Roof & Floor Trusses

Benefits of Roof Trusses

• Complex roof and ceiling profiles are easy to design with today’s software.

• Hip and valley roof systems are much easier to build using trusses
than with conventional framing.

• Trusses can be used with a variety of on-center spacings,
to optimize strength and lumber resources.

• Long, clear spans are easy to create, reducing or eliminating
the need for interior bearing walls, beams, and columns.

• Structures are dried in more quickly, saving time and avoiding weather-related delays.

• Your imagination is the only limit when you design with trusses.

Benefits of Floor Trusses

• Floor truss installations create high quality, squeak-free construction with the added benefits of reduced framing time, waste, pilferage, and callbacks.

• Design versatility and open web spaces are tremendous advantages to builders
of today’s complex and sophisticated homes.

• The fact that floor trusses are built with 2x4s or 2x3s oriented ‘flatwise’ means
a wide, stable bearing surface that is easier to work on and around.

• The wide nailing surface provides for easy gluing and quick, accurate attachment of sheathing, reducing squeaks and improving floor performance for the life of the structure.

• Spacing floor trusses at 19.2” or 24” o.c. maximizes structural efficiency
and speed of installation.

• Stiffness and strength can be designed into the floor truss, creating a more solid floor.

• Special bearing, cantilever and balcony details are easily built in.

• Shrinkage, warping or twisting are minimized, reducing the potential
for callbacks to the job site.

• Long span and girder truss options reduce the need for intermediate bearing walls, beams, columns, or footing, saving time and construction costs.

• The open web configuration leaves plenty of room for plumbing, electrical,
and mechanical runs.

• Typical depths for floor trusses are 12” to 24”, but shallower or deeper
configurations are possible.
