I have a modern (5 year old) house with trussed roof and want to convert the loft with steels, etc.
I'm trying to get a rough idea where the knee-walls would be on either side, to get a feel with the eventual room width and window positions, etc.
Do the new knee-walls sitting on the new steels normally touch the roof rafters, where the final truss meets (red arrow below)? Or can the wall be pushed further out (red dotted box) ...increasing the total room width and lowering the minimum height of any velux windows we install?
The end of the truss currently sits around 1.5m above the existing loft floor, which feels quite high and I worry the velux windows will be very high up and you won't really be able to see out of them unless you stand up.
Thanks
