Get to know the various types of roof trusses for your residential roof construction

Building every part of your roof construction certainly requires consideration, such as the types of roof trusses that will be used. The following are the types of roof trusses that are often used and can be your reference.


1. Light Steel Horses

One of the reasons for choosing light steel easels as a substitute for wooden easels is because wood is quite difficult to find and the price is relatively expensive.

Light steel horses are light in weight and the work process can be done quickly.


2. Conventional Steel Horses

Conventional steel trusses are often used in buildings that have quite wide roof spans, such as meeting buildings or halls and also factories. Conventional steel uses profile steel that is quite thick so that the load on the shoulder is clearly heavier.


3. Concrete Easel

These roof trusses are made of reinforced concrete which is often used for residential roofs. In installation practice, concrete trusses require greater precision, so the ability to calculate the roof using the correct arrangement is required.


4. Wooden Easel

These horses are very popular in Indonesia. The advantages offered include practicality and ease of placing trusses as supports for other components in house construction. Installation is safer because the material will not transmit electricity to the stem.


That's a brief summary of the types of house roof trusses. Hopefully this short article and review can help and provide a reference for you when you want to build your dream home, especially the roof.
