What is a JJI-Joist?
A JJI-Joist is a structurally engineered timber joist, combining high-grade softwood with an engineered composite panel. Using advanced technology these components are combined to produce an innovative alternative to conventional construction timber. They are produced on the first purpose-made I-joist production line in the UK, custom built to produce JJI-Joists to UK preferred dimensions.
Product Range & Specification
JJI-Joists are available in a range of sizes familiar to the UK Construction Industry with joist depths ranging from 145mm to 450mm. JJI-Joists are constructed from 9mm OSB web and C24 softwood flanges ranging from 47mm to 97mm in width.
Due to the unique form of the JJI-Joist British Board of Agrément Approval, it is possible to design and produce large volumes of non-standard JJI-Joists to allow for particular span and depth situations that cannot be covered by the standard range.
James Jones & Sons Ltd. is pleased to announce our new Interactive Span Table. Visitors can enter their span and load conditions and receive a list of joists suitable for the application. Please use the link below to access this feature.
