In recent weeks we have had a number of requests for information about the combined easi-joist and attic room in the roof truss, so I have put together a brief information sheet, which shows one of our most recent easi-joist attic truss designs. The pdf can be downloaded from the ‘downloads‘ page and the ‘easi-joist roofing’ page as well as by clicking on the link below.
easi-joist attic information sheet
Today we supplied our first quotation for the new easi-joist attic truss system from Wolf Systems Ltd, we were recently approached to provide a quotation for an easi-joist attic roof for a large garage with dormers, we sent the job to Wolf Systems Ltd (they supply the design software, the nailplates and easi-joist webs) design office because currently only they can produce the design. It took about five days but the job landed back on our desks today, so after looking over the job we costed it up and then forwarded the quotation on to the customer, but the job isn’t over because we still have to complete the design for the hipped raised-tie trussed rafter roof over a swimming pool.
More information about the easi-joist attic system will be made available during the coming weeks, in the mean time you can find some information in a recent blog post called ‘Introducing easi-attics‘ or by visiting the easi-joist roofing page of our site.
easi-attic
Have you ever looked at an attic (room-in-the-roof) truss and wondered if there was an easier way of installing services, because remember you can’t cut, drill or notch trusses, well wonder no more, Wolf Systems (we are a Wolf Systems Ltd manufacturer) introduces the easi-attic, it is an attic truss with an easi-joist built into the ceiling tie.
This truss combines the advantage of having a ready made room in the roofspace with the advantages of the easi-joist which include the easier, more practical, installation of services including waste water pipes, electrical cabling, heating pipes and other services.
The only disadvantage to incorporating easi-joist into the ceiling tie of the attic truss is that the overall depth of the chord increases from a maximum of 222mm to around 354mm, the reason for this increase is because the top and bottom chords must be rotated to match the rest of the timbers used in the attic truss. To see a bigger picture of the easi-attic visit the easi-joist roofing page.
Currently only the Wolf Systems Ltd design office can design the easi-attic, manufacturers will only get that feature added to our design software when there is enough interest in the product, so if you think the easi-attic is a good idea or if you are interested in using them in your next project why not get in touch.
Kensington Developments at Lytham Quays have ordered another attic garage for their Villa development bringing the total of garages they have ordered to four.

Today we delivered a further two easi-joist floor packages, 126 easi-joists per Villa, to Kensington Development’s Lytham Quays Villa’s development, bringing the total so far to eight out of sixteen Villas. Also part of the delivery were two attic roof’s which are for the garages for the first two villa’s which were delivered back in October.
A new feature on this website is the ability to view interactive 3D PDF’s, you can open the PDF of the easi-joist floors used on the Villa’s by clicking on the image.
