TRUSS ROOF CONSTRUCTION
Truss roof construction involves the use of prefabricated timber trusses that are pre-designed and pre-calculated for loads, delivered to the site, and installed to form robust structures according to planned specifications. Each truss is lifted and braced to a specification, securely fixed together ensuring strength and stability.
Clients opt for truss roof construction because it is a cost-effective solution that saves labor time compared to traditional cut roofs. This method is particularly advantageous for large-scale projects and offers efficient design options with 3D CAD models for installers to visualize the end result.
The typical process includes:
• Lifting the trusses into place on-site.
• Fitting them according to a detailed plan and ensuring they are level and aligned.
• Bracing the trusses together for added stability.
• Preparing corners for traditional hand cut rafters.
• Nailing and bracing the trusses following a specific schedule to ensure structural integrity.
The materials used in truss construction typically include high-quality treated timber, which ensures durability and strength. The trusses are manufactured off-site and delivered ready for installation, streamlining the construction process.
