Thomas Armstrong (Timber) Ltd are a licensed MiTek Manufacturer to design, manufacture and supply Posi-Joist™. Our Metal Web Joists are all bespoke to our client’s specification and to ensure they meet all current codes and standards. They are ideal for timber frame structures, traditional build, complex and ambitious self-build projects and large apartment blocks or hotels.
All buildings are unique, so our dedicated teams have the in-depth experience and knowledge to design, manufacture and supply metal web joists to your specific requirements using the very latest in design and engineering software.
Our Metal Web Joists have an ‘open-web’ design which is achieved through the lightweight qualities of the parallel timber flanges (or chords) joined with the strength of the engineered V-shaped steel webs. A key advantage of our ‘open-web’ design provides clear and fast access for the installation of services such as plumbing, electrical, pipework, cabling and other services which prevents the requirement of notching or drilling. This saves time on site due to the easy access and convenience to work.
This innovative floor joist system is lightweight yet high strength so larger lengths up to 12 metres can be achieved, giving more design flexibility and freedom than solid joists or timber products. They also minimises squeaky floors, sound and vibrations.
This system has the capability to be suitable for use on flat, pitched roofs and are known as Posi Rafters.
Along with our exceptional customer service, the quality of our engineered roof products is important to us, with our metal web joists being manufactured to the highest quality using timber responsibly sourced under the Programme for the Endorsement of Forest Certification (PEFC) scheme. We have always continued to meet the latest developments within the industry, so all our trusses are manufactured to BS EN 1995-1-1 (Eurocode 5) and EN 14250 and under ISO 9001.
