Could i build a second ceiling directly below the exiting cold deck flat roof dormer ceiling and instal more insulation using.
Vaulted roof extension.
3m depth from original rear wall 8 5m width along the rear of the property.
It is more expensive though.
Please have a look at the other construction videos on our channel.
Another type of roof insulation is spray foam insulation although.
These types of trusses are often used to create multilevel roof lines or construct additions to an existing building.
Just examined the drawings and seems that the architect despite what i asked for has drawn a horizontal interior ceiling.
There are several options for installing insulation in a vaulted ceiling.
Mono and vaulted mono trusses are only sloped in one direction.
I have a kitchen extention to the rear of my house 5mtrs long x 2 75 with about a 30degree pitch it is a conventional.
2nd ceiling under original flat roof ceiling.
The design is quite standard the extension is an l shape single storey rear and side with a few small velux windows in the roof.
Vaulted ceilings can be constructed by either stick framing which means attaching each joist and rafter individually or by setting roof trusses that come engineered from a truss manufacturer with.
A vaulted ceiling in new construction is no more complicated than standard framing although it does require special roof trusses which are usually built off site.
In a two storey extension this may result in a split level on the first floor which can add interest.
Among the easiest options is to install rigid insulation sheets over the rafters which not only provides insulation but also the structural function of enclosing the roof.
Exposing elements of the roof structure including the trusses and or rafters can add character to a home.
The basic framing construction cost can increase by 5 to 20 percent in a home with a large 20 x 20 foot great room with a vaulted ceiling.
Where an extension is beneath a pitched roof there may be the option to create a vaulted ceiling open to the ridge.
