Description:
TrusSteel® pre-engineered cold-formed steel trusses are easy to specify, design and inspect. They install quickly and safely because of their superior stiffness and high strength-to-weight ratio. TrusSteel trusses have a number of UL Listed roof and floor assemblies. Local TrusSteel fabricators, using Alpine steelVIEW software, provide sealed truss designs, standard details, guide specifications, construction hardware, estimates and finished trusses.
