Floor Trusses
Floor trusses are the engineered components to creating a floor system. They're an interconnecting system of joists, made from nominal lumber and gusset plates that allow for an open space and easy access for the installation of plumbing, electrical and HVAC.
Floor Truss Details
Floor Trusses are custom designed and factory built using nominal lumber (2×4) and connected together with metal gusset plates. They are an engineered solution, designed and manufactured to suit both custom and simple builds.
