| SMARTJOIST ENGINEERED I-JOIST ENCORE |
 Tilling Timber’s SmartJoist I-Joists are a flexible and cost-effective solution for floor framing systems.
Working closely with their timber merchant, Bowens, VM Romano needed to tighten costs on a large office and apartment development in Melbourne’s north. Bowens approached Tilling for a more cost-effective floor framing system, and Tilling’s SmartFrame Design Centre came back with a solution using SmartJoist and SmartFrame LVL.
The recently released SmartJoist I-Joists have Douglas fir flanges, giving them unsurpassed strength. User-friendly and cost-effective, the range covers a broad selection of section sizes to suit almost any job.
Jamie Bishop, the construction manager for this project, couldn’t be happier with the result. “With all the coordinating and on-site applications, Tilling were fantastic. SmartJoist I-Joists are so easy to work with – really easy, nice and light, and can be docked on site. And unlike open web joists, load-bearing walls can go anywhere along the joist length; you don’t have to worry about what’s underneath it.” Jamie also found the technical back-up of the SmartFrame Design Centre, as well as the engineering and documentation, to be invaluable.
VM Romano will be back again. |
