Floor systems can be trussed, conventionally framed, or built with engineered wood products such as I-Joists. Both trusses and engineered wood products are engineered, and have wider nailing surfaces for the floor decking. Trusses are built with open chases for ductwork and have natural open spaces for plumbing and electrical wiring.
Floor trusses can be manufactured with many different possible end conditions to accommodate different installation needs; around raised walls, picketed beams, headers around stairways, etc.
OPEN CONFIGURATION (OPEN WEB) FLOOR TRUSSES
Open Web Floor Trusses eliminate the need for down-framing to hide mechanicals and can span further and also be spaced further apart than conventional 2x framing, providing a value engineered design (less money at the end of the day).
Since its an engineered product, WCC can provide sealed drawings.
