Antique trusses

A typical wooden structure in historic construction used as the main support of roofs, antique trusses are architectural elements that distinguish the form of the attic, giving a refined luminosity to the interior. From the simplest strut structures with chain up to the most complex types capable of achieving intense light effects, antique trusses should aim to re-evaluate existing wooden sections, possibly integrating them with healthy and solid salvaged antique materials. All in an overall work that respects the architectural structure and with craftsmanship to recover with the era of construction. With its interplay of beams with a triangular structure, the truss allows the building to expand in height, gaining more airiness and a space that can possibly be used, in residential or hospitality facilities, to make scenic lofts or restore ancient ceilings. Antica Edilizia is available to recover, clean and restore the wood of ancient trusses , and then proceed to re-lay the beams and ‘trim once restored to its former glory. Along with the undoubted aesthetic value of the work, the restoration of the antique trusses also allows the roof to be fortified, making it safer, sheltered and insulated from the elements. The restoration of the ancient trusses will also allow the structure to be preserved for a long time: the materials used in the original construction, restored to their original splendor, will remain solid and beautiful for a long time to come, and the building will benefit from an important revaluation.
