Height of the attic at 28-degree pitched roof

The house is exactly 10.33m wide and the exterior walls are 33.5 cm thick. But I think you mean the width of the house as the sides where the roof slopes go down, right? There the house is only 8.79m wide.

Hi, yes, the eaves are 8.79. thank you

With an external dimension of 8.79 m, the internal dimension remains 8.12 m with a 33.5 cm external wall. If the knee wall is measured as described as the inflection point / transition of the inner wall cladding from the finished floor to the sloping roof cladding, the theoretical height at the highest point of the extended sloping roof cladding is 3.76 m. The roof structure is not taken into account, as it is located above the sloping roof cladding. With a clear room height of 2.52 m and a ceiling thickness of 0.27 m, about 1 m of height remains in the roof apex (depending on the thickness of the sloping roof cladding, since it certainly does not extend up to the ridge). Please also consider any ridge purlin or scissor beams. You probably hoped for more storage space, but it is only a crawl space. Have a nice Sunday wishes baucoach.

Wonderful, thank you for your help

Hello everyone,

can someone tell me how high the room in the attic is if we build a 1.60m knee wall with a 28 degree gable roof?
so the height when you stand exactly in the middle of the attic.

thanks and best regards

Morning!

Only one question remains: Why would you build like that? Two-story not allowed? Maximum height 1.50 m? Afraid of windows?

At least from the outside it really doesn’t look that good.

Cheers,

Hi!

The costs don’t matter at all – if you compare apples to apples. The few extra bricks are peanuts in terms of cost; but of course, windows and blinds cost more than a bare roof surface with tile covering. However, if you compare the costs of dormers and/or roof windows, it looks different.

A two-story house with a hip roof (city villa) looks great, and you can gladly do without sloped ceilings in everyday life. The most important thing, however, is summer heat protection – under a tile roof, I never want to have to sleep again!

And if money – as always – plays a role: build a shed roof! It’s cheaper, more practical (standing height) – but visually a bit more modern.

Oh yes, the appearance spoiled in your planning is not the roof, but the knee wall (Drempel) – such a large area without windows looks like a barn – and interruptions like bay windows or a third gable are even more expensive.

Best regards,
Tomtom.
