I-Beams & STEICOjoist

Introducing the Steico range of I Joists:

A lightweight joist made from 2 solid timber flanges top and bottom, both machine stress graded and finger jointed to a high quality, with the web being made of high grade natural fibreboard.

All this amounts to high tensile strength and high shear capacity.

I Beams have revolutionised the way we build floors today. Using I Joists means an end to floors that squeak due to the natural tendency of traditional joists to twist and warp and resulting in costly call outs for snagging etc.

At Glosford we have chosen the Steico range for its extra strength properties, its consistent product dimensions and it’s competitiveness over rival I Joists alternatives.

We believe the Steico software to be superior too, with easy to follow output drawings clearly identifying all the components that make up the completed floor.

This is why if you're using I-Beam floors, our STEICO solutions:

  • Provide the right environmental solution with FSC certified products.
  • Are fully accredited by the BBA.
  • Result in optimum design solutions giving the greatest flexibility in room design.
  • Do not require additional strutting or permanent bracing.

Long length availability speed up installations and increase floor rigidity by reducing laps required over beams and supporting walls. A 240 deep joist will clear span over 5 metres in these situations.

Strong and very stiff products giving quiet squeak free floors with less likelihood for nail popping.

Easy routing of services through holes drilled in the web of the I-Beam.

Lightweight product – up to 50% lighter than traditional joists, making manual handling that much easier.

Comprehensive support – detailed installation guides and plot by plot layout drawings with every floor.

Short lead times of 2 weeks or less

The only joist with ETA – technical approval.
