Services
Roof trusses, or trussed rafters as they are sometimes referred to, are used in the majority of new housing in the UK and Ireland and are increasingly being used in commercial and industrial settings. So why are trusses so popular? Firstly, a trussed roof is a fully engineered structure delivering a practical and versatile roofing solution.
Glued laminated timber, Glulam for short, is a high specification engineered timber product made by gluing together strength graded timber laminations to make up larger sections and distribute the natural defects evenly throughout the volume. The laminations are finger jointed to allow long lengths to be formed.
Easy access for the installation and maintenance of the services in a floor zone is the clear advantage of the Posi-Joist flooring system. With the move towards the building of more sustainable homes, an increasing number of mechanical ventilation and heat recovery (MVHR) systems are being installed in the UK and Ireland, driving more and more architects and specifiers to look for a versatile open web flooring solution.
