  • Room in Roof ('Rir') Trussed Rafters
    PRODUCT DATA SHEET Sheet No.1 May 2007 ROOM IN ROOF (‘RIR’) TRUSSED RAFTERS The ‘Room-in-Roof’ (‘RiR’) or attic trussed Fig. 1 Typical 8 metre span conventional trussed rafter rafter is a simple means of providing the structural roof and floor in the same component. This offers considerable 35 x 97 rafter advantages over other forms of living roof construction: • There need be no restrictions on lower floor layouts since 40° the trusses can clear span on to external walls although greater spans and room widths can be achieved by Weight of truss approx 55kg 35 x 97 ceiling tie utilising internal loadbearing walls. • ‘RiR’ trussed rafters are computer designed and factory assembled units, resulting in better quality control. Fig. 2 Typical 8 metre span ‘Room in Roof’ trussed rafter • Complex, labour intensive site joints are not required. • ‘RiR’ trussed rafters can be erected quickly, offering cost savings and providing a weathertight shell earlier. 47 x 197 rafter • Freedom to plan the room layout within the roof space. • A complete structure is provided, ready to receive roof finishes, plaster board and floorboarding. 40° Weight of truss approx 125kg 47 x 197 ceiling joist Comparing an 8 metre span standard trussed rafter (see opposite) with an equivalent 8 metre span ‘RiR’ truss, the external members will increase in width and depth. There are two reasons for this: The ‘RiR’ truss supports approximately 60% more load than a standard truss of the same span and pitch. This difference in load is made up of plasterboard ceilings and wall construction, full superimposed floor loading and floor boarding.

  • Trussed Rafter Technical Guide
    TRUSSED RAFTERS have proved to be an efficient, safe and economical method for supporting roofs since their introduction into the UK in 1964. They are manufactured by specialised timber engineering companies, who supply to all sections of the construction industry. Developments have been extensive, and today complex roofscapes are easily formed with computer designed trussed rafters. With the continuing trend toward individualism in domestic house styling, let alone the reflection of this in new inner city estates, the facility to introduce variations to the standard designs is vital. The provision of many character differences by designing and then constructing L returns, doglegs and hips for example, satisfies the inherent need for individuality at affordable prices. Economical roofing solutions for many commercial, industrial and agricultural buildings; hospitals, army barracks and supermarket complexes, are achieved by the expeditious installation of trussed rafters. Experienced roof designers and trussed rafter manu- facturers are therefore in an ideal position to assist the architect or specifier in achieving affordable solutions throughout the building industry. Simply provide a brief sketch or description of that being considered, including alternatives, and we will do the rest. The whole roof is designed and specified using state-of-the-art computer aided technology supplied by Wolf Systems. We can also arrange for one of our specialists to visit and advise you. This technical manual highlights some of the basic structural arrangements and assembly information you may require. In addition, we can offer technical expertise and experience in a comprehensive advisory service to clients, from initial sketch to completed trussed rafters. 1 Technical Data Design Trusses are designed in accordance with the current Code of Practice, which is BS 5268: Part 3, and the relevant Building Regulations.

  • Thousand Island Park Historic Preservation Handbook
    Thousand Island Park Historic Preservation Handbook Construction and Renovation Guidelines for Cottage Owners, Architects, Designers, and Contractors The Purpose and Use of This Handbook Thousand Island Park, a privately held corporation sited on the southwestern end of Wellesley Island in the Thousand Islands region, was founded in 1875 as a Methodist Camp Meeting Association. There are more than 325 late 19th- and early 20th-century buildings, the majority of which are summer cottages. The entire Park, including its public and private structures, was listed on the State and Federal National Register of Historic Places in 1982 as an historic district. The not-for-profit Thousand Island Park Landmark Society and the corporate-appointed Preservation and Architectural Review Board are dedicated to the protection of the Park’s architecture and history. Throughout the 19th century, Methodist camp meetings, “woodland revivals” lasting several days, spread over our continent. These tented villages in the wilderness often became permanent communities with specialized building types and particular characteristics. The communities were planned and built with several sets of unique forms and architecture which created a magical environment — a work of art. This is Thousand Island Park. To retain its status on the National Register of Historic Places, in 1987 the Thousand Island Park Corporation adopted zoning and preservation regulations that ensure that the distinctive and historic character of the Park will be maintained. The Preservation and Architectural Review Board reviews all applications for alterations, additions, and new construction. “Iron Cottage,” Corner of This visual handbook is intended for use by East Coast and cottage owners, architects, designers, and United States contractors to serve as an informational guide in the application process and to help explain the existing Preservation Code and Land Use Regulations.

  • Architectural Styles
    Architectural Styles A-Frame This style is made up of triangular and tee-pee shaped homes. Triangular and tee-pee shaped homes named for the distinctive shape of its roofline. The steep slope of the A-frame roof is designed to help heavy snow to slide to the ground, instead of remaining on top of the house and weighing it down. At the same time, the sloped roof provides two other benefits. It creates a half floor at the top of the house which can be used for lofts or storage space, and, since the roof extends down to the ground and doesn't need to painted, it minimizes the amount of exterior maintenance required on the house. Defining characteristics are; triangular shape, steeply sloping roof that extends to the ground on two sides, front and rear gables, deep-set eaves, 1 ½ or 2 ½ stories, many large windows on front and rear facades, small living space, and few vertical wall surfaces. Art Deco A vertically oriented design includes flat roofs and metal window casements. Geometric decorative elements and a vertically oriented design. This distinctly urban style was never widely used in residential buildings; it was more widespread in public and commercial buildings of the period. Flat roofs, metal window casements, and smooth stucco walls with rectangular cut-outs mark the exteriors of Art Deco homes. Facades are typically flush with zigzags and other stylized floral, geometric, and "sunrise" motifs. By 1940 the Art Deco style had evolved into "Art Moderne," which features curved corners, rectangular glass-block windows, and a boat-like appearance.
