Why Are Roof Trusses Important?
Pre-fabricated roof trusses have been a popular staple in the construction of buildings for more than 60 years. They first became popularised in the 1960s, but have taken on improved features with new manufacturing methods and technological advancements allowing for a more refined system.
The roof truss we know today has a long line of innovation which has resulted in the system being one of the important contributors in building construction.
Benefits Of Roof Trusses
Roof trusses can be manufactured to specifically fit all building types and offer many structural benefits, whether it be erected for a small home or large scale shopping mall.
Roofs ensure that the contents of a building are not exposed to the elements. As such, using the right roof trusses allows for the roof itself to last the lifespan of the building.
A major benefit of roof trusses is that they provide a roof that can withstand a heavy load over decades, and in some cases centuries. This is accomplished as the load is distributed to the exterior walls of the house, rather than the interior walls.
Another advantage is the amount of space a roof contains which assists in the amount of airflow in the building itself.
On top of this, a roof truss is a popular form of roof and building construction due to the fact that it can be erected within a period of one day.
Roof trusses offer versatility, a building can be laid out in different ways due to the roof trusses’ ability to be manufactured in multiple sizes. The roof truss can be designed to fit almost any roof style which will complement the design but also the style.
Last but not least...
Modern-day roof truss design has also ensured more efficient roof trusses as software is able to design the systems to specification, before being manufactured.
