Buildability - How Complex Is Installation? What Skill Level Is Required?
JJI-Joists can be installed and cut using a number of standard tools, fixings and metalwork connectors on-site. Once installed, if the structure will not be weather tight for a prolonged period of time, the JJI-Joists should be protected from the weather to avoid excessive changes in moisture content, and associated dimensional changes
Types, Textures, Specifications And Colours Currently Available
Joists come in a wide range of sizes. Flanges range from 47mm - 97mm and depth ranges from 195mm - 450mm
