Its function is to transfer the weight of the roof covering and weather-related loads (snow and wind) to the building\u2019s load-bearing walls. The choice of a suitable structural system determines, amongst other things, the durability and construction costs of the roof.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In single-family housing construction, two main approaches are used:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Traditional (carpenter\u2019s) roof truss<\/strong> \u2013 constructed directly on site from individual components (rafters, purlins, collar beams and wall plates) joined using carpentry joints, nails and screws. Types include, amongst others, rafter trusses, rafter-purlin trusses and purlin-clamp trusses.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Prefabricated roof trusses<\/strong> \u2013 a system of prefabricated, computer-designed trusses assembled in the factory using steel spike plates. The truss system replaces both the traditional roof truss and the heavy reinforced concrete floor slab above the ground floor (the function of the latter is taken over by the truss\u2019s bottom chord).<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The choice between traditional and prefabricated construction affects the project\u2019s timetable and budget. Prefabricated <a href=\"https:\/\/wascovilla.pl\/en\/trusses\/\">prefabricated roof trusses<\/a> They are made from certified, kiln-dried C24-grade timber, and their on-site assembly usually takes between 1 and 3 days \u2013 without the need to cut the timber on site or generate waste.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Advice for investors:<\/strong> Even if the finished house design calls for a traditional roof truss and a monolithic ceiling, the structure can be optimised. The Wascovilla design team will analyse the roof plan and provide a quote for replacing the traditional truss with prefabricated trusses.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>","protected":false},"featured_media":6182,"template":"","meta":{"_acf_changed":true},"class_list":["post-6180","encyklopedia","type-encyklopedia","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v26.7 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>Czym jest wi\u0119\u017aba dachowa? | S\u0142owniczek inwestora<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"Sprawd\u017a czym jest wi\u0119\u017aba dachowa i jakie ma znaczenie przy budowie domu.
