Hello everyone,

we are still planning our house and would like to have an exposed roof truss.
At the moment, a drywall ceiling with insulation between the rafters is planned. Our planner says we cannot have an exposed roof truss because it builds higher and we are not allowed to go much higher.
Now to my question:
We are building with Poroton 42.5 thickness. Is there a roller shutter box with integrated ring beam and insulation for this?
Thank you.

Best regards
Sonnenblu

Good evening,


Excuse me, how am I supposed to understand this statement?

Best regards from the Rhineland

Yes, he just says that the parts needed for a visible roof truss from the top edge of the window are built higher together than if you make the roof truss with insulation between the rafters and clad it with drywall... Is that wrong?

Good evening,

Then your planner means an exterior insulation above the rafters and is right with his statement; unfortunately, I didn't understand that correctly from your initial post.

But then I ask myself, if you want an exposed roof truss (i.e., a lot of space upwards), why don't you "play" a little with the roof pitch so that the permitted ridge height is not exceeded? Another possibility might be to double the rafters, carry out normal insulation between the rafters, and virtually imitate an exposed roof truss.

Rhenish greetings

Hello, the problem for us is not the ridge height but the wall height...

The ridge height results from the wall height ...
