Attic
roof system trusses
iLevel Trus Joist - Spatial Roof™ creates extra space in a third less time
Ease of construction and the ability to create extra useable
space has won over a Yorkshire builder to Spatial Roof™ from
iLevel™ Trus Joist®.
In developing a small site in Bradford, White Rose Property
Services was looking to maximise the interior space of six
three-storey semi-detached properties as well as addressing the
problem of limited site access.
Working with iLevel™ Service Partner, CR Taylor, White Rose
Property Services decided to trial the Spatial Roof™ system,
which offers a simpler and quicker way to build attic roofs by
creating an attic room as a separate floor and roof, rather than
a combined unit. This means by installing the floor first, a
permanent, stable and safe working platform for the erection of
the pitched roof is formed.
“By opting for Spatial Roof™ we created approximately 25 to 30
per cent extra space, which gave us the option of adding two
rooms instead of one on the top floor,” explained Mick Butler of
White Rose Property Services.
“And because we were able to simply manhandle the Spatial Roof™
trusses into position, the first two properties were completed
in just one day, compared to the three days it would have taken
to hoist attic trusses into position by crane.
“Avoiding the use of a crane meant we didn’t have to worry about
undertaking a health and safety risk assessment for its use or
need to seek the local council’s permission to use it on a
public highway, which would have been the case for the first two
units.”
White Rose Property Services were so impressed with Spatial
Roof™ the company is currently considering it on a number of
other developments it has planned.
