Metal Web Joists
With a comprehensive range of depths, starting at 195mm and running through to 424mm, Metal Web Joists offer solutions that serve as alternatives to solid timber joists and I-joists. Perfect for residential and commercial applications, Flightwise Joinery is proud to recommend them as a construction option.
Metal Web Joists have European Technical Approval (ETA). All ITW CP licensed fabricators CE mark their joists to legally comply with the construction products regulation.
This includes an external quality assurance system and clear labelling of every joist and rafter. They typically achieve greater maximum spans with fewer double webs and timber.
Extra teeth improve the stiffness and strength of the joist, which also reduces deflection.
Burst-through holes increase web strength in compression.
Contact tabs aid load transfer from webs to timber chords, increasing web capacity.
Long Spans
Longer spans are achievable in comparison to solid timber. This may eliminate the need for intermediate load bearing internal walls, reducing a building’s overall cost.
Reduced Wastage
Manufactured to size eliminates site alterations saving time on site.
Design Flexibility
SpaceJoist can be designed top hung to eliminate the rim board in timber frame construction, improving air tightness and reducing thermal bridging.
Less Timber and Fewer Webs
Tests show that the NEW SpaceJoist system requires less construction material, saving cost.
Sound Performance
SpaceJoist delivers outstanding acoustic performance to comfortably pass English and Welsh regulations, even complying with the more stringent 43dB Scottish regulations without additional insulation, plasterboard or resilient bars.
Fire Performance
NEW SpaceJoist category C open web floor solution is approved by the Structural Timber Association (STA) in their product paper 4 as an acceptable option to achieve a fire robust solution during the construction process.
Easy to Handle
Now even lighter, the lightweight construction makes SpaceJoist easy to individually move on site without the need for crane hire. Alternatively, floor and roof sections (cassettes) can be delivered to site and craned into position to save build time.
Wide Nailing Surface
Fixing of floor and ceiling materials is simpler and quicker due to the minimum chord width of 72mm.
Highly Engineered
SpaceJoist are manufactured off-site ensuring consistent quality and reliability.
Open Web Design
Fast and simple installation of services, without the need for drilling or notching. Joists can accommodate large services such as mechanical heat recovery systems.
Home Grown Timber
SpaceJoist can be manufactured in home grown timber, reducing carbon footprint.
Attic Bottom Chords
SpaceJoist can be incorporated into attic truss bottom chords to achieve greater spans, deeper insulation and provide a service void.

You are a great little company and similar organisations could learn a big lesson from the way you do things.
It was such a pleasure dealing with your company
I asked if it could be delivered in a couple of weeks and immediately I was given a date which was adhered to (a rarity these days)
The stairs obviously fitted perfectly and exceeded our expectations with regards to quality and finish especially considering they were so reasonably priced.
Thank you so much for what can only be described as a first class service from start to finish.
