The OWTFA (Ontario Wood Truss Fabricators Association) is an industry
association of truss manufacturers, suppliers and engineers to the truss
industry. The objective of the association is to promote both the use of wood
trusses in residential, commercial and agricultural structures and the highest
level of quality in the end product, plated trusses.
Benefits of Plated Wood Trusses

assembled and require little skilled labour on site, saving both time and money
for the builder.
- Precision-engineered wood trusses meet or exceed all building codes.
- Wood trusses are a viable alternative to other building materials including
steel.
- Truss software design programs allow for optimal designs and allow
designers to create an endless variety of rooflines.

- Plated wood trusses have been proven in both roof and floor installations
throughout Ontario in residential and commercial installations.
