The role of trussed rafters and joists in construction

Trussed rafters and joists play a critical role in modern construction, providing structural integrity and efficiency in roof and floor systems. As essential components in residential and commercial buildings, their quality and reliability directly impact safety, durability, and long-term performance.

As CCPI adoption grows, standardising product information across trussed rafter and joist manufacturers will contribute to raising industry-wide benchmarks, ensuring that customers receive products that meet the highest standards of performance and reliability.
