Creating Space Without Expanding the Footprint
What Are Attic Trusses?
Attic trusses—also known as room-in-the-roof trusses—offer a smart, space-saving solution for homeowners and developers looking to maximise internal floor area without increasing the building's footprint. Designed to form both the roof structure and an integrated floor system, attic trusses create valuable habitable space within the roof zone, making them ideal for bedrooms, offices, or loft conversions.
As land costs rise and planning restrictions tighten, going up instead of out has become a popular and cost-effective way to add square footage. Whether it’s a self-build or a national housing scheme, attic trusses are a simple and proven way to boost usable living space.
