Open-plan homes are a popular and desirable choice amongst many. They’re light, airy, and create additional space which would otherwise be taken up by load bearing walls.

Roof trusses are a cost-effective roofing method when creating an open plan living area, and for a very good number of reasons.

A roof truss is a triangular framework of timbers which are joined together by strong metal components, acting as a strong support for a roof. Roof trusses are available in a range of styles and designs which have been developed to suit a variety of building designs.

Typically, roof trusses are bespoke made to your specific building requirements. Roof truss manufacturers will typically perform a site survey at your property before measuring up and creating the design of the truss.

Choosing a bespoke roof truss means that it will be designed to support the roof of your home specifically. Structural issues that crop up over time within properties can become very costly, and so it’s best to ensure that potential risks are kept to an absolute minimum beforehand by selecting the appropriate roofing support for your home.

Since roof trusses are designed, manufactured and delivered to your property ready to be installed – this saves a large amount of time, which is fantastic if you’re hoping to move into your home as soon as possible.

A typical roof truss installation can be done within a days work, cutting down your labour costs and speeding up the building process massively.

Roof trusses are not only beneficial for creating open-plan spaces. If you’re looking to increase the space within your loft, attic trusses can add another level to your home at a fraction of the cost of alternative methods.

Roof trusses are also an environmentally friendly choice as they are made from timber, the only truly renewable source. Many roof truss manufacturers use FSC certified timber and recycle their off cuts, reducing their impact on the planet.
