Metal Trusses: Modern Precision for Tomorrow's Buildings
In the realm of modern construction, metal trusses are rapidly gaining prominence for their sleek design and unmatched resilience. Watson Metals offers metal trusses that are both stronger and long lasting. Made from high-quality metals, these trusses are resistant to environmental factors like fire and rot, ensuring longevity and minimal maintenance. Our metal trusses provide a streamlined look while guaranteeing structural integrity.

Perfect for residential and commercial structures alike, they seamlessly blend with traditional and contemporary architectural designs. Beyond their visual charm, our wood trusses are engineered for durability, offering a reliable foundation that stands the test of time.

Which Type of Truss Is Better for You: Metal or Wood?
Metal trusses boast superior strength, enhanced durability, and heightened fire resistance compared to their wooden counterparts. They stand as the preferred choice for edifices requiring extensive spans or bearing hefty loads. However, it's worth noting that while they offer these advantages, metal trusses are more expensive and more difficult to install.
On the other hand, wood trusses are a cost-effective and energy-efficient alternative. They excel in providing commendable sound insulation. But it's essential to be aware that while they offer these benefits, wood trusses don't match the strength and longevity of metal ones and can be vulnerable to fire, decay, and pests.
Ultimately, the ideal truss for your endeavor hinges on your distinct requirements and financial plan. For projects demanding robust and long-lasting support, metal trusses shine. But if cost-efficiency and energy conservation are paramount, wooden trusses make a compelling case.
