Hi all. I've just had a loft conversion guy to look at my loft. I discussed it with him for and his plan is bolt 6" x 2" verticals from the purlins. A horizontal is fixed to the verticals and the flooring joists are hung from the verticals.
Does all this sound like a kosher spec?
They have a web site
Sorry.
Should read, joists are hung from the horizontals...
We would need way more information to comment...
Layout of the loft, and spans? Length and dimensions of the purlins? How are the purlins supported? What else are the purlins currently supporting (roof obviously, but type and construction etc)
Its not a technique I have heard of before, but it may well be ok in certain circumstances.
