Wood I-Beam floor framing utilizes engineered wood I-beams to form a sturdy, stable structure for floors. These beams are strong, lightweight, and resist warping or twisting. They consist of a top and bottom flange (usually made of laminated veneer lumber or structural composite lumber) connected by a thin, vertical web made from plywood or oriented strand board (OSB). Spaced at regular intervals, the I-beams bear the weight of the floor, transmitting it to the foundation. These systems offer efficient installation, environmental sustainability, and superior performance in terms of strength, stability, and uniformity compared to traditional solid lumber.
I-Beam Wood Floors are constructed in a range of sizes with spacing of 12”, 16”, 24” (30.5, 40.6, 61 cm) and typical spans between 12’-32’ (3.66-9.75 m). I-Beam Wood Floors have nominal sizes of 10”, 12”, 14”, 16” with actual sizes of 9.5”, 11.88”, 14”, 16” (24.1, 30.2, 35.6, 40.6 cm).
