I-Joists

Name: Hout - Bois van Steenberge
Price range: $

I-Joists combine the strength of laminated veneer lumber (LVL-P) with the stability of bonded structural moisture-resistant particleboard (P5). Thanks to their high load-bearing capacity and low weight, they are the ideal solution for fast and efficient timber frame construction. CE-marked and FSC®-certified, available in a wide range of sizes up to 18 metres. Perfect for floors and roofs with large spans.

Available dimensions and thickness
- Flange width: 45 – 60 – 90 mm
- Overall height: 200 – 240 – 300 – 360 – 400 – 450 mm
- Web thickness (particleboard): 8 – 10 mm
- Length: maximum 18 m
Qualities
There are many advantages to this type of beam:
- Standard lengths available up to 13,500 mm
- Lightweight, easy to handle and install
- Consistent shape and siez
- Lighter, stronger and straighter than sawn timber
- Effectively prevents cold bridging
- Efficient and sustainable use of wood resources
- LVL flanges can be produced in various sizes for different applications
- The P5 particleboard web are tolerant of holes and notching
The I-Joist is an engineered timber beam with an I-shaped cross-section, consisting of LVL flanges and a bonded structural particleboard web. This composition combines high load-bearing capacity with low weight, making it ideal for use in floors, roofs and walls in timber frame construction and other structural applications.
The I-Joist is dimensionally stable, lightweight and energy-efficient, offering a sustainable alternative to traditional solid timber beams.
Applications
- Floor structures: Load-bearing joists for large spans
- Roof structures: Rafters and purlins in pitched roofs
- Wall structures: Horizontal or vertical elements in timber frame construction
- Renovation projects: Lightweight solution for structural reinforcement
