The Hybrid Steel roof truss team is offering complete turn-key, engineered  prefabricated steel roof truss systems and installation packages to the commercial construction markets.

 

Hybrid Steel Framing, Inc., acts as the project’s systems integrator coordinating all efforts between the project’s general contractor, architect and the engineer of record.  This includes systems design, detailing, engineering and complete erection services.

 

The Hybrid prefabricated - pre-engineered Cold-Formed Steel Roof Trusses are an extremely versatile solution for applying complex, architecturally  interesting, and 100% non-combustible roof systems.

 

Advantages of the Hybrid Engineered Roof Truss System

 

The Hybrid pre-engineered steel roof truss system is designed, engineered and fabricated specifically for the requirements of each individual project.  The team is supported by state-of-the-art estimating and design software.

    

Design flexibility

 

Complete Hybrid truss design and engineering services relieves the project’s construction design firm of costly, time consuming roof design work.  This includes all bracing, connections and installation documents.

 

Cold formed steel framing is a superior building material, and an ideal, cost effective alternative to structural steel, bar joist and fire-retardant wood.  Its high strength-to-weight ratio maximizes building design flexibility and provides rigid structural integrity.  Hybrid steel trusses are fabricated with 100% prime steel. 

 

Commercial and institutional structures when a “residential look and feel” is desired.

 

The Hybrid truss design drawings will report truss reactions, uplifts and locations or indications of required permanent bracing to be used by the building designer as needed.

 

Hybrid light gauge steel trusses have the design flexibility to accommodate almost any roof line including complex roof geometries. 

 

Some of the more common truss styles include fink, fan, pratt, king, flat, gable, hip, mansard, mono, cantilever, overhang and scissors trusses.

 

Light gauge components can also be assembled to provide open web floor trusses.

 

 

The Hybrid steel roof trusses will be designed to withstand the specified gravity loads, wind loads and any other loads as specified by the building designer.

 

Steel trusses are compatible with almost every construction type, method or system including light gauge steel, structural steel, CMU, concrete and wood framing.

 

100% non-combustible

 

• Steel is non-combustible and will not contribute to the spread of a fire
• Cost effective one-layer, UL approved roof and ceiling assemblies offer design flexibility
• In many cases they reduce insurance premiums and possibly eliminate expensive sprinkler system

 

Superior strength

 

• Steel possesses the highest strength-to-weight ratio of any building material being used today
• Light gauge steel frames are very strong and lightweight and requires less material as compared to timber
• A steel framed building is more resistant to the effects of severe hurricanes and tornados. 

 

Less maintenance

• Steel is not susceptible to rot, insects or mold.  It does not warp, twist, bow, shrink or swell like its wood counterpart
• Ceilings remain flat, even virtually free from unsightly cracks and “nail pops”
• Steel frames stay straight, unlike timber, which can move and warp during and after construction
• Because of steel’s inert character and the manner which steel framed buildings are insulated, floors and walls are not susceptible to moisture build-up, which contributes to the formation of mold

 

Foundation impact

• Steel’s lightweight allows smaller foundations and less excavation

 

Complete turn-key installation services are included

 

LEED point contributions

• The Hybrid pre-engineered steel roof truss system is considered a Green building system and the benefits are LEED point contributors
•  Minimum of 50% recycled content
•  100% recyclable
•  100% de-construction
• When steel buildings are no longer required in their current location, they an be dismantled and re-erected elsewhere
•  Requires less materials than wood truss systems
• Steel does not have to be treated with pesticides, preservatives or glues, so steel buildings offer indoor air quality benefits
•  Less material wastage
