Trussed Rafters

Trussed Rafters are structural engineered individual components made from kiln-dried TR26 timbers, joined together with steel nail-plates. They are designed to support the roof fabric, ceilings and/or floors together with providing the shape of the roof.

In the last 50 years Trussed Rafters have become the most widely used form of roof construction in both the domestic and commercial building sectors, and have almost displaced the need for site carpentry.

At Taylor Lane all timbers are cut using the latest Randek CNC computerised saws that enable accurate cutting with maximum speed. The individual components are then assembled on our 33m long table press.

All trussed rafters are supplied clearly labelled together with site fixing drawings and details that enable speedy and correct installation.
