Trusses bring virtually unlimited architectural versatility, providing simple solutions to complex designs and unusual conditions without inhibiting building design freedom. Using trusses, you have complete flexibility in interior room arrangements, too. Using Alpine's proprietary VIEW software, truss designers can produce engineered shapes that satisfy virtually any aesthetic and functional specification by the building design professional. Trusses are an engineered and tested product. There are nationally recognized standards for truss design and manufacturing of metal plate connected wood trusses. These standards have been adopted by major model building codes. This ensures a quality product. Alpine Professional Engineers are committed to providing the highest quality, cost efficient structural products for your clients. Trusses span longer than conventional framing, so you have more open space to work with in the interior. Truss manufacturers using Alpine software are available for consultation when special framing situations arise. Wood trusses connected with metal plates enjoy an outstanding record of more than 35 years of proven performance and durability. State of the art truss design software allows manufacturers to design them to be: • Hurricane-resistant, and/or • Withstand heavy snow loads, and/or • Support storage areas above the ceiling. You can get a one- or two-hour fire rating with trusses using the FR-Quik System.
