Roof trusses, or trussed rafters as they are sometimes referred to, are used in the majority of new housing in the UK and Ireland and are increasingly being used in commercial and industrial settings. So why are trusses so popular? Firstly, a trussed roof is a fully engineered structure delivering a practical and versatile roofing solution. In addition, trusses offer a cost effective and speedy solution to roof framing. When compared with a traditionally built roof, trussed rafters will typically deliver considerable material savings often using 40% less timber.
At Jacksons, we stock a full range of Plasterboard from manufacturers such as British Gypsum, Knauf and Lafarge. It is suitable for a wide range of applications and provides a very long lasting and durable solution for walls and ceilings. Jacksons stock Plasterboard in a variety of sizes and thickness's depending upon the needs of the project.
