Ecoshelter's unique curved rafter "A" frame roof
truss improves light transmission by providing minimal structural shadowing.
Redpath's exclusive use of our registered design
curved rafter "A" frame portal for the Ecoshelter 10650E design offers
superior production. A curved rafter truss or “cosecant rafter” design
is extremely well suited for use as an Ecoshelter roof truss. It
offers superior environmental control performance & gives fundamental
advantages to lift production when compared to any other overhead truss
design.
A curved rafter portal with its variable pitch
will naturally drain internal condensation speedily to the edge of the
roof line & thus prevent condensation water from dripping whilst also
significantly increasing light transmission. There is a 50% decrease
in Driplines.
The Redpath aluminium gutter lockstrip is fastened
along the side faces of all internal gutters & is positioned to catch
the run off of condensation from the roof sheets & direct it outside
of the Ecoshelter. By stopping the recycling process within the structure
of it's own condensation a large gain in humidity control is achieved.
