Trussed rafters or roof trusses are now used for the vast majority of domestic roofs constructed in the UK and have an exceptional performance record since their introduction to the building and construction industries. The trussed rafter is an individually designed component engineered to provide a structural frame for the support of the roof covering.

Since their conception demand for increasingly complex designs has grown dramatically. Now utilising CAD systems, our skilled designers are able to offer complete roof packages, detailed drawings and structural calculations.

Prefabricated from high quality, stress graded timbers and joined with steel nailplate connectors, 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

• Quick erection of the roof structure enabling other trades to commence quickly

• Reduction in site waste, loss and pilferage of valuable materials

• Competitive pricing

PRESERVATIVE TREATMENT AVAILABLE

With our on site treatment plant, we can offer the added peace of mind of having timbers treated with a micro- emulsion based fungicidal and insecticidal wood preservative.

The modern preservative used is both colourless and odourless when processed. Preservation certificates are issued with the delivery of our treated timbers.
