REINFORCERtechnologies
Metwood Joist Reinforcers are engineered light gauge steel add-ons, that give greater flexibility in the routing and installation of utilities when using Engineered I-Joists, 2 x 8's, 2 x 10's, or 2 x 12's. The Metwood Floor Joist Reinforcers allow for the installation of large diameter holes in floor joists for the passage of utilities. This allows utilities to be recessed and concealed in the floor system, keeping a finished flush line to attach ceiling materials for finished floors or space below the floor.
Metwood Joist Reinforcers restore the strength of the Floor Joist lost by placement of large holes or cut-outs. Simplifies Construction by allowing utilities to be placed through the floor system, eliminiating the requirements for bulkheads, chases, lower ceiling heights, and the need for special engineering on the floor framing system are eliminated. Easy Installation - Metwood Joist Reinforcers are simply glued and/or screwed to the side of the Floor Joist (Screws included).
