Roof Carpentry | The Advantages Of Strong Roof Trusses

Bespoke carpentry is behind every quality roof truss. A timber truss is the structural framework that supports the weight of a roof. They’re a very popular choice of roof now, particularly for new builds, as they’ve got lots of benefits. Here are just a few:

Strong Carpentry

The design of trusses is what makes the structure so robust and durable. Using a strong grade of timber, it is the careful engineering of trusses that provides immense structural support. They’re usually in the shape of a triangle, with multiple internal panels that provide further strength.

Quick To Install

Another benefit of roof trusses is that they’re quick to put up. Building projects can take quite a long time, so having a fast turnaround on one of the bigger elements is a huge plus. Roof trusses are usually made off-site by carpentry experts and then are easily transported to the location. This can save time and money on labour costs.

Cost Effective

The shorter installation times can mean cutting the cost of on-site labour charges. Not only this, but roof trusses are cost effective in other ways too. When compared to steel roofs, timber is usually the cheaper option because of the difference in material prices. It’s also a big plus that wood is more eco-friendly. Compared to more traditional rafters, trusses require less timber, so there should be a difference in price. Contact our carpentry professionals today for more information.

Versatile

There are many types of trusses, such as scissor, fink and queen. Almost any shape can be built using these custom frameworks. If you require room for a loft space, then this can be accommodated.
