Technical Guide STEICO construction

Product Overview
| STEICOjoist and STEICOwall are natural products
The production basis for all our joists is timber. Made from slow grown
spruce, the flanges are kiln dried and machine stress graded thereby
guaranteeing a consistant quality and defined mechanical properties.
The webs are made from structural fibreboard, jointed along the length
with a V-groove profile, offering a very high shear capacity. Both the
preparation and manufacturing processes of the flanges, the webs and
the installation of durable adhesives are carried out using the latest
automated assembly lines.

To guarantee a consistently high quality of our products, both internal
and external parties control the production process. The I-Joist received
a European technical certification from the British Board of Agrément
(BBA), ETA-06/0238, and carries the CE-mark.
A unique product is the STEICOwall – available as a pre-insulated stud
using natural wood fibres. The spaces between the flanges and the web
are pre-insulated thereby eliminating the need to profile the insulation
on site, and the stud can therefore be used in the same way as a
traditional, solid stud. The insulation materials are made with STEICO’s
standard quality of natural wood fibres, ensuring excellent thermal conductivity
values.
