PosiStrut floor trusses

PosiStrut Trusses are open-webbed, parallel chord trusses that can be used to construct floors, roofs and wall bracing panels.

The secret to the popularity of PosiStrut Trusses can be found in their open-webbed design. The unique ‘V’ shaped steel web with integral teeth, combined with timber top and bottom chords, result in long, strong, light-weight beams.

PosiStrut floor trusses are the perfect floor joist – they provide a rigid floor structure that’s straight and uniform. Using MiTek’s unique strongback bracing system, which ties adjacent PosiStrut trusses together, floor bounce and the incidence of squeaky floors is greatly reduced.

Another inherent advantage of the unique design of PosiStrut floor trusses is that they can be designed and manufactured for top chord support. This makes them easy to install and ideal for internal applications where space is at a premium.

Truss Top Chord support is a much more practical, rigid method of fixing than those adopted with I-Beams or timber joists. Costs are reduced because there’s no need for expensive hangers or brackets.

Wide parallel chords also mean easier floor fixing and more stable trusses.

PosiStrut Trusses are also manufactured to length so they are ready for immediate installation on-site – eliminating the need for trimming. There’s none of the material wastage or extra labour on site you get with timber joists or I-Beams. PosiTrusses have been readily adopted on-site because they are so user-friendly. They’re easier to fix, easier to manoeuvre and easier for following trades.

Plus, each and every PosiStrut is engineered to meet the specific requirements of your floor or roof – so you can be sure of getting the right solution for every job. PosiTruss’ open webbed construction also helps to reduce on-site costs even more!

PosiTruss’ open web design provides excellent access for plumbing, electrical, heating and air-conditioning ducting.

Forget cutting holes through solid timber joists and reducing their strength, possibly even their structural integrity, or building expensive bulk heads to accommodate other services.

Add up all these advantages and PosiStruts truly are the perfect engineered flooring solution.
