ᐅ Roller shutter box with integrated ring beam and insulation

Hello everyone,

We are still in the planning phase for our house and would like to have an exposed roof truss. Currently, a drywall ceiling with insulation between the rafters is planned. Our planner says we cannot have an exposed roof truss because it increases the height, and we are not allowed to go much higher.

Now to my question:
We are building with Poroton 42.5 cm (17 inches) thickness. Is there a roller shutter box available that includes an integrated ring beam and insulation?
Thank you.

Best regards,
Sonnenblu

Good evening,

Excuse me, how am I supposed to understand this statement?

Yes, he is basically saying that the components needed for an exposed rafter roof structure above the top edge of the window result in a taller build compared to a roof structure with insulation between the rafters and drywall covering. Is that incorrect?

Then your planner probably means exterior (above-rafter) insulation and is correct with that statement; unfortunately, I did not fully understand this from your initial post.

But then I wonder, if you want an exposed rafter roof structure (meaning a tall interior space), why don’t you adjust the roof pitch slightly to stay within the allowed ridge height? Another option could be to double up the rafters, install standard insulation between them, and basically simulate an exposed rafter roof structure.

Hello, the issue for us is not the ridge height but the wall height...

The ridge height is determined by the wall height...
