Roof Trusses

Roof Trusses provide a structural frame for roof support. They deliver a flexible, practical, simple-to-erect engineered solution to roofing requirements. As they can use up to 40% less timber than a traditionally formed roof, they're not only more suitable, but can be more affordable.

I-Joists

I-Joists are ideal for most flat roof applications and also mono pitched roofs with vaulted ceilings. They are lightweight; easy to install; use 50% less raw material than comparable sawn timber; and have excellent strength to weight ratio. When specified for roof applications, I-Joists help cater for thicker insulation, creating extremely energy-efficient buildings with low U-values. I-Joists are available in long lengths of up to 14m.

Posi-Joists

An open web joist is a composite timber and steel joist forming an open web design, which provides the lightness of timber yet with the strength of a steel web. Posi-Joists are ideal for flat and mono-pitched roofs, and help cater for thicker insulation, creating extremely energy-efficient buildings with low U-values.

Posi-Joists are lightweight, strong, easy to install and available in long lengths. The open web design means that using these joists can eliminate costly cutting and drilling when installing services, allowing you to incorporate modern ventilation and heat recycling systems which can help to achieve higher CSH levels. These joists also provide a very flexible design solution for building contractors - including for future modifications.

LVL (Laminated Veneer Lumber)

LVL (Laminated Veneer Lumber) is an engineered wood product made out of thin laminates of timber, which are glued and compressed to form a high-strength beam material. These panels have excellent bending resistance, tension and compression properties, and greater load-bearing capacity than other timber materials.

Due to the strength of the panels, LVL can be used in a wide range of applications, including as an alternative to steel beams; as lintels within timber frame construction and as bridles/trimmers/headers/main supporting beams/columns.

As well as being stronger than traditionally available timber grades, LVL is very easy to build with due to reduced twisting, warping and splitting. Furthermore, as LVL is so strong, it can be used for horizontal or vertical solutions, which allows for much greater design possibilities.

Spandrel Panels

Spandrel Panels are structural timber frame panels made to the profile of the roof, forming the party and/or gable walls. Supplied with the trussed rafters, spandrel panels provide a dividing wall, suitable for masonry, steel and timber frame construction.

Due to the ease and speed of erection, spandrel panels provide a time saving and cost effective alternative to building up masonry walls. Spandrel panels can be supplied with acoustic and fire rated properties to suit the clients' requirements.

Roof Cassettes

We provide Roof Cassettes including Smartroof which is a revolutionary pre-insulated interlocking panel system that enables the contractor to achieve wind and water-tightness within 3 - 4 hours per plot from eaves level. Spanning gable to gable, up to around 5.4m long, the smartroof system is suitable for simple room-in-the-roof terraced and semi-detached house styles up to approximately 10 metres wide.
