Drawing on over 20 years of experience within the timber engineering industry, Shire Timber Group supplies high quality engineered I-joists and metal-web joists throughout the North of England, as well as premium flooring grade chipboard to complete the floor.
High Quality Engineered Joists
A Complete Range of I-joists, Metal-web Joists and More
We serve joist customers across the North of England. At Shire Timber Group we specialise in two kinds of engineered joists:
- I-joists – Engineered I-joists are strong and are less likely to less likely to bow, twist or split when compared to traditional joists. As an engineered product it suffers virtually no shrinkage which results in a stable and squeak free floor.
- Metal-web joists – Engineered metal web joists are simple to fit and install. While initially more expensive they can offer overall savings to your project due to the ease of which services (pipework, electrical cabling) can be run between the gaps in the webs.
The Benefits of Choosing I-joists and Metal-web Joists
- Lighter and more stable than conventional timber joists and with greater load-bearing capabilities
- Predictable and consistent as they have less imperfections such as cracks, splinters and knots
- They provide greater flexibility with building installations
- Easy and quick to install because they’re light
- Versatile and customisable so they fit a wide range of bespoke building projects
