Wood I-joist floor framing

I-joists have structural wood top and bottom flanges and OSB or plywood webs. A commercial series is available for use in floor and roof systems. Laminated Veneer Lumber (LVL) can be used as beams, headers, joists, and rims in commercial applications.

I-joists are typically used as secondary framing members in floor and roof systems. They make efficient use of raw materials and allow greater versatility in building design.
