Floor trusses are able to span farther than dimensional lumber and even I-Joists. This reduces the need for interior bearing and provides space for HVAC, plumbing and electrical systems within the floor panels. Our custom designed floor truss systems reduce the amount of bounce that can be found in conventionally framed floor joist systems.
Anderson Truss Company Inc. floor trusses are widely known for reliable performance. We use strict guidelines to ensure a quality floor system with properly placed duct chases, bearing points, and special loads. A choice of 12 inches – 24 inches deep, and up to 40 feet long.
Advantages of trusses over conventional framing:

- Fewer pieces to handle and reduced installation time
- Wide 3-1/2” nailing surface for easy floor deck application
- Eliminate notching and boring joists for electrical wiring and plumbing
- Floor trusses offer better availability and less in-place cost than 2×8 or 2×10 joists
