What is a metal web joist?

Metal web joists, also known as open web joists, are an innovative structural solution widely used in modern construction.

They offer a versatile alternative to traditional solid timber or engineered wood joists, combining the benefits of both timber and steel in their construction.

Metal web joists consist of a metal web system sandwiched between timber flanges, creating a lightweight, strong and dimensionally stable engineered floor or roof solution.

Where are metal web joists used?

A customised flooring solution, metal web joists are used in a wide variety of construction projects, ranging from residential to commercial and industrial buildings.

  • New build construction
  • Commercial buildings
  • Industrial buildings
  • Residential housing; social housing, private housing
  • Renovations and Extensions

What are the benefits of choosing a metal web joist flooring platform?

Design Flexibility: Metal web joists allow for greater design flexibility due to their lightweight construction and ability to span large distances.

Easy Installation: Metal web joists are prefabricated to precise specifications, making them quick and easy to install. The open web design provides ample space for routing services, such as plumbing, electrical wiring and HVAC ducts.

Improved Acoustic Performance: Metal web joists offer excellent acoustic properties, reducing sound transmission between floors. The metal web system effectively dampens vibrations and reduces the resonance.

Reduced Deflection and Shrinkage: Metal web joists are engineered to minimise deflection and shrinkage.

Sustainability and Resource Efficiency: The use of metal webs reduces the amount of timber required compared to solid timber joists.
