W Truss Attic Conversion

If the roof slope is steeper than 9 inches in 12 inches of run it doesn t take much width to end up with a nice room 12 feet wide with an 8 foot.

W truss attic conversion.

Attic trusses have a rectangular shape inside each truss. Replacing standard w trusses creates useable loft space for a loft conversion. 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 trusses are double cantilever style.

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. The sad fact is your builder could have installed attic trusses over this garage for just slightly more than what the existing trusses cost. Attic conversions are now possible by replacing the truss rafters with a shaped trusses or horizontal beams which in return create additional space. The attic space is 22 on the side parallel to the trusses 28 on the other side.

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