A long-lasting floor system that prevents warps, crowns, or shrinkage.

Quality Construction Utilizing I-Joists

When it comes to constructing reliable, high-performance buildings, choosing the right materials is essential. At Truline Truss, we pride ourselves on using top-notch engineered wood products to ensure that every project meets the highest standards. One of our go-to choices for superior construction is the TJI I-Joist. Here’s why.

What Are I-Joists?

I Joists are a key component in modern engineered flooring systems and roof framing. They consist of top and bottom flange materials, made from laminated veneer lumber (LVL) or structural composite lumber, connected by a web usually made of oriented strand board (OSB). This combination of building materials makes them incredibly strong yet lightweight and cost effective. They are ideal for a variety of applications, including floor joists and ceiling joists.

Benefits of Building with I-Joists

Superior Strength and Stability

I Joists are known for their ability to handle long spans without flexing, reducing the need for load-bearing walls. This makes them perfect for open floor plans and large rooms. The floor joist span table provided by the manufacturer offers clear guidelines on what is required for different spans, ensuring structural integrity that will meet and exceed your building codes.

Consistency Over Dimensional Lumber

Unlike traditional dimensional lumber, they are manufactured to be uniform in size and shape. This eliminates issues like warping or twisting, providing a more stable foundation for flooring systems. The precision manufacturing also means fewer callbacks for issues related to joist installation.

Efficient Use of Materials

Building with engineered wood products is an efficient and sustainable choice. Because they are crafted primarily from this fast-growing, renewable resource, the environmental impact is reduced compared with other building solutions.

Versatility in Design

These joists can be used in various applications, from floor and roof framing to complex structural systems. The top and bottom flanges provide excellent support, while the web enhances the overall stability, making them suitable for both residential and commercial projects.
