Simple to Install
I-joists save builders time, and therefore money. I-joists are typically pre-cut in two-foot increments in length and shipped to the job site ready to install. This minimizes job site cutting and material waste. I-joists can be cut and fastened with traditional framing tools and fasteners no special tools are required. In addition, allowable spans for uniformly loaded glued-nailed residential floors for both simple and multiple span applications are clearly stamped on each I-joist, making them easier for builders and remodelers to install properly, and more visible for code officials to inspect. Since I-joists can typically be used at greater joist spacing than conventional lumber joists, fewer pieces must be cut and handled on the job site, making I-joist installation less costly and less wasteful for the builder.

Allow Design Flexibility
The availability of long lengths allows for multiple span installations thus speeding construction by eliminating the need to lap joists over earing walls or support beams. This also means fewer pieces to handle, resulting in lower labor costs.

Dimensionally Stable
I-joists will not warp, twist, or shrink, and are more uniform and dimensionally stable than conventional lumber joists.

Light Weight
Because I-joists typically weigh less than half as much as comparable conventional lumber joists, they can be installed quickly and efficiently.

Web Holes
The wood structural panel webs in I-joists permit holes to be easily cut on site to permit the passage of electrical wiring, plumbing and ductwork. Nordic I-joists provide knockout holes along the length of the joists to facilitate the installation of electrical wiring or light lumbing lines. These knockouts can easily be removed with a hammer as needed.

APA Quality Assured
The APA trademark ensures superior I-joist quality and consistent performance. All products are subject to proven quality assurance programs.

Resource Friendly
Nordic I-joists use up to 50% less wood fiber in the production process than conventional lumber joists, allowing more efficient use of natural resources.
