BCI Joists are engineered to start straighter and stay straighter. Longer and stronger
than traditional solid sawn lumber joists, they have more load carrying capacity, so fewer
pieces are needed to frame the average floor. In addition to standard applications, BCI
Joists can be used for cantilever joists in balconies, cathedral ceilings, high pitch roof
framing, and expanding conventionally framed construction.
