Timber Floor Joists

Easy installation of engineering communications

The open design of Posi-Joist beams allows easy and quick installation of ventilation pipes, sewerage, and electrical wires through the beams themselves, without making additional drillings or cuts in them.

Cost Savings

The system provides overall savings because it requires fewer on-site work hours and reduces material consumption.

Design flexibility and longer spans

Thanks to the combination of metal 'V' shaped connectors and wood strength, these beams can span larger lengths (over 4.50 m) than standard wooden beams, often eliminating the need for load-bearing partition walls.

Fast assembly

The beams are manufactured industrially to precise dimensions; they are lightweight and easy to assemble, which significantly speeds up the construction process and improves quality control.

Posi-Joist beams

If your project requires placing communications within the floor joists, Posi-Joist offers a well-thought-out solution. Its open web structure allows for the routing of plumbing, electrical, and recuperation system communications, saving time and money during construction, while also providing access for future maintenance.
