Trussed Rafters

Back to Products Page

Trussed rafters or roof trusses are now specified for the majority of domestic roofs constructed in the UK and Eire. The trussed rafter is an individually designed component, engineered to provide a structural frame for the support of a roof or similar structures.

Pre-fabricated from high quality, stress graded timbers and joined with steel nail-plate fasteners, the trussed rafter offers:

• A flexible, practical and fully engineered solution to your roofing requirements.
• Economy of materials, as trussed rafters can use up to 40% less timber than a traditionally formed roof.
• Reduced labour costs on site, due to the amount of prefabrication, releasing site joiners for more complex areas.
• Quick erection of the roof structure, enabling other trades to commence quickly.
• Reduction in site waste, loss and pilferage of valuable materials.
• Space saving on site, with no need for timber storage or carpentry work areas.
