The Pros of Using Roof Trusses Instead of Stick Framing
The pros of using roof trusses drastically outweigh the pros of stick framing. Sure, there may be an instance where stick framing is your only option, and that is understandable. But 99% of the time, a roof truss is going to give you so much more.
Here are the pros of trusses:
-Roof trusses are actually engineered – all of our trusses have an engineer seal on them which means they have met universal standards.
-Trusses are built in a controlled environment out of the elements of weather. This means the building process isn’t affected by rain or snow.
-Trusses span greater distances without having to be supported.
-Trusses are manufactured with computer-controlled saws, leading to greater accuracy, tighter fits, fewer mistakes, and less lumber waste. It’s simply more exact.
-We waste very little lumber when we build our roof trusses, which means we save more on lumber per truss we build. Try doing that with stick framing.
-Trusses are built on the ground and then lifted into place on existing walls. This eliminates more chances for people to fall and experience an accident.
