easi-joist® Parallel Chord Trusses
Stevenson and Kelly Ltd are approved suppliers for easi-joist®, a system of parallel stress graded timber chords, plated together using a precision engineered metal web combined to form the easi-joist.
easi-joist is a versatile product offering the lightness of timber with the structural benefits of metal. Combined, these materials offer a joist with spans exceeding traditional timber joists with better damping and stiffness than other timber alternatives, ideal for domestic, industrial and commercial floor applications.
easi-joist floor system is precision designed to make floor joist manufacture faster, easier to instal and cost effective.
easi-joist timber is kiln dried, stress graded, and complies with current European and British Standards.
Joist timbers can be treated with waterborne solutions, or with noncorrosive organic spirit-based solvents.
easi-joist®
Easi-joist allows the routing of services and ducting through the open space constuction. This is often impossible to achive using traditional timber joists without compromising the structural integrity of the joist.
The curved edge construction of the web plate ensures no damage to pipes and cables when routing through joists.
Internal routing of services simplifies installation.
easi-joist® open web construction allowes simple installation of piping, cables and ductwork reducing time and labour costs.
easi-joist®, the strongest and lightest metal web system available, with greater clear span ability.
easi-joists® has excellent span and load bearing capacity and can be positioned at all angles from 0 and 90 degrees, in a number of applications and situations.
Easy insulation installation between and within the joists.
Insulation can be installed within the full cavity section of the joist. Combined with the high natural thermal characteristics of timber this provides exellent improvement over traditional construction solutions.
Greater clear spans eliminate need for steel beams or supporting timbers, which makes easi-joist® very easy to install.
The end result is flexible, column-free internal space and reduced installation costs.
Features
- Factory manufactured, made to measure.

- Improved floor performance.
- Stiffness and strength built into the floors improving floor rigidity.
The Benefits of easi-joist®
Open Web Design
This allows for easier, more practical, installation of services including waste water pipes, electrical cabling, heating pipes and other services. Also, no hole locating or drilling limits any possibility of incorrect workmanship and reduced labour costs.
Light Weight
The combination of smaller timber sections with the
lightweight metal web means that the finished product is lighter than timber and much lighter than timber equivalents.
Handling and Installation
Large bearing surface allows a speedy set out of joists, improves joist stability when laying out joists and enables easier fixing of decking materials.
Reduced Site Wastage
The precision-manufactured easi-joist virtually eliminates all site alterations, and standard timber sizes ensure materials are readily available.
Long-term Stability
The reduced sections used in the manufacture of the easi-joist®, combined with the metal web mean that there is less loss of moisture and shrinkage, thus providing a quieter and longer
lasting floor system.
Improved Sound Performance
& Reduced Vibration
The metal web floor system allows for the installation of a rigid Strongback that reduces vibration and improves the overall acoustic performance of the floor.
