Timber Roof Trusses
Our timber roof trusses provide cost-effective structural solutions with 600mm spacing optimising timber usage. The system eliminates intermediate supports, allowing architectural flexibility while maintaining structural integrity. Our trusses undergo rigorous quality checks and come with full structural calculations for regulatory compliance.
Metal Web Floor Joists
Metal web floor joists combine strength and efficiency, offering superior load-bearing capacity with reduced material usage. These engineered solutions enable faster installation and accommodate modern building requirements while maintaining compliance with UKCA and CE standards.
Timber Frame Systems
Custom-designed timber frame systems provide sustainable structural solutions for residential and commercial buildings. Our factory-engineered frames ensure precision and durability, compatible with various external finishes while meeting modern energy efficiency standards.
Feature Trusses
Custom feature trusses create striking architectural elements with exposed timber ceilings. Available in softwood, Douglas fir, or green oak, these structures combine aesthetic appeal with structural integrity through precision-engineered joints and connections.
