I Joists
The “I-joist” is a sturdy and lightweight engineered wood component shaped like letter “I”. I beam joists consist of OSB webbing between two flanges, which are made from solid sawn lumber or laminated veneer lumber (LVL) and connected through durable structural adhesives. The strength and stability of the wood i joist make it a popular choice for engineered flooring and roof framing.
Features and Benefits of I Beam Joist:
- – Pre-slotted holes for mechanism.
- – Multiple depths and series for any application and design.
- – LVL flange holds fasteners better and prevents loose nails from causing squeaks,does not shrink over time with changes in moisture.
- -Long Span,timber i joist can span up to 32 feet without support, enabling custom home builders to create the open floor plans acccording to clients’ needs.
