Whether you are planning a new home construction, or about to replace the old floor joists in the existing home, there are quite a few benefits for you as a homeowner in using modern steel floor joists

Clear spans, open spaces

Modern steel floor joists offer very long clear spans. They can span up to 33 feet, allowing for the freedom of design for a new home, or for remodeling of an existing home.

Higher ceilings

Since modern steel floor joists don’t require girders and have openings for wires and piping, they eliminate the need for large bulkheads, reduce the floor depth and thus facilitate higher ceilings and a more pleasant (and valuable) living space environment.

Exceptional dimensional stability

The cold-rolled structural steel is a great material for a floor joist, indeed. It has a high weight-to-strength ratio. Structural Beam offers you steel joists of galvanized cold-formed steel, designed specifically for reliable, long-term structural stability, and manufactured by the largest manufacturers, at a very competitive price tag.

Fire, pest, and mold-proof

Our floor joists are steel framing members, impervious to major timber joist problems like wood rot, termites, mold growth. They are naturally fire-resistant and allow you to rip all the benefits of steel framing solutions that can be seamlessly integrated with wood, brick, and concrete masonry.

Forget about creaky floors

Yet another benefit the homeowner gets from using steel floor joists is the lasting comfort of quiet floors. Everyone had an experience of creaky old wood-framed floors. Not anymore, not with modern steel floor joists!

The floor will never get saggy or creaky, having steel floor joists installed by Structural Beam will be a huge money-saver solution down the line. Steel members are dimensionally stable over time.

Saving the nature

Modern steel floor joists are 90% made of recycled materials, they don’t require cutting down the trees, serve much longer, and don’t create as much landfill waste as the timber ones.

Cut to precise dimensions, they also help to reduce raw material waste and save your money. Truly, a great green choice for your home, and for nature.

Indeed, steel floor joists offer all the benefits of steel framing vs wood framing buildings, and responsible contractors like Structural Beam will offer you this option.
