9-1/2 in. x 18 ft. 40 SERIES I-JOIST (2.5” SOLID SAWN FLANGE)

Advantages:
IB I-Joists are light in weight, easy to handle, strong and span long distances (up to 52 ft.), making them more labor and material cost efficient than solid lumber. Manufactured under climate controlled conditions, IB I-Joists are also:

• More uniform in strength, stiffer and straighter
• More durable and dimensionally stable
• Resistant to the splitting, warping, shrinking and twisting that can lead to squeaky floors
• Lighter in weight hence easier to handle

Quick and easy to install
IB I-Joists span longer distances (up to 52 ft.), making joist spacing wider, so fewer pieces need to be installed. Other convenient advantages:

• Wide flanges provide a larger surface area for gluing and nailing
• Traditional framing tools and fasteners facilitate and accelerate the installation process
• Openings can be strategically cut in the I-joist web to allow for wiring, ductwork and plumbing
