Truss uplift occurs in the winter only. It occurs because the bottom chord of the truss arches up. The ends of the bottom chord rest on the outside wall, but the center portion rises. This usually creates a gap between the top of interior partitions near the center of the house and the ceiling. 4, record 1, English, - roof%20truss%20uplift

De nombreux propriétaires sont aux prises avec un problème de soulèvement des fermes de toit, qui entraîne la fissuration des joints de placoplâtre à la jonction des murs et du plafond. Le soulèvement des fermes est causé principalement en hiver par l'allongement des membrures supérieures soumises à un pourcentage d’humidité élevé, alors que les membrures inférieures, bien au chaud sous l'isolant, ont un pourcentage d’humidité moins élevé. 1, record 1, French, - soul%C3%A8vement%20des%20fermes%20de%20toit

Un plaquage consiste à recouvrir un toit d’une couverture métallique, le plus souvent en zinc ou en cuivre. On peut voir ces toitures en peu partout et surtout dans les régions subissant de fortes précipitations de pluie ou de neige. 3, record 2, French, - couverture%20m%C3%A9tallique

Étant donnée la hauteur des plafonds, l'air chaud monte au-dessus de l'espace occupé, et de là est expulsé au besoin par la ventilation. L'espace laissé entre la couverture métallique et le toit en béton bien isolé qu'elle surmonte augmente l'efficacité de l'aération. La ventilation mécanique se limite aux pièces qui exigent ces installations d’appoint, notamment les cuisines et les laboratoires. 4, record 2, French, - couverture%20m%C3%A9tallique

Dans la plupart des méthodes de couverture comportant l'emploi de ces émulsions, on préconise un processus initial identique. Il consiste à appliquer, sur la plate-forme du toit ou sur l'isolant de la couverture, une chape de base constituée par un feutre recouvert d’asphalte. L'adhérence est obtenue par l'emploi d’asphalte chaud ou froid. 2, record 4, French, - asphalte%20chaud
