Curved steel trusses
Balance steelframe has developed a strong curved truss suitable for many applications. Radius can be varied within limits and the roof lined in the normal way.

Consideration should also be given to leaving the truses and beams exposed for that groovy industrial look. One client has powder-coated his beams and the effect is very pleasing, expressing the structural bones of a building in bright colours.
