Ecojoist is a flooring system, consisting of parallel stress graded timbers joined together with engineered ‘V’-shaped steel webs.
Up to 40% lighter and made to measure, reducing site wastage, the open web design eliminates the need to match or drill for pipes and cables. The system is already proven to save on labour costs of follow on trades as well as the following benefits:
Site fixing times reduced by approximately 50%
Plumbers and electricians fixing times reduced by up to 60%
Fully compatible with traditional timber joists
Can be designed to sit in web of steel, unlike ‘I-beam’ floor systems
Ecojoists span further than timber joists
No need to notch or drill for pipes and cables
40% lighter than equivalent solid timber
Can be top chord supported
Uses strongback bridging to share loads between joists
