SpaceJoist
A popular Open Web Floor system, SpaceJoist will give your project the competitive edge with marked savings in both time and budget. SpaceJoist offers today’s builder an engineered floor system that combines the best features of an I-Joist with an open web construction to deliver a quality product for maximum job-site efficiency and overall cost effectiveness.
SpaceJoist is pre-fabricated from the highest quality, stress graded timbers joined together with galvanised steel web fasteners, supplied to HK2 Structural Timber by ITW Alpine – our system provider.
SpaceJoist has numerous features that simplify construction helping the project run smoothly and meet deadlines:
- Consistent width and depth of off-site pre-fabricated SpaceJoists provide easier, faster installation of floor materials on-site.
- Open-web construction allows for services to be run directly through the floor joists without the need for drilling, taking away costs incurred through labour time and more importantly doing away with the need for expensive remedial details.
- Reduced labour costs on site, due to the amount of pre-fabrications, the vast majority of time associated with a traditional floor construction is eliminated - releasing your site joiners for more complex areas of your project.
- The ability of SpaceJoist to cover large spans can eliminate the need for costly intermediate load-bearing walls.
- Bespoke design of each SpaceJoist to fit a particular project reduces the amount of site wastage and pilferage of timber joists.
- Various end conditions are available to the designer, including top-chord supported – allowing us to tailor the product to suit your exact needs.
- Due to the wide nailing surface (minimum 72mm) floor and ceiling applications become simpler and faster.
- The unique ‘Stronback’ bracing system eradicates the need for herringbone strutting – making a large reduction to the install time of the floor.
All these factors contribute to an overall reduction in cost meaning you will realise an increase in profit for your bottom line.
Our manufacturing process is state-of-the-art and combined with the expertise of our designers and craftsmen, we will always deliver a quality product and excellent service to our clients.
