Choosing the Right Roof Truss Supplier for You

Different roof truss suppliers can offer a range of services to suit your requirements. Here are a few services that can be provided:
- Site visit
- Design
- Manufacture
- Delivery
- Technical documentation and advice
Site Visit
It is important to ensure that your roof trusses are designed and manufactured to the correct, and exact, specifications and measurements. Therefore, a virtual site measure can be beneficial if you are not sure about the figures you are meant to provide.
Not all roof truss manufacturers provide a service of this nature, but here at Pasquill we can offer you this service. Your local Design Team will arrange for a virtual site measure to carry out your measurements and confirm your project requirements.
Design
The roof of your home is the key focal point exterior to the house and therefore it is important to get the design correct. It is important to decide whether you want a traditional pitched, flat or curved design, but you also need to consider the structural system used and whether you want to use the roof space as a living space. In addition to this, it is important to know the type of roof you want and thus the type of roof truss required (e.g. fink, mono, attic, etc.).
The size, spacing and span of the roof trusses must be carefully calculated and designed by highly skilled technical employees. Pasquill use the leading software provider for structural timber engineering, MiTek Pamir, to design your roof trusses. The software allows Designers to create 3D models of your requirements which allows you to gain a better understanding of your drawings.
Manufacture
Roof trusses are manufactured off-site in a safe and controlled environment. This helps speed up installation on-site and also reduces labour cost.
Pasquill have continued to heavily invest in all our manufacturing sites, in equipment technology and infrastructure, to ensure we improve our operational efficiency, performance, quality, environment, health and safety. Find out about our recent investments here.
