There are a number of types of floor joists and
flooring options available from MCM Frame & Truss. Here are
some of the following.
Solid
Joists

For Hardwood bearers and Joist construction at ground level the
combination of hardwood bearers and radiata joists is also quite
common.
Hybeam
Floor Joists
|
Hybeam® HJ series floor joists are lighter than Oregon and
other timber joists including floor trusses. In fact, Hybeam is
up to 60% lighter than Oregon (span for span) which makes it easier
to lift and handle. The Hybeam® HJ series design provides
consistent load bearing capacity and yet allows for the cutting
of large web holes at defined locations providing easy installation
of plumbing and ventilation ducts within the floor cavity and
avoiding the need for expensive dropped ceilings and bulkheads.
Available in lengths up to13.2 meters and in a range of sizes.
Easier installation of plumbing and electrical services within
the floor depth. Other cost saving features made possible by the
straightness and uniformity of Hybeam® include, no intermediate
blocking and no planning or packing in order to achieve a level
floor. Hybeam HJ series are readily and conveniently available
off-the-shelf in lengths up to 13.2 meters - just dock to length
(anywhere) and nail into place. HJ series floor joists are light,
consistent and convenient. Their use will reduce construction
costs and ensure quiet and reliable performance.
