Market Update | June 2023


Floor Trusses

Floor trusses are superior solution to conventional floors as they are easier and faster to install than other floor systems. Floor trusses are 3 ½” wide, which allows them to stand on their own during installation. They also have more surface space for gluing and nailing the subfloor. This will ensure a squeak free floor system.

Floor trusses also have open webs that allow the trade contractors to run electrical wires and plumbing without having to drill holes in a joist. It also has added value in the fact that HVAC duct chases can be built into the floor systems, thus eliminating the need to frame in the duct below the ceiling.

Other benefits include:

  • Additional Design Benefits
  • Customer Floor Depths
  • End Bearing Options [Top Chord/Bottom Chord]
  • Cantilever Spans
  • Built in Beam Pockets
  • Keyed Bearing or Shared Bearing
  • Ability to Design Stronger Trusses to Reduce Deflection Issues
  • Labor Savings
  • Elimination of Material Waste
  • Speed of Erection/Installation
  • Consistency
