Roof Trusses
Our roof trusses combine PEFC-certified timber with CE-marked engineering to deliver durable, cost-effective solutions. These pre-manufactured systems reduce on-site construction time by eliminating traditional steel beams. Available in attic or mono configurations, they maximise usable space while accommodating complex roofscapes up to 16m spans. The integrated gable and spandrel panels further streamline construction processes.
Metal Web Joists
Metal web joists offer superior strength-to-weight ratios with open-web design for easy service integration. Manufactured under ISO 9001 standards, these engineered solutions span longer distances while reducing timber usage by 20%. Their acoustic performance achieves 40dB sound reduction and the lightweight construction minimises manual handling risks during installation across residential and commercial developments.
Curved Roof Trusses
Crafted from sustainably sourced timber, our curved trusses create elegant barrel ceilings for heritage restorations or contemporary designs. Each structure undergoes rigorous engineering calculations to meet planning constraints while maintaining aesthetic appeal. The pre-assembled units ensure rapid installation, with optional supply-and-fit services available for complex architectural requirements in both residential and commercial settings.
Timber Treatment
Vacsol Aqua-treated timber provides 60-year protection against decay and insect attack using solvent-free, metal-free preservatives. This BAT-award-winning treatment maintains dimensional stability while meeting EN 599-1 standards. The water-based solution is HSE-approved and compatible with metal fixings, offering enhanced durability for structural components in use classes 1 and 2 applications across all construction sectors.
Spandrel Panels
Factory-produced spandrel panels offer fire-rated alternatives to masonry party walls, reducing on-site construction time by 40%. These prefabricated timber systems integrate lifting straps for safe installation alongside roof trusses. Custom configurations with fire-resistant and moisture-resistant materials meet secure-by-design requirements while improving health and safety compliance during building envelope construction.
