Pitched roofs

It is clear from the experience of builders and tradesmen that it is not always easy to explain to the customer the reasons why the material they have chosen cannot be used for their project. The book will help you navigate the large range of roofing materials, safety waterproofing, thermal insulation, gutter systems and other supplementary materials needed when renovating or building a new roof. It describes the actual process of design and construction of the truss, including details and calculations. After each of the chapters, the advantages, disadvantages and the most common mistakes of each solution are clearly listed. All the examples are based on buildings that have already been constructed.
