Hello!

I'm sitting here planning a new house and have some questions that maybe someone kind could help me with =).

The house will have a mono-pitched roof and there will be a sloped ceiling inside the house. The architect has prepared for 4 vertical beams that can help support the glulam beams. How would you solve it? I'm considering glulam beams that are spliced on top of the vertical beams. Does anyone know what dimensions for the glulam beams are needed?

I have used various "tools" for calculation, but this becomes a special solution that can't really be calculated with free tools.

There will be a sheet metal roof and the house will be built in Kungälv.

The facade drawing is not quite correct, but it gives an idea of the roof slope.

I would choose a thinner beam but tall so that all the insulation fits. Like 42x450mm (this is just a guess), you can order such with a finished tenon or make the tenon on-site. The supporting beam should be sufficiently wide and beveled according to the roof slope for adequate support surface. Your building materials supplier can assist with all this and be responsible for the calculation.
