Description

Full of detailed construction drawings, this book covers cut roofs, bolted truss roofs, trussed rafter roofs, trimmed openings and ventilation. A major section deals with loft to attic room conversions, giving guidance on planning procedures, as well as dealing with structural matters and specifying conversion work. The Fourth Edition features a new chapter covering the growing number of engineered timber components available in the house building industry.

The use of I beams and roof cassettes is detailed for roof and room-in-the-roof construction.

The text has been fully updated to current standards and features additional detailed construction drawings.

The chapters on attic conversion and construction have been expanded and a new attic conversion decision flow chart added.
