Why builders choose floor trusses
Compared with dimensional lumber joists, engineered floor trusses offer:
- Longer clear spans for open floor plans
- Built-in web openings for MEP routing without field cutting
- Wide nailing surfaces that help with subfloor installation
- Consistent depth and camber controlled in the plant
- Strongbacks and ribbon details designed into the layout
Information we need
Send architectural floor plans, the structural framing plan, wall and beam locations, intended floor finishes (tile, wood, carpet), any concentrated loads such as tubs or mechanical units, and required duct chase sizes and locations.
Coordination with roof packages
For multi-level projects, combining floor and roof trusses into a single package helps align bearing, load paths, and delivery sequencing.
Frequently asked
Can floor trusses accommodate large ducts?
Yes. Duct chase size and location should be identified on submitted plans so the truss layout can be designed around them.
What depths are available?
Depth is selected based on span, loading, and deflection criteria. Our team will recommend depths during plan review.
