Engineered Floors

Plan-it UPVC & Building Supplies are able to offer a fully comprehensive design and supply service to accommodate your Engineered Floor requirements. We are able to offer two flooring systems, Posi Joists (metal web) and I-beams, both have many advantages over using traditional timber joists. Please see below the benefits of each system.
We offer free Site Survey once quotation has been approved which means that we accept the responsibility for confirmation of the roof truss dimensions at no additional cost to you.
We are able to offer a nationwide coverage on Engineered Floors so no matter where you are we have you covered.

The benefits of using I-beams are –

• Lighter and easier to handle with eased edges.
• Lengths up to 12m.
• Eliminates squeaky floors when fitted correctly.
• Stable composition resists shrinkage and warping.
• Cost effective saving on time, labour and materials.
• No mid-span noggins required.
• Convenient easy to cut, drill and install using conventional woodworking tools.
• Versatile – Design flexibility in floor, wall and roof applications.

In addition to the structural items which we include with the I-Joist pack, flooring grade chipboard can also be supplied to complete the package. Egger’s WEYROC® Protect flooring system is an ideal partner to I-Joist floors to create safe working platform floors and temporary protection from the elements during construction. Egger have produced a BBA approved ‘rapid deck floor laying system’ using Egger D4 Adhesive which is designed to reduce installation times and minimise squeaky floors.
