DWB Ecojoist Systems
Ecojoists are the engineered flooring solution licensed by Gang-Nail
Systems. They consist of parallel stress graded timbers joined together
using engineered V shaped steel webs. The webs are connected to the
timbers via nail plated zones top and bottom.
The Ecojoist system has proved highly popular with both self-builders and national house builders. Some of the advantages are:
- Site fixing time and costs reduced by around 50%
- Reduced fixing costs by Plumbers and Electricians
- Extra savings by eliminating the need to notch or drill joists
- Soil pipes fit through joist webs, eliminating the cost of boxing in pipes
- Compared with I-beam systems, Ecojoist depths are same as traditional timber joists saving both drawing changes and an additional course of bricks
- Virtually eliminates shrinkage - reduces call back costs
- Easily designed to sit in the web of a steel
- Can be top chord supported
- Inexpensive comprehensive technical manual available
