The quality steel roof trusses Melbourne construction relies on

Working on an upcoming construction project? Opt for a leading supplier of steel roof trusses Melbourne like Cortek.

For quality construction, you need the best steel roof trusses in Melbourne – in this article we’ll break down the benefits of steel vs. timber and look at why it’s important to go with a trusted supplier.

Quality matters:

The fact is, not all steel roof trusses are created equal and quality can vary greatly. With something as integral to a construction build as roof trusses, you need to be able to rely on the quality of every aspect – this includes having the ultimate in design, engineering, and fabrication. 

During construction, the last thing you want is to worry about something as significant as your structure’s roof truss.  You want to know that your roof trusses will be able to stand the test of time. Poorly designed or manufactured trusses can be the cause of serious problems, so always opt for quality and go with a trusted, affordable supplier like Cortek.

There are several clear advantages to the steel roof trusses we use at Cortek when compared against alternatives. To start with, let’s break down the advantages of steel roof trusses over timber:

Once upon a time, timber roof trusses were the go-to, but industry wide we’re seeing builders, architects, trades and suppliers opting for light gauge steel trusses (and for good reason!). 

So, let’s look at the advantages of steel roof trusses as opposed to a timber roof truss:

Benefits of steel roof trusses include:

• Easier installation on site
• Lower labour costs
• Fast manufacturing and lightweight construction
• Stronger and more durable, designed to support any weather conditions
• No need for onsite cutting or fabrication
• Designed to suit the application and the contractor 
• Fast manufacturing and lightweight  construction
  

Another huge bonus of opting for a steel roof truss is that there’s no risk of damage from pests like termites and other insects. This means there’s no need to use pesticide treatments, saving you time and money in the long run.

Some say that timber is considered more environmental-friendly – but it’s important to remember that steel frames can easily be recycled – offering a much more sustainable, long-term solution to framing.

Steel roof trusses also weigh significantly less than timber versions which means steel is a faster, more cost-effective and convenient choice for a range of building applications. We’ve seen this success first-hand at Cortek, for construction projects of all sizes – including multi-residential projects, aged care and schools.
