Wood truss roofs and floors are in most residential and commercial construction in North America. However, what does it mean to have a wood truss roof or floor?
Here, the San Diego Truss Manufacturers with Stone Truss will explain wood trusses in laymen’s terms, how they’re designed and built, and why you should strongly consider having one.
What is a wood truss roof or floor?
In a nutshell, a structure with a wood truss roof and floor has been built with a series of triangular-shaped fames that support the weight of the roof or floor.
Rather than a rafter, a wood truss will typically span the width of structure with no support necessary from the walls.
Why should I select a wood truss design?
The benefits associated with a wood truss roof and floor far outweigh the other options.
For starters, a wood truss design will cost you less in the long run because less wood is needed during the manufacturing process. You’ll also save money on reduced labor costs and lower energy bills, thanks to the natural insulation provided by wood trusses.
You’ll also have more variety in the design of your home, business or other structure.
With a wood truss roof, you’ll have more room upstairs than a traditional attic. This can be used as an extra work room, storage area, or however you wish.
A wood truss floor gives you the ability to include a sunken room in your design. Because there’s so much more extra space, there will also be increased room for other technicians (electricians, plumbers, etc.) to work around.
Is there a wood truss company near me?
If you’re in southern California, there sure is! Stone Truss is based in San Diego, and has established a reputation for being the provider of choice for wood trusses throughout California.
With our expert design team, we’ll talk with you about your plans, then design your truss system off-site so that it’s ready to be installed when at just the right time.
Our trusses will be delivered on flat bed trucks and extendable trailers.
Because we construct the truss off-site, it’s not vulnerable to the outdoor elements – which keeps everything on schedule.
We’ll also remain in constant contact with you and the contracting supervisor to ensure that everyone is on the same page and problems are resolved as soon as they appear.
The result is a construction experience that’s done on time and to your specific instructions.
