Delivery Schedule Update

Delivery Calendar

Our delivery/collection schedule operates on a week commencing basis, if you were to place an order today the following dates are the earliest your order would be available for delivery/collection.

Trussed rafter orders for delivery/collection on week commencing Monday 6th February and easi-joist orders for delivery/collection on week commencing Monday 6th February.

As always terms and conditions apply, the main one being that you have confirmed the sizes are correct (you can do this by using our online form here) and that your payment has cleared before an order can be manufactured and delivered. Payment can be made by one of the following methods:

  • Debit card (No surcharges) in person or over the phone (Delivery usually around 5 working days)
  • Mastercard Personal - Credit card (surcharge of up to 2.09% applies) in person or over the phone (Delivery usually around 5 working days)
  • Visa Personal - Credit card (surcharge of up to 2.09% applies) in person or over the phone (Delivery usually around 5 working days)
  • Mastercard/Visa Business - Credit card (surcharge of up to 2.09% applies) in person or over the phone (Delivery usually around 5 working days)
  • Cash in person (Delivery usually around 5 working days)
  • Cheque through the post or in person (Can take 5 working days to clear so delivery is usually around 10 working days)
  • Bank transfer (Can take 3 working days to clear so delivery is usually around 5 working days)

The reason we apply a surcharge to credit card transactions is to cover the cost of the commission charges that we have to pay to our credit card terminal provider for those payments made by credit card. For example if a trussed rafter roof package costs £5000.00 and the commision charge is 2.09% we would have to pay the terminal company £104.50, for that one job it may not sound like a lot but when we are supplying hundreds of roof & floor packages that total soon adds up. It is for that reason that we recommend using other payment methods for which Customers are not charged for making payment by such as bank transfer, cheque or debit card.

easi-joist sizes and prices

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 span table updated

Yesterday I updated the easi-joist span table on the easi-joist Sizes page by adding the maximum spans for 195mm deep WS200 easi-joist when designed using standard Domestic & Partition loads, today I have added the maximum spans for easi-joist when designed using Robust Detail E-FT-3 loads. Over the coming months I hope to expand the span table even further to include Office loads, Storage loads, and possibly some flat roof loads.

Updated 05/04/11:-
I have now added the maximum spans for easi-joist when designed using Office loadings.

Updated 15/04/11:-
I have now added the maximum spans for easi-joist when designed for use as a Flat roof.

Building the Villa’s the easi-way

Yesterday we completed manufacturing the easi-joist floor for the 9th Villa at Kensington Developments Lytham Quays development, each floor package contains a total of 126 joists ranging in span from around 1.5m to 6m giving a total of 601.1m of joists.

To date we have manufactured a total of 5409.9m of easi-joist for the Lytham Quays site or to put it another way we have manufactured enough easi-joist to cover just over 3 miles if laid end to end.

If you would like to find out more about the Villa Collection at Lytham Quays or view an interactive 3D model (PDF) of the floor or find out more about easi-joist why not visit our main website.
