Floor Joists are timber beams that run parallel to the walls and perpendicular to the beams to form the supportive framework for flooring.
The Floor Joists play a very important role in the subfloor as they carry the dead load of the flooring, the dead load of the furniture, the impact and vibrations of people walking.
The Joists must be fixed properly and be closely spaced so that they can efficiently take all the loads and prevent bending, warping or sagging of the floor. High-quality timber should be used for the joist as this helps in having a strong, durable level and even flooring.
