Truss type


Recommended Posts

Would I be better off going for a raised heel truss roof rather than a standard double W truss in terms detailing insulation at eaves. Am thinking that it would be alot easier get 400mm of mineral wool to marry up to cavity insulation with heel truss than the other way also anyone use a raised heel on a hip roof?

As long as the truss supplier can make the hips as well. The problem is the height above plate being soo high that you would need 800 deep timber to hand cut it!

 

I do like them for the reason you mention, makes insulating and ventilating over wall plate a lot easier.
