Posi Joist Metal Webbed Floor Joists.

Why choose Posi-joist’s over other joist and rafter systems.

Whilst an initial linear metre cost comparison with solid joist alternatives may suggest otherwise, Posi-Joist’s ability to span greater distances than its timber competitors, coupled with its open web design gives the contractor several important cost saving advantages.

The span capabilities mean that Posi-Joist can often allow for increased joist centres when compared to alternative systems, reducing material content.

The installation of services and utilities is far simpler and quicker with Posi-Joists, reducing both labour costs and build-up time on site.

The depth, length and width can all be adjusted to produce an enormous number of different specifications, each with clearly defined performance criteria. In addition, end details of the Posi-Joist can be altered to give a variety of support conditions.
