Exposed truss roof: can I remove diagonal braces and replace them with full OSB boards? (PICS INSIDE)
Exposed truss roof: can I remove diagonal braces and replace them with full OSB boards? (PICS INSIDE)
I have an disused outbuilding (approx 10m x 3m) which I'd like to turn into something useful like a workshop/office/gym/etc. The building has a truss roof and currently there is no internal ceiling i.e. the trusses are all exposed.
I could put a regular flat ceiling in, but the height would be pretty low and it would make the place feel cramped and boxy. So ideally I would like to leave the trusses exposed as a feature and fit plasterboard around them to create a vaulted ceiling effect...
