Truss: the balance between tradition and modern functionality
The Truss system by Tesi System uses main beams made of prestressed reinforced concrete, designed with a double slope of 10%, combined with TT Tegoli, Syntesi slabs, or precast reinforced concrete purlins for the secondary framework.
Thanks to its wide valley, the Capriata system ensures maximum reliability in water runoff and collection, even under severe weather conditions, guaranteeing the highest safety for pedestrian traffic.
The roofing can be completed with metal or fiber cement sheets and insulated with glass wool mats or single- or double-sheet composite panels, customizable according to specific needs.
