Ever wondered what’s holding up your floor—and why some builders choose floor trusses over traditional joists? In this episode of All About Home Construction, we dive deep into the world of floor trusses. We’ll explain what they are, why they’re so popular in modern builds, and how they compare to solid lumber and I-joists.

We’ll cover the benefits like long spans and easy mechanical access, as well as the drawbacks such as cost, lead time, and fire safety requirements. Plus, we’ll talk with an expert to answer common questions: How far can they span? Are they worth the investment? What should you know before using them in your home?

Whether you’re building new, renovating, or just curious about how homes are put together, this episode will give you the knowledge to make smarter decisions.
