Overview
I-Joists are lightweight, straighter and more uniform in strength, stiffness and size than traditional lumber. They also offer wide flanges for greater stability.
Key Features
- Quick Installation Weighs less than traditional lumber.
- Cost-Efffectiveness Long lengths allow ceilings and floors to be designed with fewer pieces.
- Peace of Mind Less likely to split, shrink, twist, warp or bow.
- Designed to Perform Larger nailing area and increased stability.
- Sustainability Wood sourced through programs certified under the Sustainable Forestry Initiative®.
Product Specifications
- LP manufactures 8 different series of I-Joists to match every project's requirements
- Flange Material includes both Solid Sawn and LVL
- Standard Flange Widths (Joist Thickness): 2-1/2" and 3-1/2"
- Standard Depths: 9-1/2", 11-7/8", 14", and 16".
How It's Made
I-Joists feature an advanced design and tough build for superior performance:
- Combines laminated veneer lumber (LVL) or finger-jointed sawn wood flanges with a web of oriented strand board (OSB) to produce an I-shaped structural member.
- Both materials work together to resist deflection, bending stresses and shear.
- LVL and MSR lumber flanges up to 3-1/2˝ wide for greater stability.
