Our unique trimmable ends allow the truss to be trimmed on the job site for an exact fit. Other trusses typically cannot be adjusted for site conditions that may not be exactly as expected. TrimJoist® products are also great for angled walls.
OPEN WEB DESIGN
Unlike other solid I-type joists, the TrimJoist® features strut webbing. This eliminates the subcontractor’s need to cut holes. Thus, the valuable floor cavity space is available for plumbing, electrical, and duct work, making them great for use in basements. Say goodbye to drop-down ceilings!
The system's open web design allows subcontractors to easily, practically and quickly run electrical work, duct work and plumbing throughout the flooring system of any building.
EXTRA WIDE FLANGES
The TrimJoist® features a 3.5-inch flange on both top and bottom. This makes subfloor application simpler and quicker. The wide surface also allows for the application of more glue to resist the shearing action between the joist and subfloor. Also, more nails hit their mark, thereby reducing the likelihood of squeaks. The extra-wide nailing surface provided by the TrimJoist® makes for a superior installation and more satisfied owners.
THICK OSB TRIMENDS
Because we use a 23/32-inch-thick OSB (Oriented Strand Board) in our TrimEnd™ sections, the use of compression or “squash” blocks is almost entirely eliminated. Only under the heaviest of load conditions must additional blocking be used.
ENGINEERED STRENGTH
The engineered strength of the TrimJoist® system provides for longer spans and wider on-center spacing that results in lower costs from both the material and the labor perspective.
Joists come in two-foot incremental lengths, beginning at 4 feet and spanning as far as 30 feet and can be trimmed by up to 24 inches.
MADE IN THE USA
The TrimJoist® floor system is manufactured entirely in the United States. This allows for us to employ those in our local community, achieve a higher standard of quality control and guarantee timely delivery.
Trimjoist introduced the first trimmable floor truss system to the building industry and is the only corporation with a patent on a trimmable floor joist.
THIRD PARTY QUALITY ASSURANCE
Our products are fabricated under third party quality assurance by PFS Corporation.

AVAILABLE AT LOCAL BUILDING SUPPLY
Since the TrimJoist® is available from stock at any authorized dealer, there are no lead times. Any overage or underage can be handled by your building supplier — not a factory, which may impose a surcharge for an “extra” truss.
