Why steel joists are the superior structural choice
Many projects are facing delays due to the extended lead times for wide-flange beams. It’s time to build better, span further, and avoid those delays with steel joists.
Keep your projects on schedule:
Substituting steel joists for wide-flange beams can dramatically shorten supply-chain delays. Even though they are engineered and fabricated to your project’s structural requirements, steel joists may offer significantly faster delivery schedules than beams.
Superior span capabilities:
While wide-flange beam spans max out early, joists can span up to an incredible 240 ft—creating wide-open, column-free spaces perfect for modern warehouses, data centers, and more.
More sustainable solution:
Steel floor joists are up to 20% to 35% lighter than beams, slashing steel tonnage, costs, and your project’s carbon footprint. Flush-frame joist connections deliver vibration performance equivalent to that of wide-flange beams.
Enhanced architectural flexibility:
Special profile joists are designed and engineered to support curved, sloped, and unique building profiles, offering complex rooflines and geometric aesthetics while maintaining strength, economy, and efficiency.
Streamlined MEP integration:
Open-web designs easily handle substantial loads while effortlessly routing fire protection, HVAC, and utilities, reducing floor-to-floor height requirements.
