Below are our main truss types that can be used in any combination to produce your roof solution.

Finks – Traditional Trusses for an economic and versatile roof solution

Fink Truss, with Pitch, height and Span (over wall plates)The roof load is usually supported on the wallplates; a timber diagonal web strengthens the truss and provides a very economical solution in a wide range of applications.

Each single span is precision-manufactured at widths of up to 12 metres. In some cases, ETS has manufactured fink trusses with even wider spans, but this depends on load height restrictions. Wider spans can always be achieved with additional supports.

With a large range of spans and a pitch range from 15 to 60°, fink truss is hugely versatile and cost-effective.

Raised Ties – create more room space

Raised Tile Trusses, Roof Pitch, Collar Height and Span over Wall plates

Raised ties are used extensively to provide a higher ceiling line than the Fink and are ideal in “cottage” house styles.

Raised ties instantly provide more internal room space and with ETS’s  advanced techniques, we can now design and produce larger spans and higher collar heights than ever – without the need for steel beams.

Attic/Room in the Roof Trusses – a brand new living area

This truss type transforms unused roof voids into valuable new living space.

The floor joist is incorporated into the truss structure and ETS has refined its design enormously in the past decade to provide a range of spans and options which convert wasted roof void space into top quality living areas.
