So I’ve got this mad idea to make my warm roof construction seem a bit thinner which will hopefully both look better and save me some pennies by using smaller facia boards.
I’ve drawn it out rather crudely attached but the basic premise is to cut my rafters flush with the stud wall top plate and then ‘fly’ the osb3 (18mm) roof deck out 100mm to the sides and 300mm at the front.
I’ll then frame the roof deck with 4x2 and infill with Insulation to create a warm roof as usual.
This should allow me to run the wall OSB straight up to the roof deck thereby hiding the rafters behind the cladding and giving the illusion that the roof structure it thinner.
Have I missed something obvious here that may/will cause an issue?
Thanks as usual for all your comments and advice folks.
