Truss-Co., Inc. builds all of its trusses to exacting standards set forth by the ANSI/TPI (American National Standards Institute/Truss Plate Institute), and in compliance with the building code applicable to the locale in which the trusses will be erected.
Wood roof trusses are assembled with dimensional and graded lumber appropriate to the individual truss design, and connected with steel plates that are pressed into the lumber with hundreds of pounds of pressure, thereby creating a strong truss system that safely transfers the weight of roofing materials to the bearing walls of a structure.
As with roof trusses, wood floor trusses can be specially engineered to handle weight from specific point loads (such as a fireplace, or even a particular piece of furniture). The webbing of the floor trusses (the smaller pieces inside the body of the truss) can also be designed to accommodate plumbing/HVAC access, so your plumber or air conditioning expert can run materials through the truss itself with ease.
We can special-order 29- or 26-gauge colored metal roofing material for you. Lead time is usually about one week. Ask us for info or pricing, and check out our supplier’s website: www.abcmetalroofing.com
