"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.
