The cost of installing a truss system by professionals varies from 1000 USD. e. up to ten. It all depends on the chosen design and size of the house.
Warming and finishing
After the installation work is completed, the attic with a sloping roof is insulated and finished. Thermal insulation technology is similar to other types of roof structures. First, a vapor barrier film is laid on the beams, and waterproofing is laid on top of it. These surfaces are fastened with an overlap, installation is carried out using thin small nails.
For insulation, pressed mineral wool, polystyrene foam, penoizol and other materials can be used. The installation of the heat insulator is carried out in such a way that when it is installed, the gaps between the beams remain visible - this will help with further finishing.
The sloping roof is finished depending on what material was chosen for the coating. Now ondulin is very popular - it perfectly tolerates temperature changes and exposure to ultraviolet rays. The cheapest and most affordable option is slate. But the easiest way to work on a sloping roof is with metal tile panels - this design requires constant trimming of the coating, but this is not necessary with tiles.
