Floor systems
Our webbed steel floor systems have many applications: Ground floors, verandahs, upper floors, roof decks, balconies, cantilevers, commercial platforms.....just to name a few.

All go together with light-weight strength and efficiency. Floor bearers and joists are perfectly true, don't need trimming or planing to achieve a true and flat surface and also allow the passage of pipes and other services. Because of the width of our joist members, we don't need blocking which is a normal time-consuming requirement for narrower beams or timber.

Where the joists are exposed under a balcony for example, we can plate and paint them to match the building finishes.

Refer to span tables at the top of this site or talk to us about your floor application.
