Feature Trusses
Elevate Your Architecture with Handcrafted Feature Trusses
At Calldene, we believe a roof structure should be more than just functional—it should be a masterpiece. Our Feature Timber Trusses are designed to be left exposed, turning the structural skeleton of your building into a striking interior design element.
Whether you are aiming for the rustic charm of a traditional farmhouse or the clean, vaulted lines of a contemporary open-plan living space, our bespoke trusses provide the perfect marriage of form and function.
Why Choose Calldene Feature Trusses?
- Engineered Excellence: Every truss is meticulously designed by our in-house team. We provide full structural calculations and drawings to ensure your design is as safe as it is beautiful.
- Premium Material Selection: We work with the finest sustainably sourced timbers, including European Oak, Douglas Fir, Larch, and high-strength Glulam (Glue-Laminated Timber).
- Artisan Craftsmanship: While we utilise precision technology for accuracy, our skilled carpenters finish every piece by hand, ensuring traditional joinery and a premium aesthetic.
- Large Span Trusses: Our engineering capabilities allow for impressive clear spans, eliminating the need for internal load-bearing walls and creating expansive, airy interiors.
Popular Truss Styles
We offer a variety of traditional and modern configurations to suit your specific architectural requirements:
- King Post Trusses: The most iconic and timeless design, featuring a central vertical post. Perfect for medium spans and creating a classic “vaulted” look.
- Queen Post Trusses: Utilizing two vertical posts, this style is ideal for wider spans and offers a grand, symmetrical aesthetic.
- Raised Tie Trusses: Designed to maximise headroom, these trusses allow for a higher ceiling line, making them a popular choice for barn conversions and master bedrooms.
- Bespoke & Curved Designs: Looking for something unique? Our Glulam expertise allows us to create curved chords and complex geometries tailored to your vision.
Frequently Asked Questions
Are feature trusses structural?
Yes. Unlike “cosmetic” faux beams, Calldene feature trusses are fully structural components engineered to support the weight of your roof while remaining visible.
Can I use them in a renovation?
Absolutely. We often design trusses for extensions, barn conversions, and even as retrofitted decorative elements in existing high-ceiling rooms.
Which timber is best for my project?
Oak is the gold standard for traditional beauty, while Douglas Fir offers excellent structural strength with a warmer, slightly more contemporary hue. Glulam is the best choice for modern, long-span, or curved designs.
