Hi everyone. I am considering a strawbale home. Similar to a yurt. With a heaxagonal roof on top, supported by a timber in the center. How do I vent the roof? If I can't vent, is sprayfoam a solution? I am thinking of a sheetmetal roof. Look forward to your replies.
Hexagon roof + metal panels = lots of cutting the metal and lots of ridge cap material. Not my cup of tea, but that's okay.
Is the vision to have a cathedral type raised ceiling with the hexagonal roof shape showing inside? Or is the plan to have a flat ceiling for the room below the roof? One story?
A roof with a flat ceiling / attic space could be vented with a cupola at the peak and soffit vents as standard around the perimeter.
I never thought of a flat ceiling. I would prefer a vaulted ceiling. One story.
