5 Key Factors To use Roof Trusses Over Stick Framing
Lowest Cost -
The Wood Truss Council of America (WTCA) conducted a controlled test where they constructed two homes.
One home was built using standard or traditional stick framing methods, where the other used roof trusses
in the construction. The WTCA concluded that using component based framing
techniques realized a 16% savings in materials and labor.
Fast Installation -
In the above test, 40% less labor time was achieved by using component based framing
in the construction process. Roof truss packages arrive on site ready to be installed.
Roof Trusses are set in place and then attached to wall or beam framing using local building code
requirements, therefore saving labor time in the construction process.
Engineered and Tested -
The truss industry has engineered and tested roof truss components for many years. Trusses
are recognized and accepted by national building code authorities and used by the residential
and commercial industry on thousands of projects every year.
Multiple Roof and Ceiling Configurations -
Roof trusses can be designed into many roof and ceiling configurations making them a very versatile
building product. Multiple roof lines and interior sloped ceiling options are only a few of
the various ways roof trusses can be utilized.
Environmentally Efficient -
With the advancement and popularity of "Green" building products, Wood trusses offer the efficiency
of using less of our natural resources with optimized assembly practices. Less material is used in
the assembly of the roof trusses in the manufacturing plant. Also, less material is used on the
construction site relieving waste site disposal needs.
Overall, roof trusses give you the most efficient, cost effective and environmentally sound building
material option on the market.
