WHY CHOOSE OUR ROOFING SOLUTIONS?
Timber is a scarce commodity in the Southern African region. A number of countries use square tube and angle iron in place of timber roof trusses. There is a dire need for alternative building solutions in Sub Saharan Africa. Our lightweight steel roof trusses are the perfect solution. All steel components are designed on Trumod’s CAD software system to meet the project requirements. All roofing materials are pre-cut and punched for fast and easy assembly, no jigs are required on site. We will train installers when required. In addition, Trumod supplies the components for a full roofing solution, to meet your needs. These include assembly components, accessories, roof sheeting or tiling.
