Joist connectors for wooden joists
The primary function of joists is to distribute the weight of the structure and any applied loads evenly across the supporting walls or beams. This helps to prevent excessive deflection or sagging, ensuring the integrity and safety of the building.
THE IMPORTANCE OF JOISTS AND JOIST CONNECTORS IN MODERN CONSTRUCTION
In addition to their load-bearing capabilities, joists also contribute to the overall acoustic and thermal performance of the building. By incorporating insulation materials within the joist cavities, they can help reduce noise transmission between floors and improve energy efficiency.
WOODEN JOISTS: TRADITIONAL AND VERSATILE
Wooden joists have been used in construction for centuries and continue to be a popular choice due to their versatility and cost-effectiveness. They are typically made from solid timber or engineered wood products such as glulam or LVL (laminated veneer lumber).
CHARACTERISTICS OF WOODEN JOISTS
-
Long span distances
One of the main advantages of wooden joists is their ability to span long distances without the need for intermediate supports. This makes them ideal for creating open floor plans and large, uninterrupted spaces.
-
Exceptional thermal insulation properties
Wooden joists also have excellent thermal insulation properties, helping to regulate indoor temperatures and reduce energy consumption.
