🏗️ C Truss Lightweight Steel Truss System for Roofing – Strong, Rust-Resistant, and Cost-Efficient
In today’s modern construction, traditional timber roof framing is increasingly being replaced by more reliable, durable, and efficient solutions. One of the best alternatives is the Lightweight Steel Truss System, designed using high-tensile steel such as Aluzinc or galvanized steel (GI). This system is engineered for roof support, offering structural strength, longevity, and savings in both time and cost.
Whether you’re working on a residential home, commercial shoplot, factory warehouse, or school project, lightweight steel trusses are the smart choice for roofing systems in Malaysia’s hot, humid, and rain-prone climate.
🔍 What is a Lightweight Steel Truss System?
A lightweight steel truss system is a roof framing method that utilizes cold-formed steel sections, usually in a C-profile or U-profile, arranged in a triangular or webbed pattern to form a complete truss. These steel members are manufactured with precision and assembled on-site or off-site to form a stable structure that supports the roofing load effectively.
Compared to traditional timber, steel trusses are termite-proof, fire-resistant, dimensionally stable, and require minimal maintenance, making them ideal for long-term building investments.
✅ Key Benefits of Lightweight Steel Trusses
| 🌟 Feature | 💡 Benefits |
|---|---|
| High Strength with Low Weight | Steel trusses provide excellent load-bearing capacity while remaining lightweight, reducing stress on the building structure. |
| Corrosion Resistance | Coated with Aluzinc or GI, the trusses are resistant to rust, oxidation, and moisture, even in coastal or rainy areas. |
| Fast and Easy Installation | Pre-cut and precision-manufactured components ensure quicker assembly, reducing labor and project duration. |
| Eco-Friendly | Steel is 100% recyclable and helps reduce deforestation caused by timber use. |
| Fire and Pest Resistant | Unlike wood, steel trusses will not burn, warp, or attract termites and insects. |
| Long Lifespan | Properly installed and coated steel trusses can last 30–40 years or more. |

📌 Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
1. Is lightweight steel truss better than timber?
Yes. It is more durable, termite-proof, fire-resistant, and doesn’t warp or rot over time.
2. How long does a steel truss system last?
With proper coating and installation, it can last 30–40 years or longer without significant corrosion.
3. Can it be customized to fit different roof designs?
Absolutely. We fabricate to your exact span, pitch, and loading requirement with architectural drawings.
4. Is Aluzinc better than GI?
Yes. Aluzinc offers superior corrosion protection due to its aluminium-zinc-silicon coating blend.
