Keeping a roof over your head.

Light steel frame roof trusses have the same capabilities as wooden trusses yet there are many advantages to building a roof using light steel frame. It is lighter than traditional timber and is prefabricated using advanced software resulting in strong, accurate roof trusses suitable for all building types.

Software-designed

Any architectural roof design can be achieved using the software to create designs suitable for a vast array of buildings and situations. Because the steel is software-designed the manufacturing is accurate to less than a millimeter. This saves on engineering time and virtually no reworking is required.

Safety first

The non-combustible nature of the light steel frame makes it much safer than timber, it will not catch fire! This is of particular concern during construction.

Durability

Light steel frame does not suffer from the same degradation as conventional wooden roof trussing. It will not rot, moisture is not an issue and it will not need to be treated with chemicals.

Efficiency

The production and manufacturing process is so consistent that we can be certain about how long it will take to make the components and install. Because the various elements are prefabricated installation of the roof trussing itself is also considerably quicker than traditional methods. This saves a lot of time, hassle and labour costs during construction.

I'm interested using lightweight metal for future extensions on my house.
Do you have a branch in Cape Town.

I like how you mentioned that light steel frame roof trusses have the same capabilities as wooden trusses yet there are many advantages to building a roof using a light steel frame. My uncle works in construction and he says that he needs to build a big storage area for a warehouse. I will suggest to my uncle to get a truss roof so that he can make sure that the project is done properly.
