I-Joist Beams
Precision-Engineered I-Joist Beams – Superior Strength, Straightness & Stability for Modern Construction
Barwon Timber’s I-Joist beams redefine structural efficiency for floors and roofs in residential and commercial builds. Engineered with a high-strength oriented strand board (OSB) web and precision-cut laminated veneer lumber (LVL) flanges, these joists deliver exceptional load-bearing capacity, minimal deflection, and unwavering straightness—outperforming traditional timber in span, stability, and consistency.
Benefits of Using I-Joist Beams
Exceptional Strength and Long Spans: Engineered to carry heavy loads over significantly longer distances than traditional solid timber, allowing for more open and flexible floor plans without intermediate support.
Superior Straightness and Consistency: Manufactured to precise tolerances, ensuring a level and uniform floor without the crowns, bows, or warping often found in natural timber joists.
Lightweight and Easy to Handle: Their design makes them considerably lighter than solid timber beams of equivalent strength, simplifying and speeding up the installation process on site.
Enhanced Sustainability: Utilises wood fibre efficiently by using less timber from fast-growing, renewable species for the web, making them an environmentally responsible choice.
I-Joists are also manufactured beams generally used for floor joists. They are perfect for engineers and builders who want to provide their customers with high-quality floor systems.
I-Joist beams are lightweight, strong and easy to install. These beams can be ordered and are a cost-effective solution for joists and rafters in both residential and commercial construction.
