Trusses

Prefabrication of timber roofs with the use of Mitek nail plates:

• gives a new dimension to the construction of timber roofs,
• gives a possibility to adjust the chosen solution to the shape of the roof and the investment costs,
• enables to design internal walls in various ways without the need to pour foundations underneath them,
• gives a possibility to accommodate a large attic without the use of supporting pillars,
• makes the assembly of electrical installations, parts of ventilation and insulation systems or others a very easy task.

Prefabrication

Nowadays, the construction industry most often uses prefabricated elements – it applies either to concrete, hollow blocks or roofs. These days, it would be very difficult to imagine that the particular components are manufactured at the construction site. The technological progress and the computerisation of production processes have resulted in the fact that the above-mentioned elements are now manufactured in specialised plants from where they are later delivered to the construction site at the most convenient time.

It is worth knowing that the prefabrication of rafter framing is a technology, which is highly popular in the well-developed countries such as France or Sweden (about 90% of roof structures are made in that way). Prefabricated roof structures made from solid timber joined with the help of nail connector plates by Mitek are also widely used in the Czech Republic, United States or Canada.

The prefabrication technology of trusses joined by nail plates produced by the company Mitek is the best solution for the construction of residential superstructures. Prefabricated trusses are light and they only slightly weigh down the roof and the foundations of the existing building. The bottom chord of the truss may independently transfer the load to the outer walls. In addition, the fact that the truss construction can be shaped in various ways helps to adjust the body of the superstructure into the surroundings of the building.

• quick assembly of components that are produced in an outside plant – in good weather the assembly of the rafter framing, roof covering and implementation of anti-flood protection takes only two days (it is extremely important in case of inhabited buildings),
• limitation to a minimum of technological discontinuation of works (thanks to the continuity of production),
• efficient use of materials,
• comprehensive finishing,
• possibility of arranging the residential space in various ways (thanks to the implementation of structures without pillars in the attic),
• shortening of working hours at the construction site,
• shortening of the production cycle,
• lightness of the structure,
• limitation of construction works exclusively to assembly works,
• energy efficiency (thanks to remarkable technical parameters),
• possibility to manufacture the prefabricated elements independently from the weather conditions,
• high quality of constructed structures,
• lower construction costs,
• accuracy of construction,
• possibility of constructing roof structures in almost every possible shape

SINGLE -FAMILY HOUSING

„Roof over your house faster than you think“/“Modern roofing solutions for your house“

The main advantages of roof trusses:

• Comprehensive service with a guarantee
• Low costs
• Larger attic space without pillars
• Smooth surfaces
• Quick assembly within 1-2 days
• No risk of thefts at the construction site
• Savings on foundations
• Non-limited interior designing possibilities
• No need to build expensive concrete roofs that could be replaced with a light timber structure

Rafter framing with trusses in houses with attic:

• Open space with no pillars, which can be arranged in various ways (our imagination is the only limitation)
• In certain cases in order to lower the costs it is possible to use trusses with nail plates (when the bottom chord of the truss is a ceiling structure)

Rafter framing in houses with non-usable attic:

Contrary to traditional rafter framing structures, the truss structure with nail plates does not rest on a concrete ceiling but constitutes a roof structure itself. Such solution turns out to be very practical especially in case of single-storey buildings with non-usable attic.

• Elimination of concrete ceiling provides significant savings
• Possibility of finding additional attic space
• Possibility of arranging external walls in various ways

Construction for agriculture

The products offered by Akrobud can also be used in the agricultural sector. The solutions we propose can be distinguished by the fact that they are much cheaper than the traditional construction methods, which helps to lower the investment costs.

Timber trusses enable the construction of a durable (also in case of roofs with larger span) yet light and resistant structure. Thanks to the use of modern solutions and technology it is possible to quickly and easily assemble the entire “structure” as well as its separate elements such as insulation boards or roof coverings.

The trusses manufactured by Akrobud are used in farm sheds, garage buildings, buildings where agricultural machinery is being stored, barns, piggeries, henhouses and other farming facilities used by the farmers.

A significant issue related to the trusses dedicated for agricultural sector is the cost of purchase of such solution, as its price is lower than the price of traditional steel, concrete or made of reinforced concrete structures. Moreover, a great advantage of using such technology consists in the lack of additional pillars supporting the structure, which expands the usable area of facilities and their usable opportunities.

The parameters of each construction are designed and adjusted to the individual needs and expectations of the customers, which guarantees a maximum functional character of a given facility.

Are you looking for a quick, economic and environment friendly construction method, which would be suitable for the construction of sheds, farming buildings or piggeries? Get to know our solutions dedicated for the agricultural sector and check yourself what we can offer to you....Read more

Industrial

Wood is an extremely durable material. At the same time it is very light, which leads to it being widely used in the industrial construction sector.

Thanks to the use of solid wood trusses bonded together with the help of metal nail connector plates, which are pressed into the lumber, we can obtain structures, which are either simple in shape or non-standard that are adjusted to the needs and expectations of our clients. Highly precise designs that take advantage of modern and trusted technologies and based on accurate structural calculations guarantee maximum durability of the structures whilst keeping all ergonomic features such as the best possible use of usable area in commercial premises or storage halls. The effect? Fast and efficient implementation of every investment project.

Advantages of the use of wooden structures:

• savings – the costs of such solution are even up to 40% lower than the costs of traditional construction methods based on the use of steel and reinforced concrete,
• roof span up to 30 meters without the need of additional supporting pillars thanks to the use of a durable and strong joints made of nail connector plates,
• possibility to shape the roof structure in a variety of ways depending on the needs and preferences of the clients,
• perfect roof coating eg. with PIR foams,
• time-saving (no discontinuities in the construction works),
• quick assembly of roof structures,
• easy and simple method of assembling roof structures,
• possibility of simultaneous construction of the roof and walls
• ecological solution, environment-friendly
