Steel Floor Trusses & Residential Joists High-Strength Support

Ever calculated how much your sagging wood floors actually cost you? 78% of homeowners report premature floor failures within 10 years of installation. Now imagine zero deflection, zero rot, and 40% faster installation - that's the reality steel floor trusses
bring to residential construction.

Why Steel Floor Trusses Outperform Traditional Wood Joists

While wood joists warp under 40psi loads, our steel floor trusses laugh at 250psi. You get 2.5x load capacity with 30% less material. Our hot-rolled steel plates come galvanized (G90 coating) as standard - no more mold inspections or termite treatments.

FAQS on steel floor trusses

Q: What are the advantages of using steel floor trusses over traditional wood joists in residential construction?

A: Steel floor trusses offer greater strength, longer spans without intermediate supports, and resistance to rot, pests, and warping. They are also lightweight and customizable for complex designs.

Q: Can steel floor joists be used for residential home renovations?

A: Yes, steel floor joists are ideal for renovations due to their slim profile, which maximizes ceiling height, and their ability to reinforce existing structures without compromising space.

Q: How do steel floor plates complement steel floor trusses in a building project?

A: Steel floor plates provide a durable, load-bearing surface that integrates with trusses or joists, enhancing structural stability. They are often used in industrial settings or for heavy-duty flooring.

Q: Are steel floor trusses fire-resistant compared to other materials?

A: Steel floor trusses are non-combustible and meet stringent fire safety standards. However, they may require additional coatings to maintain structural integrity under extreme heat.

Q: What factors determine the cost of installing steel floor joists in a residential project?

A: Costs depend on design complexity, span requirements, and labor. While initial expenses may exceed wood, long-term savings from durability and low maintenance often justify the investment.
