Quality assurance, and the sourcing of cost-effective, superior materials, is a primary concern in any modern building project. One approach that can make a substantial difference in project quality and efficiency is to use roof trusses made with cold formed steel (CFS).
CFS roof trusses work well for projects of any common size or scope. They are a very durable and cost-effective alternative to wood trusses, helping building owners and contractors around the world complete projects to the satisfaction and high standards of everyone involved.CFS is a light, very strong material that is effective for a wide range of construction applications. Roof trusses fabricated from CFS, in particular, have several advantages over the use of trusses made with wood.
We’ve put together a mini-guide exploring the benefits of CFS roof trusses in much more detail. Click the button to download our mini-guide.
Below, we’ll explain just a few of the reasons why CFS roof trusses are likely ideal for your next building project.
CFS is not subject to many of the problems encountered with timber in construction.
CFS roof trusses are stronger and of consistent quality, designed with high accuracy with advanced software, more complex designs can be achieved.
In addition, CFS trusses are designed and prefabricated with extreme precision. After specification with our FRAMECAD process, each part is built exactly as needed and expected.
Finally, wood is subject to damage from weather conditions such as rain or snow. Particularly during the construction phase, this can cause costly delays. CFS trusses avoid this possibility, keeping project timelines on track.
Roofs made of CFS trusses can fit any type of building. No matter the planned roof shape, CFS trusses can be designed and manufactured to achieve it. They can be fabricated to meet the requirements (including roof load) of a large choice of roof shapes, whether it’s a common hip roof, double fink, queen post, or a mono-pitched roof. This guide will also review the back-to-back vs inline trusses and the benefits of each design style.
