 POSI-JOIST
The advantages of the Posi-Joist system simply cannot be ignored,
because Posi-Joist combines the lightness of timber with the strength
of the Posi-Strut steel web, you can span far greater distances than
would be possible with alternative timber products. This gives you
unequalled design freedom across a wide range of applications for
both floor and roof in domestic, industrial and commercial applications.
The Posi-joist allows a variety of internal room layouts within an
external shell due to its clear spanning capabilities.
- FLOORS - Exceptional floor performance from a
minimum 72mm wide fixing surface makes flooring easy, controls shrinkage
and with precision engineering it all reduces those tiresome return
visits.
- ROOFS - The Posi-Joist can also be utilised for
spanning flat roofs. Its span capability and timber flanges make
it the more desirable alternative to all steel systems.
- ECONOMY - The Posi-Joist ability to span greater
distances than its timber competitors and the fact that they are
fully competitive with steel and concrete beams, makes it immediately
obvious that they offer considerable savings in raw materials. The
open web design gives the contractor another important advantage,
it makes installation of service and utilities far simpler and quicker,
reducing both labour costs and build-up time on site. What's more,
subject to span, they may eliminate the need for load-bearing intermediate
walls, which could dramatically cut overall building costs.
- FLEXIBILITY IN USE - Design flexibility is inherent
in the concept of the Posi-Joist. The depth, length and specification
can be adjusted to produce an enormous number of different specifications,
each with clearly defined performance criteria. In addition, end
details of the beam can be altered to give a variety of support
conditions. By using the Posi-Joist trimmable end, each end can
be engineered with a 130mm trimmable solid block, allowing bearing
location discrepancies to be remedied with simple on-site trimming.
- EFFICIENCY - The benefit of the unique open web
design, provides an area in which plumbers and electricians will
find it easy and convenient to work. The job is done far more quickly
and the contractor makes worthwhile savings. Even on long spans,
no herring bone strutting is necessary with the Posi-Joist system.
If the span exceeds 4m, a strong-back brace is installed for stability.
