• Easy handling – the lightweight Spacejoists can be moved on site without the need for crane hire
• Wide nailing surface – with a minimum chord width of 72mm, fixing floor and ceiling materials is quicker and easier
• Quality – being manufactured off site, the Spacejoist ensures consistency of quality and reliability
• Open Web design – fast and simple installation of services without the need for drilling or notching
