Up to 12m

Other sizes available on request

Does not require ancillary products such as backer, filler, squash blocks, or ply gusset plates Service voids can be pre-machined in the product to allow the quick and trouble free installation of cables, pipes, SVPs and HVAC systems Mid-span blocking/strutting can be omitted Reduces the range and number of connectors Faster build times Brings major productivity gains to its partners manufacturing operations: Easy to nail Minimum waste All components identified Minimum number of connectors Castellations ensure positive and quick location No mid-span blocking

The IWS-Joist is a unique variant of the original Engineered Wood Product, solid timber. It possesses very reliable strength and stiffness characteristics and is the only engineered joist on the market today pre-treated to provide robust fire protection and prevent against insect attack, wood decay and water ingress. This allows it to retain its strength and straightness characteristics both during and after the build process. The IWS-Intermediate Floor delivers superior acoustic performance, complying with Scottish, English and Welsh sound regulations on minimum specification floors without requiring insulation, sub-decks or additional layers of plasterboard. The system is much more than the product itself. We have listened to the concerns of the building industry and have tried to improve our construction details to assist in the delivery of higher quality floor performance in this ever more demanding environment. Delivering practical and innovative building solutions

IWS-FAST Timber Floor IWS have developed the 1st practical timber engineered separating floor for masonry construction, the FAST Timber Floor. The combination of a practical separating floor with masonry flank and separating walls can bring many further benefits.

Benefits include: 1. Robust masonry walls providing excellent structural and thermal performance, together with the speed, economy and efficiency of the FAST Timber Floor 2. The FAST Timber Floor is particularly suited to quick build masonry systems such as H+Hs R Build system, utilising Thin Layer masonry as a practical alternative to framed build systems 3. The use of a timber separating floor could significantly reduce costs in foundation due to reduced loading, when compared to alternative separating floor materials 4. The addition of Knauf insulation to the inner leaf of blockwork will reduce the need for other insulation materials 5. Icopals Monarfloor Wall Cap isolates the masonry wall from the separating floor joists, reducing the acoustic flanking sound transmission within the structure 6. The acoustic floor is mechanically fixed, thus reducing the issues of building directly off it For further information download a copy of IWS-FAST Timber Floor guide.

FLOOR PERFORMANCE

11
01592 630774

Floor performance is a subjective issue and can be influenced by many factors. It is extremely difficult to predict how a floor may feel. The perception of the end user can vary depending on the individual. Minimum standards are covered by design codes or NHBC requirements but may not give the expected performance. The most important factor influencing floor performance is stiffness, improving this decreases deflection, bounce and vibration. Below are 4 suggestions that may help improve the performance of your floor. Bonding the decking to the joists with appropriate adhesives Thicker decking and/or reducing centres of joists Deeper and/or wider joists Continuous/multiple span joists At IWS we can design your floors to individuals needs/expectations. = = = = Improved composite action of joist and deck Improved load sharing Improved joist stiffness Reduced deflection, improved stiffness

Joist Properties

Side Loaded

Capacity tables for multiple member connections are derived by calculating the shear capacity of the fixings at the interfaces and then by multiplying these by 2 (2 ply members) or 3/2 (3 ply members) to obtain the maximum side load capacity on the assumption that the side load is applied on one side at a time and that plies are designed to carry equal loads. Design of the IWSJoist members to ensure that they can carry the loads is not covered by the tables.

Airtightness

AIRTIGHTNESS
To ensure compliance with Approved Document L1A (2006) at junctions of masonry walls there are 3 options: 1. 2. 3. Use a proprietary end detail Mastic around the joist (where I-Joist floor, fill voids of I-Joist with packers prior to mastic) Support joists on hangers

IWS-Joists Built In IWS-Joists are treated as standard, the exclusive treatment minimises water ingress and protects against insect attack and wood decay. This allows it to retain its strength and straightness characteristics both during and after the build process. The treatment is effective in ensuring stability of geometry and position in the blockwork where other timber based joist products, engineered or otherwise, built directly into a masonry wall will be susceptible to moisture absorption as a direct result of coming in contact with wet materials, namely the mortar used in the construction process or direct rainfall. However, IWS recommend that, when building in, builders should mastic around the joist. IWS-Joists Supported On Hangers Alternatively to build-in, joists can be supported on traditional or rapid build joist hangers.
