The benefits of a trussloft loft conversion.

Truss roof loft conversion. The w shaped trusses are replaced with a shaped trusses or horizontal beams. Significantly increases your living space. Cheaper than moving house. The ecotrus system is built on site then assembled inside the roof space in 1 to 2 days triangulating the load of the roof so all truss and beams can be removed.

Ecotrus loft conversion kit is a patented steel superstructure that easily opens up the roof space. Added rafters and floor beams strengthen the current loft structure creating an open larger living area. This will often work out cheaper than using conventional steels once you factor in savings on labour access and plant hire etc. It typically costs around 4 000 for a set of 10 telebeam trusses sufficient for loft conversion of a small semi.

To make the loft conversion work in a house with a roof truss some parts of the truss need removing hence the requirement for additional structural support. Doesn t impact on your garden. Adds value to your home. This coupled with the slightly more complex construction and restructuring needed means that converting a truss roof can be more expensive than a normal loft conversion.

Converting a trussed roof is now commonplace. 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. Improves the quality of your home life. No planning permission required in most cases.

According to the nationwide building society adding a loft conversion to your home can increase the value of an average property by more than 54 000. However once a truss roof has been restructured and the loft converted they usually offer large spacious rooms which can be converted into excellent additional accommodation within your home. Often loft conversion projects can end up being a disappointment as on completion the owner finds out that roof height is very limited and as a result the space ends up being rather pokey. Looking back i was very lucky in that my roof had an unusually high 47 degree pitch and so there was lots of head room.

Before work can begin a structural engineer will calculate the size of the steels required. This process involves the installation and use of steel beams.
