Fire Resistive Designs

Fire Resistive Designs with TrusSteel trusses have proven to be key documents in gaining the confidence and specifications of architects, engineers and end users. These TrusSteel Fire Rated Assemblies have also proven to be living documents, undergoing frequent updates as TrusSteel, along with our partner companies in these listings, continues to expand the Listings to include different materials and material configurations.
