ROOF TRUSSES: Roof trusses can be used on the simplest to the most complex roof designs. On whatever type of project they are used, they have many advantages over other framing methods:

  • Roof trusses typically use less lumber than conventionally built roofs. By some estimates, as much as 40% less material.
  • Roof trusses offer longer clear spans. This allows greater design flexibility in the placement of interior walls.
  • All of our roof trusses are engineered with a substantial safety factor. Traditional conventional framing is typically based more on historical practices and less on engineered designs. A trussed roof is a safer product.
  • Roof trusses save labor. Since all trusses come properly labeled and are prefabricated components, jobsite time is substantially reduced.
  • Roof trusses reduce jobsite pilferage.

FLOOR TRUSSES: Floor trusses offer many advantages over conventional framing methods:

  • Longer clear spans than conventional framing offering greater flexibility in floor plan layout.
  • Longer spans can help eliminate interior beams, posts and footings. Helping reduce the overall floor system cost.
  • Open web design allows easier and quicker installation of plumbing, hvac and electrical systems. The ability to use the “inside” of the truss creates a cleaner look to the ceiling below.
  • Floor trusses save jobsite labor and decrease floor deck installation time.
  • Wide 3 1/2” nailing surface for easy deck application.
