Wood-frame I-Joists by Nascor (The Strong Quiet Type)

An engineered floor system built from I-joists offers several advantages:

Cost saving

A floor system built with I-joists weights substantially less than a concrete floor and thus requires a less expensive foundation. A floor constructed from I-joists costs approximately 30% less in labour and materials expenses than a conventional concrete floor.

Ease of installation

I-joists for a typical 2-story, 200 m2 home can be installed in less than two days and do not involve wet processes or require cranes. In addition, ABT offers a trouble free installation guide and can coordinate installation services or training.

Ease of installation of electrical, heating and plumbing systems

Installing electrical, heating and plumbing systems is a relatively easy task vs working with an impermeable concrete floor system.

Superior performance

Nascor I-joists are manufactured in a quality controlled environment to precise tolerances and will not shrink, warp or twist, thus eliminating performance problems associated with conventional wooden floor systems of the past.

Nascor I-joists from ABT are manufactured using high quality lumber and OSB and are available in three different configurations with heights of up to 45 cm and lengths of up to 7 meters. All Nascor I-joists from ABT are produced to meet Nascor’s stringent quality control standards.
