...the new standard in floor framing

Why OPEN JOIST 2000?
Why are they becoming the new standard for Modular Home manufacturers?

Stronger Floor System
  • Truss Engineering produces a floor system 1 1/2 to 2 times stronger than required by US building codes.

    Quieter Floor System
  • A 2 1/2" nailing flange ensures that decking is properly fastened to avoid squeaks.
  • Open web design allows OPEN JOIST 2000 to effectively absorb and disperse floor vibrations.
  • Squeaks resulting from expansion and contraction due to moisture conditions are virtually eliminated.

    Reduced Home Set-Up Costs
  • OPEN JOIST 2000 eliminates the need to cut or drill through joists to install electrical, plumbing, and HVAC services. Through-web access allows mechanical systems to be "hidden" inside the floor system.
  • Eliminates the need for dropped basement ceilings or the expense of installing a deeper foundation.
  • Slashes HVAC costs when ductwork is pre-installed in the factory.
  • OPEN JOIST 2000 floor trusses add strength to the modular box so that in-transit drywall damage is reduced.

    Environmentally Friendly Product
  • OPEN JOIST 2000 Floor Trusses use approximately 35% less wood fiber than solid-sawn lumber, yet are stronger.
  • Most OPEN JOIST 2000 raw materials come from small diameter, fast growth trees from renewable forests.
  • No steel is used in the assembly of OPEN JOIST 2000, so the expenditure of energy and non-renewable resources is avoided.

    Affordable Product
  • OPEN JOIST 2000's patented assembly process which utilizes precision finger joinery and waterproof structural glue, avoids the high cost of steel truss plates.

    Lifetime Guarantee
  • Each OPEN JOIST 2000 Floor Truss is individually tested in the factory to make sure it will carry more than twice the required floor load.
  • OPEN JOIST 2000 floor systems are guaranteed against failure during the lifetime of the home.
