Floor Joists

SpaceJoist - The Open Web Floor Solution

A floor joist is a system of support that helps to keep floors level and sturdy. The floor joist creates an interconnecting network, providing the flooring with a level of strength that would be hard to accomplish otherwise. The network of the joist system also helps to absorb vibrations and reduce squeaking. Open web joists, both timber and metal, offer easy access for fitting mechanical and plumbing runs, which is a great advantage when erecting today’s complex buildings.

About Ochil Timber’s Floor Joists (SpaceJoist)

At Ochil we design, manufacture and supply SpaceJoist, an open metal-web joist for use in floors, floor cassettes and in ceilings. The joist can be designed “top hung” to eliminate the rim board, decreasing the risk of shrinkage and increasing airtightness. The open web construction allows for service runs without the need for drilling or notching, eliminating errors that incur costly remedial work. The consistent depth of these off-site manufactured joists allows for easier floor deck and ceiling installation. SpaceJoist achieves longer spans than traditional timber and also delivers exceptional acoustic performance. At Ochil we know that these benefits reduce the amount of time contractors spend on site, speeding up construction, and ultimately saving the client money.

SpaceJoist Floor Cassettes

SpaceJoist can be constructed off-site as a floor cassette which simplifies and speeds up construction on site, while providing a safe working platform for the erection of subsequent floors. In addition, SpaceJoist floor cassettes also deliver optimal performance in strength and acoustic values.

FloorTrus

We also manufacture timber web joists. These have all the key features and benefits of their metal web counterparts and more. The FloorTrus system is the pioneering system of this type in the UK and Ireland. FloorTrus can typically be made to any depth between 219mm and 600mm, with freedom in web configuration to allow for large services in any position. Robust in transit, and with exceptional resistance to dynamic loading, FloorTrus is unrivalled by any other timber engineered alternative. FloorTrus is also the ideal choice for the environmentally conscious, as they are available in home grown Scottish Timber on request and the off-cuts from roof truss production can be recycled for the webs. The system stands as a serious competitor to concrete floors.

Technical Specifications

FloorTrus is available in depths between 219mm to 600mm

SpaceJoist is available in depths 195mm; 209mm; 254mm; 304mm; and 424mm.

Testing has proved that the additional perimeter teeth in SpaceJoist metal webs provide improved joist stiffness and less deflection. New ‘burst through’ holes in the struts create a strong C-Section, improving compression strength in critical areas. Contact tabs transfer load from the metal webs to the timber chords to further increase web capacity.

SpaceJoist’s resistance to sound in non-separating floors exceeds minimum requirements for England, Scotland and Wales without the need for insulation, resilient bars or additional plasterboard.
