Floors

Dimensional stability

A low proportion of homogeneous wood and glued components means that Masonite Beams’ I-joists have a high level of dimensional stability. The products are characterised by minimal warp, low shrinkage and a very straight product. 

• Even floors and walls - minimal risk of complaints
• No visible gaps or cracks in the floor - satisfied end customers
• No abnormally large movements that vary over the year - more secure waterproofing
• Very small risk of creaking floors
• Simple installations with 38% higher efficiency

Easy installations

Our I-joists enable simple installations thanks to their lightweight yet robust properties.

With our versatile webs, you can save time and money as your heating and electrical engineers can work more efficiently with shorter wiring runs and pipe bends. At the same time, functionally adapted beams and tried and tested structures offer total building efficiency with less material waste. Calculations based on Wikells Sektionsdata show that a traditional solid floors can require around 38% more labor time compared to a floor structure built with Masonite Beams lightweight joists.

Floors with strict acoustic requirements

Apartment blocks and buildings with apartments separated by floor structures have high acoustic requirements in order to achieve good acoustic comfort between homes, e.g. in terms of impact sound and airborne sound. Masonite Beams has been working with research and development of acoustic solutions for floor structures for more than 30 years and still leads the way in this area.

We offer solutions with I-joists in which tests show that our beams, despite their relatively simple design, achieve very good acoustic properties. Our sound floor structures can be combined with MFB patented floor structure hangers and Sylomer - cushions that effectively dampen vibrations and provide for easy installation.
