Advantages Of Utilizing Structural Timber Trusses

By Della Monroe


Majority of the time, a solid wooden framework is used for the construction of roofs and floors. It usually consists of a set of hard wooden triangles fit together with fasteners such as metal plates. Hard wooden framework systems are built in factories and are pre designed. Installers usually build these on site using fasteners and lumber.

These are found on the majority of the residential and commercial structures not only in North America, but in Europe too. Majority of the time, structural timber trusses are chosen. The reason behind this is that they are more beneficial compared to the other types of frameworks. They can span great distances compared to the traditional framework systems because of their precise design.

For this reason, intermediate supports just like columns are lessen and there is more room for design flexibility. It will not be difficult for installers due to the fact that these compact wooden supports have an open triangle design. Such supports are created to certain sizes. So every one of these have similar sizes.

So it will be easy for installers to fit them to the surrounding structure. Aside from having less surprising during construction, the job can be completed much faster. This is definitely beneficial during roof construction. Roofers can get the structure closed in quickly by using a hard wooden framework system. Aside from protecting the building materials, workers are protected too from weather conditions such as rain.

Most builders leave such exposed when they choose to utilize them. This is due to the fact that they intend to make the support system a part of the cosmetic design of the structure. Since such are created to almost any shape along with design, they can fit into any building plan.

Roofs, floors that are flat and covered roofs frequently match with low profile designs. It is not impossible to come up with a cathedral or arch designed roof with these. One of the reasons why individuals choose to spend money on these is that these are not as expensive. Excessive amount of material will not be necessary which is the result of their precise layout.

Aside from cutting costs, using these may speed up the job because of lighter loads for foundation systems and wall framing. Compared to other frameworks, these can be installed much more quickly. In addition, less skilled labor is needed so it will result in great labor cost deductions.

Aside from the strength and beauty these can provide, they are beneficial because they usually offer a better fire rating compared to steel. These framework systems can last for up to an hour before failure in case of a fire. Conventional steel frameworks usually twist, warp and fail quickly in a fire because of too much heat. It is no longer surprising why these are chosen by many regardless if they will use it for residential or commercial buildings.
