The floor of your building must be properly supported for structural integrity. While you have a few options, floor trusses are most recommended. This system uses a rectangular frame with triangular shaped braces to bear the load of your home and everything inside. Here are a few benefits to consider to decide if it’s right for your project.

What Are the Benefits of Supporting a Floor with Trusses?

1. They’re Economical

Truss systems do not require the additional structural support that other systems do. In addition to paying less for materials, you’ll save on labor costs. Trusses are built ahead of time, and no modifications will need to be made at the construction site. This makes them easy to install, which will save your builder a lot of time in the framing.

2. They Leave an Open Layout

They will not need to cut through your building materials to handle installations and repairs, which saves them time in their work, in turn saving you on labor costs. It will also prevent the possibility of a tradesman making a cut that might compromise the structural integrity of your floor.

3. They Offer Maximum Strength

The triangular shaped braces provide a stronger load bearing surface than I-beam joists. This strength means that your floors will be resistant to common issues such as structural shifting or creaking floors. Trusses stand the test of time and stress with ease.
