Service 03 · Metal trusses
Steel roof frames that stay straight
Steel roof trusses fabricated and erected as the roof’s structural frame, ready for purlins and sheeting.
Light-gauge steel trusses are straight, consistent and termite-proof, which makes them well suited to long spans and complex shapes. We set out and fix the trusses to the ring beam, brace them, and add purlins or battens to suit the roof covering, whether longspan sheets, Eurotiles or shingles.
