Posi-Joist
What is a 'Metal Web Joist'?
Metal Web Joists are parallel chord beams utilising TR26 grade kiln dried timber. The top and bottom flanges are connected with a precision engineered and manufactured galvanised metal web. The joist combines the lightness of timber with the structural qualities of the metal web, giving a structural component suitable for use in both domestic and industrial applications. They are available in a range of depths and widths to suit individual design requirements for both floors and roofs.

Benefits of metal web joists
