Floor Joists - Engineered Metal Web Floor Joists

Engineered metal web joists, also known as open web joists, are a type of joist used in modern construction to support floors and ceilings. They are made by combining metal webbing with timber, creating a strong lightweight joist that can span greater distances than traditional solid timber joists.

Our engineered metal web joists are designed to be versatile, as they can be used for a variety of construction projects, from residential to commercial buildings. They are also pre-cut to specific building dimensions, which helps to reduce labour costs and the chances of on site changes being made.

These joists are designed to be lightweight, yet strong and rigid. The open web design of these joists allow for easy installation of other utilities, such as plumbing and electrics. This makes them ideal for use in modern, energy efficient buildings, where the placement of these systems are a key consideration.

Our open web joists deliver outstanding acoustic performance without the need for any additional insulation, plasterboard or resilient bars. They also have strong fire resistant properties, as our flooring solutions are approved by the Structural Timber Association (STA) as an acceptable option to achieve a fire robust solution throughout the construction process.

 

Benefits of using Metal Web joists for your modern construction projects

01

Reduced Waste

Floor Joists are made to specific measurements which significantly reduces onsite waste and the need for any alterations to be made.

02

Reduced Costs

Longer spans can be achieved using open web joists in comparison to solid timber joists, which can eliminate the need for load bearing internal walls. This can reduce the overall cost of a building.

03

Less Construction Material

The open web system of our joists eliminates the need for notching or drilling for following tradesmen to install piping or wiring. The metal webbing feature of our joists means they require less construction material like timber, which will save costs for your construction project.

04

Suitable For All Types of Buildings

Our engineered metal web floor joists are versatile and can be used in a wide variety of construction projects, including block built and masonry. These joists can be used during the building of large residential buildings, offices, hotels and self-build homes.

05

Reduced Installation Time

Timber is a lightweight construction material, our joists can be delivered to site and craned into position which can significantly reduce the installation time.

06

Consistent Quality

Our open web floor joists are manufactured off-site in our factory, ensuring consistent quality and standards at all times.

Timber is a renewable resource that is harvested from managed forests. Here at KTF Housing, we source our timber from reliable resources like Sodra, who are a Swedish forest industry group, who focus strategically on innovation, with the aim of developing new and sustainable climate-smart products based on renewable raw materials from the forest.
