Are Wood Roof Truss Systems Superior To Conventionally-framed Systems?
All roof systems are adequate if properly designed, constructed and installed. Unfortunately, not all roof systems meet those criteria. In our opinion, wood trussed roofs are superior due to professional design, high quality materials, uniformity of size and pitch, and the fabrication techniques used. Why Is A Wood Trussed Roof Better? • Lumber used by quality truss manufacturers conforms to strict state, local and national building design criteria. • Lumber for trusses is cut by machines that are mathematically calibrated and set to produce high accurate cuts. This helps eliminate gaps when truss members are joined. • Because trusses are manufactured with great precision in jigs, multiples of the same truss are identical in size, assuring uniformity throughout your roof system. • In conventional building most carpenters can cun and build a roof. But, much is left to chance and the builder’s opinion. However, most trussed roof systems are designed by engineers or architects to fit your
