Looking for a reputable, reliable supplier of prefabricated Posi Strut Floor Trusses? We have you covered as a licensed MiTEK fabricator.
Posi Strut Floor Trusses are a manufactured to order floor joist that is designed for each individual build. Given this point, we will provide a design that gives the end user an economical and high quality floor structure which is easy to install. Secondly, we will look at the performance of each Posi Strut Joist; foremost these values significantly outweigh those of a conventional subfloor resulting in a more rigid floor system. It is important to note that the design features of Posi Struts can also give onsite labor cost savings. We continue to work closely with our builders to ensure end connection types are used to their full capability. For this reason we can achieve greater installation time labor savings.
As well as ease of installation advantages, the joists provide excellent access for plumbing, electrical services and air conditioning ducts in multi-storey build applications.
Have you ever walked across a timber subfloor and hear the crystal cabinet rattle? A key point and advantage of a posi floor system is the strongback bracing element. Subsequently when installed correctly this bracing element provides a more rigid floor system/joist resulting in much less floor bounce.
For this reason, these long term performance values are forefront of our designers minds when designing each posi strut floor system.
In addition to the above; we can also design Posi Struts as long span rafters or purlins to carry roof & ceiling loads. In either case the Posi rafter system of Floor Joist system will allow for any heating/cooling ducting to pass through.
