An I-Joist is an engineered wood joist, designed to eliminate the problems that occur when using traditional timber joists. The joists are shaped like an &#;I&#; and are lightweight, but strong. I-Joists are produced under strict quality control, so that natural imperfections that are found in natural timbers are none-existant.

Joists are most commonly used in floors but can also be used in roofs and studwork walls.
I-Joist to I-Joist fixings will be included in all packages. Our team will determine the most effective Simpson hangers for the application based on the design.
Because I-Joists are linear engineered products, they eliminate the natural defects and the need for over-design. An I-joist has two main parts, the web and flange. The web is sandwiched between a top and bottom flange, creating the &#;I&#; shape.
Yes, holes can be cut in I-Joists to accommodate wires and piping. Holes should be positioned in the middle of the web. The location and maximum sizes of the holes can be calculated in accordance with the drawing and table opposite.
Considerable savings can be made due to the advanced engineered properties of the joist and the amount of time required for installation. To get a quote for your project, just contact our engineered timber team.
