industry. The use of I beams and roof cassettes is detailed for roof and room–in–the–roof construction. The text has been fully updated to current standards and features additional detailed construction drawings. The chapters on attic conversion and construction have been expanded and a new attic conversion decision flow chart added.
The book will prove invaluable to architects, house builders, roof carpenters, building control officers, trussed rafter manufacturers and students of building technology.
