Metal Web Posi- Joist- Mi TEK ®
Metal web joists Posi-joist® are the ultimate in practical choice for developers, offering the best value for money and bringing key benefits on site. Not only do they eliminate the problems that occur with conventional wooden joists, they also eliminate the need for drilling or notching-out during first fix by on-site trades – preserving the integrity of the product as well as saving build time.
Posi- Joists are less likely to bow, crown, twist, cup, check or split than a traditional solid floor joist. This structural integrity along with little or no shrinkage provided by Metal Web flooring help eliminate squeaky floors.
Heywood Timber Engineering use Mi Tek® Posi- Joist metal web solutions which offers an innovative design option and design flexibility. Posi-Joist® are parallel chord trusses using stress-graded timber chords, plated together with Mi TEK ® patented, precision-engineered metal webs. Posi-Joist® also offer unrivalled lightness, strength and greater clear span potential unequalled by alternative timber products.

Lighter than traditional solutions
Greater span ability than other timber products
Total design flexibility- the depth, length and width can all be adjusted to produce a vast number of different specifications
Minimal material waste
Reduce joinery savings for the project in terms of cost, time and health and safety

New building reguations changes to part L (conservation of fuel and power) are now in effect
The building industry is seeing an increasing need for MVHR (Mechanical Ventilation and Heat Recovery) systems to achieve the new interim changes to Part L building regulations.
