A-Frame Blasting FAQ

Questions to settle before you decide.

Can you blast high A-frame trusses without damaging the roof felt or insulation above?

Yes. Blast nozzles are angled away from roof linings and controlled at low pressures with fine media, cleaning only the exposed faces of the timber truss.
