Posi-joist
The Alternative Joist System
You simply can't afford to ignore the advantages of the Posi-Joist system.
To start with, because Posi-Joist combines the lightness of timber with the strength of the Posi-Strut steel web, you can span far greater distances than would be possible with alternative timber products.
This gives you unequalled design freedom across a wide range of applications for both floor and roof in domestic, industrial and commercial applications.
The Posi-Joist allows a variety of internal room layouts within an external shell due to its clear spanning capabilities.
Exceptional floor performance from a minimum 72mm wide fixing surface makes flooring easy, controls shrinkage, and with precision engineering it all reduces those tiresome return visits and remedial work.
More benefits such as the unique open web design provide an area in which Plumbers and Electricians will find it easy and convenient to work. The job's done far more quickly and the contractor makes worthwhile savings.
Even on long spans, no herring-bone strutting is necessary with the Posi-Joist system. If the span exceeds 4m, a strong-back is installed at mid-span.
The Posi-Joist does not just joist floors it can adequately span for flat and pitched roofs. Its span capability and timber flanges make it the more desirable alternative to all steel systems.
The Clear Advantages of Posi-Joist™
The Posi-Joist has the ability to span greater distances than its timber competitors and the fact that they are fully competitive with steel and concrete beams makes it immediately obvious they offer considerable savings in raw materials. What's more, since they eliminate the need for load-bearing intermediate walls they dramatically cut overall building costs. Quite simply, there's no more efficient or economical way to construct floors and roofs.
The open web design, gives the contractor another important advantage: it makes installation of services and utilities far simpler and quicker, reducing both labour costs and build-up time on site.
Design flexibility is inherent in the concept of the Posi-Joist. The depth, length and specification can be adjusted to produce an enormous number of different specifications, each with clearly defined performance criteria. In addition, end details of the beam can be altered to give a variety of support conditions.
You will never come up short with the Posi-Joist "Trimmable End".
Posi-Joist's "Trimmable End" provides field cutting flexibility!
Each end can be engineered with a 150mm trimmable solid block, allowing bearing location discrepancies to be remedied with simple on-site training.
In Summary:
- Greater clear spans for design flexibility
- A fixing surface that provides a truly quiet floor
- Clear profit with savings in labour, time and materials
- Open web design for easy installation of services
- Light, strong and easy to install
- Trimmable ends to add span flexibility
