    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Domestic_roof_construction

    A truss roof with tongue and groove sheathing. The gap in the sheathing at the ridge is the space designed to allow natural ventilation. Pre-manufactured roof trusses come in a wide variety of styles. They are designed by the manufacturer for each specific building. Timber trusses also are built in a variety of styles using wood or metal joints.

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Plywood

    The sizes of the most commonly used plywood sheets are 4 by 8 feet (1,220 mm × 2,440 mm) [20] which was first used by the Portland Manufacturing Company, who developed modern veneer core plywood for the 1905 Portland World Fair. A common metric size for a sheet of plywood is 1200 × 2400 mm. 5 × 5 feet (1,500 × 1,500 mm) is also a common ...

  4. Purlin - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Purlin

    A purlin (or historically purline, purloyne, purling, perling) is a longitudinal, horizontal, structural member in a roof. In traditional timber framing there are three basic types of purlin: purlin plate, principal purlin, and common purlin. Purlins also appear in steel frame construction. Steel purlins may be painted or greased for protection ...

    Face Veneer thickness-- For any three-ply construction, which applies to 3 and 4 mm material, each face veneer shall be not thinner than 1/8 of the total thickness of veneers assembled dry. Since the dry thicknesses of the boards are 3.6 and 4.6 respectively, we can assume that, for these thicknesses only, the face veneers will be as follows:

  7. Formwork - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Formwork

    Between these stringers, joists are positioned roughly 12 inches (30 cm) apart, upon which boards or plywood are placed. The stringers and joists are usually 4 by 4 inch or 4 by 6 inch lumber. The most common imperial plywood thickness is 3 ⁄ 4 inch and the most common metric thickness is 18 mm.

  8. Radiant barrier - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Radiant_barrier

    A radiant barrier is a type of building material that reflects thermal radiation and reduces heat transfer. Because thermal energy is also transferred by conduction and convection, in addition to radiation, radiant barriers are often supplemented with thermal insulation that slows down heat transfer by conduction or convection.

  9. Engineered wood - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Engineered_wood

    Plywood and OSB typically have a density of 560–640 kg/m 3 (35–40 lb/cu ft). For example, 9.5 mm (3 ⁄ 8 in) plywood sheathing or OSB sheathing typically has a surface density of 4.9–5.9 kg/m 2 (1–1.2 lb/sq ft). [50] Many other engineered woods have densities much higher than OSB.
