Top chord support
The easi-joists® is not limited in its support capabilities. Various options including top chord support are included.
Long-term stability
The reduced sections 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.
Comparative with timber
The easi-joist® system can be manufactured to the minimum depth required in the standard codes of practice.
Improved sound and vibration
The metal floor system allows for the integration of a rigid strongback that reduces vibration and improves the overall performance of the floor.
End conditions can be altered, so that no two are the same it is also possible to have extendable/trimmable nibs to take into account minor site alterations.
