Scissor and Raised-Tie Trusses
Back to Trussed Rafter

Using Raised-Tie trusses it is possible to raise the
room height above the height of the wallplate. It is possible to manufacture
raised-tie trusses up to 1m above wallplates, although there are other factors
that can affect this (600mm is the maximum for most applications).
Scissor trusses also allow the room height to be
increased but only in the centre of the truss. This application usually works
where a raised-tie truss would not due to the ceiling-tie fixed to the
wallplates.
There are other truss profiles that can be used to
raise the room height above the height of the wallpales. |
