Types of timber roof trusses
Timber roof trusses offer flexibility that really helps you add that extra level of uniqueness to your timber frame design. From T intersections and L returns, to hip and dogleg intersections, there are options for all building shapes, however unusual. The flexibility doesn’t stop here though.
There is a wide variety of internal shapes and profiles to suit the purpose of your build. Attic trusses are an increasingly popular option as their structure means the attic can be used as living space, while raised-tie or scissor trusses allow ceilings to be raised without changing the shape of the external building. At UK Structures, we use our years of roof truss design experience to help you select what is best suited to your project, followed by the highest standard of construction and installation.

- Sustainable materials
- Modern method of construction
- Reduced timescale from point of design through to site erection
- Chain of custody certification
- Improved thermal efficiency over traditional construction & the lowest C02 costs of all commercially available buidling materials
- Reduced maintenance (dry construction which reduces plaster shrinkage and therefore reduces plaster cracks)
- Follow on trades preferred mathod of build. Timber frame allows services to be fitted accurately & with ease compared to traditional build methods
