Different Sorts of Truss Design

Posted By Volterra Jan 13, 2015

Truss design with decorative trusses can take on many forms and shapes. The beauty is in the details of trusses, and those that serve purely decorative purposes brim with countless possibilities.

The Beauty is in the Details of Trusses

The truss is a triangular structure that traditionally sits between the roof and the ceiling, concealed from the naked eye. Decorative trusses are meant to be out in the open for everyone to see. Within the triangular structure is often a series of beams that interact with one another. This interaction is accomplished through a variety of numerous paths. Some stay apart and go vertically or horizontally across the structure as a whole.

Choose from Different Sizes, Complexity and Styles

Other sets of beams may intersect and meet at opposite ends of the truss. Others still contain beams of many different sizes, connecting with one another to create various designs. Some are simplistic in nature, while others conjure a much more elaborate appearance. Ultimately, it is up to the homeowner to decide what design best suits the rest of the house.

Fill Your Space with Radiance and Drama

Trusses are gorgeous installations for vaulted and arched ceilings. These vast spaces are quickly covered with ornamental mechanisms that start in the middle and stretch their way across both sides of the ceiling. Such elaborate fixtures open up a space with radiance and drama, as if the house were built long ago in another century.
