Thanks for sharing this, really appreciate. What is the best way to fix the trusses to the wall, are they bolted to it?

Often, something called a joist strap or strong-tie is used. It connects the end of the truss to the wall. Traditionally a rafter end had a ‘birds mouth joint’ to connect it to a wall head.

Hi, really inciteful. I am looking at adding a 4.5mx4.5m extention onto the front on my detached bungalow. Would opting for a cut roof work? I'm not interested in having exposed beams.

My question is whether an extension to the front will get planning permission. Most local authorities don’t encourage this

@@popcornplayer28 correct. I seriously doubt you would get permission to build to the front of a typical house in the uk, beyond a conventional porch.

@@RealLifeArchitecture we're fortunate enough that we live on a road where we have a lot of space at the front of the house and 90% of the bungalows have put an extention on the front so I'd be surprised if it were refused.

Exposed beams are definitely a trend for luxurious houses all over the world. I've visited a house that uses false beams with timber laminates to create the exposed beams effect but it's not as good as the plastic beam due to its flatness and edges.
