easi-joist sizes and prices

Posted by Richard

Today we have updated the easi-joist section of our website to combine most of the information onto just the main page, rather than having half a dozen, which should now make it easier to find the information you are looking for. To make room for all this information on just the one page we have introduced a new full width page template which has done away with the sidebar, which only contained our twitter feed anyway, so that's no great loss.

In the coming months Wolf System Ltd will be producing technical information regarding the use of easi-joist as a stud wall in timber frame construction, as soon as that is released I will add it to the easi-joist Walls section of the easi-joist page.

The one thing that everyone hopes to find is an easi-joist price list, unfortunately we are unable to produce one, that's because easi-joist is available in multiple lengths, widths, depths and internal web configurations, as well as with multiple end support conditions, so producing a list that is easy to read and understand is near impossible. It is for these reasons that we have put together an online easi-joist enquiry form, which will allow you to enter multiple joist lengths and quantities and once we have received it we will send you the quotation as soon as possible.

easi-joist Stud Details Coming Soon

easi-joist timber frame and trussed raftersFollowing the delivery of another easi-joist timber frame and trussed rafter package earlier this week, we have been working on a number of details that can be put up on the website to help illustrate how easi-joist works as a stud to form a timber frame.

By the way the package we delivered earlier this week was similar to the Boar's Den Barn project, in fact the delivery address was across the road. We hope to be able to upload some photos over the coming week or two.

Update:27/04/2011: We have put together a few information sheets that show various construction details for easi-joist stud walls, until the pdf copies are uploaded to the site for you to view and download I have put the images on the E & H Baxendale Ltd Flickr photostream some of which can also be viewed in the slideshow below

Wolf Systems will be exhibiting at this year’s Ecobuild featuring the company’s easi-joist metal-web product. Originally developed to facilitate the installation of services through the floor zone, Wolf Systems’ easi-joist is now to be found employed in place of solid timber studs in the walls to timber frame systems; as well as for both flat and pitched roofing construction.

Both specifiers and building contractors are making increasing use of the engineered timber joists offered by Wolf Systems’ manufacturers for a wide variety of applications throughout the building structure.

Wolf Systems at Ecobuild 2011Such are the spanning and load-bearing benefits of the highly engineered easi-joists – underpinned by the flexible Wolf design software – that they can be incorporated into a selection of situations at any angle between the horizontal and vertical. In turn, imposed live or dead loads are supported and optimum performance from minimum material usage is ensured. The easi-joist beam, stud or rafter member also allows the building designer to accommodate increased levels of insulation into the project with ease.

Karl Foster of Wolf Systems comments: “As a metal web beam, easi-joist not only provides ample open area within its overall depth for the routing of pipes, cables and even ductwork, but the installer is also provided with a wide flange area. This simplifies the fixing of sheet flooring panels or roof decking and sarking; with the finished assembly offering an extremely solid feel.”

Individual beams are now regularly assembled into panel or cassette modules, furthering the offsite potential of easi-joists, while offering a close fit with industry priorities for sustainable, defect-free approaches to construction.

Today we delivered our first easi-joist timber frame package, it consisted of two types of easi-joist wall joists and a package of loose timbers. I hope to visit the site in a few days when the structure is up to take a few pictures for the website.
