SpaceJoists
SpaceJoists are a structural flooring system manufactured using a combination of timber and steel to give a more stable, stronger and light weight alternative to standard timber joists. The open web feature of these joists allow for all services to pass through the joists without need for cutting or boring.
SpaceJoists come in a varying sizes from 195mm – 425mm in depth and from 75mm – 122mm in width depending on the design requirements and are manufactured on our new open web roller machine to varying lengths. All our SpaceJoists have European Technical Approval (ETA) and are CE marked to comply with the construction products regulation.
What are the benefits of SpaceJoist system?
Long Spans: Longer spans are achievable in comparison to solid timber. This may eliminate the need for intermediate load bearing internal walls, reducing a building’s overall cost.
Reduced Wastage: Manufactured to size eliminates site alterations saving time on site.
Design Flexibility: SpaceJoist can be designed top hung to eliminate the rim board in timber frame construction, improving air tightness and reducing thermal bridging.
Sound Performance: SpaceJoist delivers outstanding acoustic performance to comfortably pass English and Welsh regulations, even complying with the more stringent 43dB Scottish regulations without additional insulation, plasterboard or resilient bars.
Fire Performance: NEW SpaceJoist category C open web floor solution is approved by the Structural Timber Association (STA) in their product paper 4 as an acceptable option to achieve a fire robust solution during the construction process.
Easy to Handle: Now even lighter, the lightweight construction makes SpaceJoist easy to individually move on site without the need for crane hire. Alternatively, floor and roof sections (cassettes) can be delivered to site and craned into position to save build time.
Wide Nailing Surface: Fixing of floor and ceiling materials is simpler and quicker due to the minimum chord width of 72mm.
Highly Engineered: SpaceJoist are manufactured off-site ensuring consistent quality and reliability.
Open Web Design: Fast and simple installation of services, without the need for drilling or notching. Joists can accommodate large services such as mechanical heat recovery systems.
