Energy Efficient
The production of Eco Joists typically requires less energy compared to the manufacturing of traditional building materials. The insulation properties of engineered wood contribute to improved energy efficiency within the building. The reduced energy consumption during production, coupled with enhanced insulation, makes Eco Joists an environmentally conscious choice.
Sustainable
Eco Joists are crafted from engineered wood products, which are often sourced from sustainable and renewable forestry practices. Unlike traditional timber joists that may contribute to deforestation, Eco Joists promote responsible resource management.
By choosing Eco Joists, builders contribute to the preservation of forests and promote environmentally sustainable construction practices.
Consistent Quality and Strength
Engineered wood products, used in the production of Eco Joists, are designed to provide consistent strength and durability. These joists are engineered to resist warping, twisting, and shrinking, ensuring a stable and reliable foundation for the structure. This consistency in quality translates to a longer lifespan for the building, reducing the need for frequent replacements and minimising waste over time.
Reduced Waste
Traditional timber joists often generate more waste during the construction process due to variations in size and defects in the wood. Eco Joists, being engineered with precision, result in less waste during production and installation. This reduction in waste not only contributes to a cleaner construction site but also aligns with sustainable building practices.
Versatility in Design
Eco Joists offer architects and builders greater flexibility in design. Their engineered nature allows for longer spans without compromising structural integrity, providing more options for open and innovative architectural designs. This versatility in design enhances the aesthetic appeal of a building while maintaining its structural integrity.
Compliance with Building Standards
Eco Joists are designed and manufactured to meet or exceed industry standards for strength and safety. Builders can be confident in their compliance with building codes, ensuring that structures are not only environmentally friendly but also meet the necessary regulatory requirements.
Cost Effective
While initial costs may vary, Eco Joists often prove to be cost-effective in the long run. Their durability and resistance to common issues such as rot and insect damage reduce maintenance expenses over time. Moreover, the versatility in design can lead to more efficient use of space, potentially saving on construction costs.
