OFP Timber Framed Homes Now Produce Open Web Joists From Kent

OFP Timber Framed Homes has announced it is now producing its own open web joists from its factory based in Sandwich, Kent.

Its WebSpan Joist System has been introduced to allow a greater range of flexibility when creating timber frame solutions for every project.

The strength of its WebSpan Joist System lies in the ease in which users can install services to their project – eliminating the need for drilling or notching and allowing tradesmen to work more productively on site. The WebSpan Joist System has a high engineered strength and rigidity – spanning up to 8m with no need for intermediate load bearing walls.

The WebSpan joist can be fitted in masonry builds, as a "supply only" piece of kit, or as part of a timber frame structure. As it is so flexible and easy to install it is as suitable for the self-builder as the multiple unit developer.

OFP Timber Framed Homes has said it is the "joist of the future". As Building Regulations demand greater thermal efficiency from projects, all ducting and service requirements will increase, the benefits of an open web system outshine all alternative joisting options.

This is why OFP Timber Framed Homes are looking to the future of the industry and strive to remain market leaders in the timber frame industry. The firm believes open web joist will save time and money throughout the whole project, and not just the timber frame element.
