Exposed Trusses from Volterra Architectural Products Are Special, Space-Opening Structures

Jan. 7, 2015 - PRLog -- It does not strike most home builders and designers to let the truss be out in the open, but exposed trusses from Volterra can be brilliant decorations that light up a space in ways that other fixtures cannot.

A complex system of beams that hangs above, the truss is often a purely functional mechanism that absorbs the weight of the roof and disperses it among the strongest parts of a building, like walls and columns. It is conventionally kept within the confines between the roof and the ceiling as it does its job, but a truss that is out in the open can invigorate a room with grandeur. A decorative exposed truss does not have the same utilitarian value as the traditional model, but it makes a bold, beautiful statement as a key design element in a large room.

These structures are typically fit into vaulted ceilings, accentuating its divided angular parts that meet in the center. No matter how small a room may be, the truss opens it up and adds a special, elegant quality.

Volterra Architectural Products is the sole U.S. manufacturer of custom and standard exposed trusses that mimic the compelling beauty of natural wood trusses, presenting to customers a unique line of products, each of which has an individual design. The Wasatch truss has a trio of horizontal beams that rise and fall with vertical beams intercutting them, a curved beam going through the bottom. The Sawtooth is a rigid and symmetrical system of beams that are vertical from top to bottom, with angled beams starting at the sides and meeting in the middle.

These exposed trusses are easy to install and weigh very little. When you shop at Volterra Architectural Products, you are guaranteed top-of-the-line materials.
