The easi-joist floor system offers clear benefits over sawn timber and other engineered floor joist systems. Not only does it out perform sawn timber and span and dimentional stability, the added benefits of a greater bearing area and open web system makes it easier to install for the carpenter, plumber and electrician, reducing valuable time and cost.

Easi-Joist can run over longer, continuous spans and will come to site ready cut along with a custom designed plan, therefore the potential for confusion or errors is essentially removed.

So what are the advantages for our customers for using easi-joists? Well, with features such as:

• Open web design ensures fast and simple installation, without the need for drilling or notching,
• Design flexibility offers a variety of end conditions and can accommodate for large services,
• Light weight construction allows for easier manoeuvrability and safety on site,
• Offsite manufacturing ensures consistent quality and reliability of joists,
• Longer spans are more achievable in comparison to solid timber and other engineered alternatives.
• Wider spacing requires  fewer joists to complete a floor installation,
• Bespoke design eliminates the need for on-site alterations, which can be costly,
• Money saving, as trades can work faster on site, particularly M&E sub contractors thus reducing labour costs, plus faster program completion, leading to quicker handover and occupation to the end user.

The delegates were introduced to Flight Timber Products by Gary Kent, co-owner/director, who gave a short presentation about the company and its history.  He explained how Flight Timber using their innovative inhouse design and manufacturing techniques could help them with all aspects of timber frame, roof truss, floor truss, bespoke structures and SIPS design structures (Structural Insulated Panels).   The group was then split into smaller groups and were given guided tours of the factory.

With the tours completed, Martin Milner of CCB Evolution addressed the group explaining how in conjunction with Flight Timber Products, they are able to offer specialist engineering services to the timber frame industry.

Paul Kemkaran-Thompson of BREEAM BREEAM Environmental Assessment
Method) was next to speak, explaining that BREEAM is the most widely used environmental assessment method for buildings, as  it sets the standard for best practise in sustainable design has become the de facto measure used to describe a building’s environmental performance. Using just a simple scoring method they are able to ascertain a building’s environmental impact.

Our final talk was from Peter Keogh of SIPS eco panels. Peter spoke about the distinct advantages of using SIPS panels, such as reduced environmental damage, faster build times, reduced foundation costs and extra warm rooms due to the insulation of their panels, to name but a few!

Following our recent move from our old Rendelsham site back to Earls Colne we are happy to report that the new factory was up and running in a very short period of time.

Our staff should be congratulated on the professional manner in which they embraced the move.
