Light Gauge Steel

Light-gauge steel trusses offer many advantages over traditional roof framing components. Because of steel’s incredible strength, light-gauge trusses can be designed for clear spans over 80'. They can eliminate intermediate bearing walls and create
large open spaces. Steel trusses not only span farther, they permit wider on-centre spacing that results in additional labour and material savings. One of steel’s greatest benefits is noncombustibility. Steel will not burn, and does not add fuel to a burning fire. Steel trusses are fully noncombustible and meet even the most stringent fire codes. In many cases they reduce
insurance premiums and possibly eliminate expensive sprinkler systems.

In general, steel provides straighter, tighter and truer framing, resulting in better, long
term performance. Steel isn’t susceptible to rot, insects or mold. It doesn’t warp, twist,
bow, shrink or swell like its wood counterpart. Ceilings remain flat, even and virtually
free from unsightly cracks and “nail pops.”

With countless advantages, Light Gauge Steel proves to be the structural roof framework of choice for builders, contractors and owners alike. From engineering and design to fabrication and delivery, Raney Truss can satisfy your greatest expectations.
