Wood Truss
Benefits of Wood Trusses
Our roof and floor trusses are manufactured in a controlled environment which ensures that only the highest quality materials are being used. The lumber is not exposed to outside elements, which minimizes shrinkage, warping or twisting in the products, reducing the potential for call backs.
Because the trusses are being produced in the manufacturing plant, production times do not get delayed due to weather. We are able to work continuously around the clock to ensure the trusses are completed on time.
Roof Truss
Wood roof trusses continue to rise in popularity throughout the building industry. With up to 80% of all new houses using roof trusses over traditional rafters.
Benefits of using wood trusses:
- Hightech machinery is used to measure and cut each piece of lumber to the exact measurement needed to produce the most accurate truss.
- Roof trusses can span greater distances than traditional methods such as rafters. Each truss is designed with your projects specific measurements which eliminates errors on the job site and reduce overall framing time.
- Because of their greater span distance, architects and designers have more freedom when it comes to design, as roof trusses reduce the need for interior bearing walls, beams and columns.
- Roof trusses are designed and engineered to be exceptionally strong and durable, making them able support roofs of all shapes, weights, and styles.
- Roof trusses take less timber to make when compared to other methods, making them a more environmentally friendly option.
- Using prefabricated wood trusses will contribute to less waste at the job site, which will save you time and money to clean up.
Floor Truss
Floor trusses are being used by architects, engineers and contractors throughout the construction industry. Floor trusses provide high quality, squeak-free construction that will reduce overall framing time.
Benefits of using floor trusses include:
- Open web configuration ensures plenty of room for plumbing, electrical and mechanical runs.
- Wide nail surface provides for easy gluing and ensures more accurate fastening of the sheathing, which improves floor performance.
- Stiffness and strength can be designed into floor trusses to create a more solid floor. Special bearing, cantilever and balcony details can easily be incorporated in the design.
- Long spans and girder truss options reduce the need for intermediate bearing walls, beams, columns and footings.
