EASI-JOISTS^®

Easi-joists are parallel chord beams utilising stress graded timber chords. These chords are plated together with a precision engineered and manufactured structural component called the metal web, these when combined form the easi-joist^®.

The easi-joist^® combines the lightness of timber with the structural qualities of the metal web, together these two components offer an opportunity for designing domestic, commercial and industrial floor applications with spans equal to and exceeding traditional timber joists and their equivalent timber alternatives, but with better damping and stiffness qualities.

BENEFITS

• Open web design: This allows for easier, more practical installation of services including waste water pipes, electrical cabling, heating pipes and other services.
• Quick and easy to install: The minimum 72mm width allows for a speedy set out prior to laying floorboards without the need for temporary bracing. The simple strongback system replaces time-consuming herringbone strutting.
• Lightweight: The combination of smaller timber sections with the light weight metal web means that the finished product is lighter than timber and other floor joist systems.
• Long term stability: The reduced kiln dried timber section used in the manufacture of the easi-joist^® combined with the metal web means that less loss of moisture and shrinkage is seen meaning a quieter and longer lasting floor system.
• Improved sound and vibration: The metal web floor system allows for the installation of a rigid Strongback brace which reduces vibration and improves the overall performance of the floor.
• Reduced site wastage: precisely manufactured easi-joists^® virtually eliminate all site alterations.
• Wide surfaces: allows secure and easy fixing of floorboards/ plasterboard.

JOIST DEPTHS

easi-joists^® are available in 8 depths: 195mm, 219mm, 230mm, 254mm, 280mm, 304mm, 393mm and  417mm.
