January 3, 2024

Light Weight Cold Formed Steel Trusses are superior to Wood Trusses

Quality assurance, and the sourcing of cost-effective, superior materials, is a primary concern in any modern building project and modern builder. One approach that can make a substantial difference in project quality and efficiency is to use roof trusses made with cold formed steel (CFS).

CFS roof trusses work well for projects of residential homes. They are a very durable and cost-effective alternative to wood trusses, helping FrameUpNow customers from DIY builders to Production Building accelerate production.

Roof trusses fabricated from Cold Formed Steel several advantages over the use of trusses made with wood.

CFS Trusses are Applicable to a wide range of building projects, anywhere

CFS trusses are widely used in projects of various sizes and shapes. Be it a multi-story building, a hotel, a corporate office building, an academic institution, or a healthcare facility, CFS roof trusses are virtually unlimited in application.

CFS trusses can partly solve the problem of finding skilled labor or sourcing wood where specialized construction labor is scarce or wood sourcing is limited.

CFS trusses offer greater production accuracy and can be installed with greater ease by being lightweight, projects move forward even in locations where labor shortages or wood supply are common construction issues. In addition, exact specifications mean less waste and fewer concerns about onsite adjustments.

CFS Trusses are better than than wood, in more ways than one

CFS is not subject to many of the problems encountered with wood in construction.

CFS roof trusses are stronger and of consistent quality, designed with high accuracy with advanced software and FrameUpNow standards more complex designs can be achieved.

In addition, CFS trusses are designed and prefabricated with extreme precision. After specification with our FrameUpNow process, each part is built exactly as needed and expected.

Finally, wood is subject to damage from weather conditions such as rain or snow. Particularly during the construction phase, this can cause costly delays. CFS trusses avoid this possibility, keeping project timelines on track.

Practically any type of roof can be built with CFS trusses.

Roofs made of CFS trusses can fit any type of building. No matter the planned roof shape, CFS trusses can be designed by FrameUpNow and manufactured to achieve the intended purpose. They can be fabricated to meet the requirements of roof load and a large choice of roof shapes, whether it’s a common hip roof or a mono-pitched roof (sloped roof with one incline).
