FloorTrus
To maintain a competitive edge you have to build it fast, build it to last and build it for less. That's why designers, specifiers, fabricators and builders' merchants are turning to FloorTrus for solutions to these demands and more.
When compared to traditional solid timber joist construction, the manufactured timber FloorTrus system is better, stronger, and can be installed faster.
FloorTrus is popular because of its ability to clear-span wide areas without the need for intermediate load bearing walls or post and beam requirements.
The custom designed FloorTrus system reduces the amount of "bounce" that may be found in conventional framed floor joist systems. This premium floor solution provides improvements in dynamic loading so it - "Feels like a much firmer floor."
Joist shrinkage and twisting which cause cracked ceilings and squeaky floors are a thing of the past. Precision controlled manufacturing techniques give you consistently even floors and ceilings.
Once the trusses are on the site, the builder can really start to see the benefits. The consistent size and height of the manufactured FloorTrus allows easier floor deck & ceiling installation, and the open web design allows for utilities to be run through the floor system without drilling or notching. These benefits will reduce the amount of time trade contractors spend on site, speed up construction, and ultimately save the builder money.
FloorTrus is the most robust open web floor system on the market. Use it once and no other floor system will ever feel the same again.

Build it for less - SpaceJoist's lightweight open web design provides on-site savings in labour.

The bespoke design of each SpaceJoist to fit a particular job reduces the site wastage and pilferage of timber joists. These factors among others translate into an increase in profit for your bottom line.
