The software used by our experienced design team allows us to optimise timber components, loading requirements and reduce wastage compared to onsite stick built alternatives.

SAVE UP TO 3-4 HOURS OF INSTALLATION TIME

Truss and frame manufactured by Dahlsens is available with Pryda FastFix™ Internal Wall Screw (IWS), a fast, safe and error-free alternative to the traditional and often incorrectly installed L Brackets which connect the bottom chords to wall frames. IWS is a one-piece fixing, which speeds up installation time.

SAVE TIME INSTALLING DOUBLE TOP PLATE FRAMES

Thanks to the new FastFix™ Framing Screw from Pryda, available as standard on all prefabricated truss and frame from Dahlsens, carpentry crews won’t need to attach stud ties after the second top plate is installed (when designed), saving up to 3-4 hours on site.

Flooring systems

Dahlsens offer prefabricated flooring systems which not only speed up installation onsite, but also cater for long spans, cantilevers and depths to suit any loading requirement.

Design Advantages

Dahlsens’ flooring systems reduce and eliminate the need for additional structural materials and onsite labour. Large cantilevers and long spans over 7m can eliminate the need for interior support walls, timber and steel beams.

Cost Competitiveness

Dahlsens’ flooring systems are easy and fast to install. All end supports are manufactured to fit and no cutting or notching is required. Ease of access is enabled for following trades with flexible ducting, wiring and cabling easily run through the structural truss web profile.

Visualise your 2D plan in 3D!

Dahlsens’ 3D View program is accessed via a QR Code that appears on your truss and frame manufactured plans to make it easy to understand the structure in the context of the surrounding space. In addition, 3D View gives you the following:

  • A real 3D view of the finished project before lifting a finger
  • The 3D model enables the homeowner to get a good understanding of how things will be laid out
  • The 3D model can be rotated for different perspectives and to gather additional views

The 3D view can be used before, during and after installation of your frame, floor or truss to give you a better picture of how to start, key intersections and as a checking tool.

Ask for Dahlsens 3D View to be included on your next layout.
