Metal Web Joists
Metal web joists are an innovative timber engineered solution used to support a floor spanning over an open area, commonly forming the upper-storey of a residential building.
We manufacture our posi-joist metal web joist system using stress graded timber which is plated together with precision engineered metal webs. We use the latest design technology by Mitek Pamir to design and manufacture a complete floor system for your specification.
