Dating back to the 1950s, cold-formed steel flooring has become a standard in construction. Renowned for its ease of use, cost-effectiveness, reliability, and exceptional fire resistance, it's the top choice in modern building. While most companies use C-shaped steel, we've invested years in developing superior I-shaped components, incorporating connectors and, in some cases, Dovetail deck. This transforms individual parts into a powerful integrated system. iSPAN holds exclusive patents for this groundbreaking technology, establishing us as a global industry leader.
Our steel joists and flooring components are manufactured with precision in a quality-controlled environment. Our proprietary systems simplify installation, reduce labor costs, expedite construction, and elevate overall quality. This assures cost certainty for your project. Our systems are designed and delivered to your site in the required lengths and quantities, minimizing waste and maintaining a clean work area. They seamlessly integrate with other components, enhancing efficiency in mechanical, electrical, and plumbing work. Sustainability is a core value, reflected in our choice of suppliers using recycled steel. iSPAN steel joists, with a lifespan exceeding 100 years, epitomize sustainable building materials - they're reusable, reclaimable, and recyclable.
Our vibration-controlled floor design guarantees industry-leading comfort, and TotalJoist boasts a one-hour fire rating (UL, ULC Rated) and a 50 STC Acoustic Rating with just a single layer of gypsum. With unmatched clear spans compared to I-wood, it enables open design concepts and larger rooms, surpassing engineered lumber by up to 30%. Dimensionally stable, steel's inherent nature prevents shrinking, twisting, warping, and damage from termites or mold.TotalJoist eliminates bulkheads, enabling modern and spacious rooms that enhance marketability. Its lower-profile joist, up to 30% shallower than I-wood, allows for higher ceilings, slimmer bulkheads, and decreased floor depth. This eco-friendly choice offers a life expectancy of over 100 years, with durability, reclaimability, recyclability, and reduced waste material. Plus, it simplifies follow-up trades with large pre-cut service and wiring openings, all while being easy to handle and carry like wood. With TotalJoist, you have the flexibility to adjust on-site, and it's available in multiple depths, ensuring a versatile and efficient solution for your projects.
Composite TotalJoist redefines design and construction options while delivering a robust, high-quality flooring system. Its quick and straightforward installation allows owners and developers to accelerate their construction schedules, realizing returns on investment sooner.
Composite TotalJoist prioritizes performance and efficiency with every flooring system. Our proprietary design method ensures comfortable and enjoyable floors, while high acoustic ratings minimize noise complaints, a common issue in multi-family living. It boasts a remarkable 60% higher acoustic rating than precast and over 34% higher than wood and gypcrete, significantly reducing sound flanking. Made from non-combustible materials, it achieves a 2-hour UL/ULC fire rating with just one layer of drywall.
No shoring or temporary formwork is required, thanks to pre-cambered joists that eliminate the need for shoring during the concrete topping pour. Steel decking acts as stay-in-place formwork, streamlining the schedule by eliminating the need for formwork placement and removal. Pre-engineered components ensure quick and easy installation without the need for specialized trades. Composite TotalJoist accommodates various flooring systems, including polished concrete and in-floor heating, with Total-Lewis-Deck efficiently distributing heat upwards for enhanced heating system efficiency.
