Materials:
All lumber used by Sun Truss (2004) Ltd. is purchased from companies that practice Sustainable Forest Management. We believe that sound forest stewardship ensures that resources are used in a sustainable manner thus ensuring the forests will be available for future generations of British Columbians.
We use the following types of lumber:
- SPF 2&Btr Kiln Dried
- SPF MSR 2100 Kiln Dried
- SPF Select Structural Kiln Dried
- Fir 2&Btr Kiln Dried
- Fir MSR Kiln Dried
- Fir Select Structural Kiln Dried
All of the lumber used in our products is Kiln Dried because we believe it makes a more dimensionally stable truss.
In addition, we are able to source other specialty materials as required for specific projects such as pressure treated or heat treated lumber.
