Prefabricated Roof Trusses ...
Total Truss Ballarat Roof Trusses are manufactured using timber webs and chords for maximum rigidity.
Timber Roof Trusses
The Design Benefits of using Total Truss Roof Trusses.
- Assured performance: Total Truss roof and rafter truss systems have been used with outstanding results for over 5 years by designers and builders.
- Design versatility: The long span capacity up to 8 metres or more offers functional design freedom and can eliminate the need for interior support walls and beams.
- Depths to suit: Wide range of standard depths available from 200 to 450mm - or can be manufactured specifically for a particular project.
- Limited space: Designs can accommodate large spans in restricted height applications.
- Cost effective: Timber grade in chords is selected to suit the design requirements of each individual project to provide the most cost effective system.
- Larger spans at low cost: With all-timber trusses the span capacity increases significantly as the truss depth increases at little extra cost.
- Commercial applications: Total Truss roof trusses not only accommodate domestic loads but may also be designed for commercial applications including offices, schools, hospitals and function areas.
- Designed to order: Rigidity required, depth, timber grades and sizes can be varied to suit any individual job requirements. Computer designed for optimal performance efficiency and lowest material cost.
- Wide range of end supports: Standard end support types suit any structural connection required including steel beams, waling plates and other framing connections.
- Extra rigidity in roofs: More rigid than other roofing systems with established dynamic limits to ensure rigidity and to overcome movement.
- Accommodates large ducts: Large rectangular ducts to 500mm wide can fit within the standard design and special duct routing within rows of trusses can be incorporated.
- Dimensionally stable: Fully kiln-dried timber ensures stability, free from movement due to shrinkage.

- Easy to install: Truss end support connections are prefabricated to fit. No cutting or notching will minimize the possibility of mistakes.
- Ease of access: Flexible ducting, electrical wiring and electronic data cabling can be easily run between the truss webs.
- No cutting holes: Simplifies the work of following trades. Plumbing,electrical, plastering. Ventilation ducts and conduits can be simply attached to the webs or chords without any cutting or drilling holes.
- Faster installation: Quicker installation times provide the opportunity to reduce construction costs.
- Stable platform during construction: The wide chord flanges are more stable for tradesmen moving around the elevated areas on a job.
- Lightweight: Trusses are much lighter than solid timber sections. Much easier to handle and lift on site.
- Consistent depth: Roof trusses can be manufactured to the same depth for the entire project to eliminate uneven ceiling levels at little extra cost, regardless of the variations in spans.
- Robust construction: More robust than other prefabricated systems, and more able to resist the effects of mishandling.
