Oak roof trusses with double-pointed star points are particularly popular and can provide a clean, modern look, with a classic feel. Oak vaulted roofs with double-pointed star points and square gable roof trusses make a dramatic architectural statement and a noticeable sense of space, creating a stylish, distinctive visual impact and a hugely positive impact on the building’s energy efficiency. The appearance of oak truss can be dramatically different depending on the angle at which they are viewed. Whilst vertical shafts can give a more solid feel and improved resistance to wear and tear, horizontal shafts can provide an open feeling, with less resistance, which can help with applications where you are trying to conserve space.
