Description

A parallel chord vaulted truss is a type of roof truss that has sloping top chords and parallel bottom chords. This creates a vaulted interior space that is taller at the center than at the edges. Parallel chord vaulted trusses are often used in homes and commercial buildings to create a spacious and airy feel. They can also be used to add character and style to a building.
