Eco Joists
Eco joists, also known as open web joists, metal web joists or easi-joists, consist of parallel engineered timbers connected by V-shaped steel webs between, providing a lightweight structural component that spans greater distances than alternatives.
Our joists are constructed using TR26 grade timber, meaning they meet strict criteria for load-bearing capacities.
Our timber frame factory in Sussex offers lengths of up to 12m, with depths of 219mm, 254mm and 304mm, and widths from 72mm to 147mm. Our eco-joists are designed and supplied to customer specifications and we offer a quick 7 day turnaround from approved drawings!
