Standard roof trusses for vaulted ceilings

For a beautiful vaulted ceiling without any specific restrictions, you have a wide choice of oak roof trusses. Your choice depends on your aesthetic preference, but these are the most common options:

King post truss 

A classic, triangle shape with a straight vertical post coming from the middle of the tie beam, with diagonal struts. King post trusses come in many variations, often with curved diagonal struts.

Queen post truss 

Two vertical posts and a collar form a square or rectangular shape inside the triangle. A variation of this oak truss is a curved, angled queen post truss, without the collar beam and with curved vertical posts.

Raised tie roof trusses

Roof trusses for extra head room

Our clients often require enough head room for people to walk under trusses comfortably or to optically increase the space, without increasing the overall height of the roof. This is a common requirement, hence there are many elegant solutions for this type of roof.

Raised tie truss or raised collar truss – is a truss modified to create extra head room by raising the tie beam or the collar beam further up and redistributing the pressures using additional braces and other components. An alternative option to this would be a scissor truss, which creates additional head room in the centre of the truss rather than raising the entire tie or collar beam.

Interrupted tie truss 

If you want to create even more head room and widen the habitable space in your loft, then this truss is perfect. It allows you to raise the eaves without raising the overall height of the building, creating a wider living space in your attic.
