Open Joist 2000
Imagine the time you’ll save running
mechanicals without having to cut or drill holes! Open
Joist 2000 is the world’s friendliest, most advanced
joist system... an engineered, open-web floor truss made
without metal fasteners. Wide nailing flanges and open
webs allow for FAST, concealed installation of electrical,
plumbing, and HVAC systems. Available in a variety of
depths, Open Joist 2000 offers superior strength and
load-carrying capability.

Roof Trusses
With truss construction, the only limit
to what you can build is your imagination. Our roof trusses
reduce the “variables” of building, because they’re designed
according to your specifications. And you save valuable
time by using these pre-assembled trusses instead of
constructing roof trusses on-site. Time is money, and
our roof trusses save you both!

Framing
Owner Builder Framing Systems is your
best bet for all your framing needs. From roofs, walls,
and floors to installation, we have it all. We provide
materials and engineered wood components, design and
engineering services, construction management, and installation
support for your framing project.

|
|
Wall Panels
Like all of our engineered wood products,
our wall panels save you time, money, and guesswork.
All of our panels are computer-designed, resulting in
precision-engineered pieces that fit together in exact
order. You’ll receive a complete wall system with framed-in
openings for windows, doors, and headers. Why waste weeks
or month framing your home on stud at a time when you
could have a fully enclosed, air-tight and rock-solid
structure in just a few days?!

Plated Floor Trusses also available
Owner Builder Framing Systems is your
best resource for superior, cost-effective plated floor
trusses. Our open-web trusses are custom-made to fit
exact specifications, so you won’t have to cut them on
the job. As with Open Joist 2000, our plated trusses’ open-web
configuration allows the builder to quickly and easily
install mechanical systems.
|
|
|
I-Joists also available
We also offer a complete line of I-joists
for all applications—from solid-sawn flanges to LVL flanges.
Stronger, straighter, and more consistent in quality
than dimensional lumber, our I-joists are lightweight
and yield less waste during installation.

Floor Truss Engineering
The superior strength and load-carrying capabilities of our OPEN JOIST system
make it ideal for longer joist spans or wider joist spacing. Long-span capabilities
can eliminate the need for intermediate bearings which reduces your framing
costs. Wider on-center spacing capabilities mean fewer joists which also
lower framing costs.
Open Joist Saves Critical Space... Time and Money
OPEN JOIST's open-web configuration allows for easier and faster mechanical
systems installation (plumbing, electrical, HVAC). Since your mechanical
systems easily install within the floor's framing -- rather than hanging
below it -- you get space-savings that are unattainable with any other joist
style.
Our “through-web” access can also save money
in hidden ways by eliminating the added expense of digging
and pouring an extra-deep foundation! The open design is highly
engineered to absorb and dampen floor vibrations far more effectively
than solid joists, while the configuration allows for minimal
movement and shrinkage after installation. Through-web access
eliminates the time, expense and potential dangers posed by
drilling or cutting holes in solid joists. This truly is
the greatest advancement in joist technology to come along
in years... you’ll ask yourself “why didn’t I think of that?”
Trim-able Trusses
Trim-able trusses let you cut the exact length dimensions needed for framing.
Trim-able trusses make field adjustments easy, allowing framers to compensate
for dimension changes, out-of-square foundations, etc.

Finger Joinery Assembly and Waterproof Structural Glue
"Welded" wood connections are stronger and more resilient than plated
connections, because large surfaces are glued within small areas. Finger-joint
technology provides truss strength and saves cost by using minimal wood fiber.
Trimmable trusses don't have sharp-edged steel plates, which make trusses heavy,
costly and hazardous to framers.
Stocking
We always have OPEN JOIST in stock, so your turnaround time for truss orders
is reduced to days rather than weeks. Plus, you’ll get immediate replacement
of damaged trusses. Truss engineering has already been completed, so shop
drawings can be sealed faster.
Depths
OPEN JOIST's design affords the most cost-effective depths, which are versatile
to each floor design. OPEN JOIST comes in depths that are appropriate for
all wood-frame construction projects. For remodeling projects, the ranges
of depths available make it easier to accommodate building height restrictions
and to match existing framing. Open-web floor trusses are available in depths
under 12" for greater versatility.

Top and Bottom Chords
Top and bottom chords provide larger surface for adhesives and fasteners for
sub-floor installation. They prevent fastener "misses" and provide
a larger adhesive coverage area to ensure a quieter floor. Plus, they create "stiffer" floors
by reducing the span of sub-floor material.
Stocked in One-Foot Increments
Smaller increments reduce excess material and the costs incurred by typical
two-foot increments. Maximum per-piece cut offs are reduced to 11" from
23", thereby reducing job site waste.
Installs like Dimension Lumber
OPEN JOIST installs faster than products that use accessory pieces such as
web stiffeners, squash blocks, web fillers, etc. OPEN JOIST requires a minimum
bearing of only 1-1/2", thereby allowing butt joints over 2x4 intermediate
bearing walls. Its simple-span engineering and the elimination of blocking
at intermediate bearings lower the cost per lineal foot and reduce overall
job costs. OPEN JOIST is more "framer-user-friendly" than other
engineered joists and the choice of smart, cost-conscious owner-builders.

Individually Tested Trusses
OPEN JOIST's trusses are performance-tested to bear more than twice their
design load. These are the only individually tested trusses available on
the market today, so product quality is guaranteed. Individual testing ensures
defect-free trusses. Now THAT’S total peace of mind!
Lifetime Warranty
OPEN JOIST offers owner-builders peace of mind with an unheard of manufacturer’s
lifetime warranty! Just
ask your local builder to offer you such peace of mind and
see what happens.
Environmental Conservation
OPEN JOIST uses wood fiber only from high-quality, "mature-growth" trees.
OPEN JOIST is made from a renewable resource using a manufacturing process
that consumes significantly less energy than steel plate manufacturing processes,
and uses only the amount of wood fiber required by the structure of the truss.
Accepted by BOCA, ICBO, SBCCI and CCMC
OPEN JOIST is accepted for use in all of the United States and Canada.
