Gap Between Roof And Ceiling

I ve got a flat roof wooden sealed with tar and then roofing iron on top of that with a 30 cm gap between the ceiling.

Gap between roof and ceiling.

When two different building materials meet along a joint there is often a gap between the surfaces as the edges are not flush with each. There s no insulation there at present. My house has a false vaulted ceiling with a 4 gap between it and the roof. There is only a small gap between this ceiling and a concrete roof cold roof felt covered.

Trusses also include reinforcing members between the top and bottom chords to add strength to the truss. Roof trusses are the wooden framework that supports the area between the ceiling and the roof. False ceilings are usually constructed from steel tiles and suspended from the framing joists in roofs. Unfortunately whoever installed this ceiling neglected to install insulation in this gap.

The component that creates the gap is called a variety of things including a ventilation baffle a ventilation chute a ventilation channel or a product such as proper vent. Because there is a gap between the ceiling of one apartment and the floor of another noise. The lowest the temperature gets is 0 centigrade. When the ceiling changes height across the length of a wall a gap between wall and ceiling can result.

Not really enough for someone to crawl in unless skinny. Covering this gap isn t a difficult process. All it takes is a quick patching job with fiberglass mesh tape. Trusses have largely taken the place of the old rafter and joist framing as they are bought pre fabricated and are less expensive and faster to install than stick built frames.

Engineered roof trusses are carefully designed structural assemblies that include roof rafters which in truss designs are called top chords and ceiling joists which are called bottom chords in one pre fabricated unit. They are located in the attic. Ventilation channels maintain an air gap between the insulation and the roof sheathing. However i can access the gap from the attic and i do have enough clearance to slide things down the gap.

I intend to fill between my joists with foil backed insulation board 75mm with a thin layer of insulation on top of the joists.
