Looking back to our history, we know that the people before build houses which has a flat roof. People do this due to the fact this roofing is ultimately cheaper and they dont have sufficient knowledge in building quality ones. Thus, their roofs only last for several years because of its weak foundation and the weather affects it.
But nowadays, people have found a new way on how to strengthen the roof foundation and that is by building foundations in different forms aside from flat. They use timber frame trusses which greatly support our roof. Thus, roofs are way much stronger and durable now if you compare with the flat made ones.
Trusses are frames which are commonly made from timber that is kiln dried. These frames are attached beneath your house covering to make a good foundation. Installed with steal nail plate, your truss will become effectively strong. But making these frames will depend on your construction needs and the design you like to have for your home.
The woods are accurately made so it will perfectly fit to your house with a very good strength. From the size, its angling, down to its installation can really give you assurance that your roof is very ready to any weather types. Because of this, below are things that contribute to the strengths and weaknesses of your truss.
The first thing is the making or production process. The timbers have to make it lightweight without sacrificing the wood strength. Most of the time, manufacturers does the kiln drying process that is very efficient in making roof frames which is useable for over many years. After the process, manufacturers then grade the quality of the wood with a device.
The design of truss to support your home covering is very critical. This is because changing a little bit of its parts will surely contribute to weaken your entire house covering part. If you see anything that have changed or needs to change, directly contact your structural engineer. If not, your entire house covering will collapse.
Also, the installation of the wood must be installed and be checked by the engineer as well. Any changes of its peg, screws, or bolts will decrease its installation strength. Thus, this could be a new reason why you always end up getting a collapsed home covering, an additional problem for you.
No matter how reliable these trusses could be, always watch out for certain things that can cause failure. Yes, things can still go wrong in the long run especially with the type of weather it has withstood. Thus, failures could happen anytime to your house and the best way to prevent it is to do inspection.
If the frame is always exposed to damp, this could further lead to strength decrease. Even though you treated your truss for so many times, the damp could still affect the wood. Also, you need to check the natural rotting and decaying of wood or decay due to insect damage. This usually happens to old buildings where frame ends are supported by walls made of stone.
