Who we are
The TRA is the respected voice of the trussed rafter and metal web joist industry in the UK. We are committed to stringent standards of quality and service and set a professional benchmark for the industry.
Members include the principal manufacturers of trussed rafters, metal web joists, suppliers and professionals involved in roof and floor design and construction. As the only organisation exclusively representing the trussed rafter industry and with members coming from across the complete supply chain, we are frequently consulted on market or legislative changes.
The TRA requires all its manufacturing members to have third-party supervised Quality Assurance and Professional Indemnity insurance, helping to ensure quality and peace of mind for the customer.
