Joist Repair Reinforcers
Our joist repair reinforcers enable code-compliant utility routing through wood joists while enhancing structural integrity. The system uses patented steel plates that require no glue, with included fasteners for quick installation. Contractors benefit from pre-engineered solutions that restore and exceed original strength in conventional 2x joists. This eliminates the need for oversized replacement joists in renovation projects requiring plumbing or HVAC modifications.
I-Joist Flange Reinforcers
Designed specifically for engineered I-joists, these flange reinforcers repair top or bottom notch cuts up to 2.5" wide in 11-7/8", 14", and 16" joist sizes. The cold-formed steel components attach directly to damaged flanges using provided screws, restoring structural capacity without complex installation requirements. This solution maintains the advantages of I-joist construction while addressing field modifications.
Deck Ledger Brackets
Our MTW deck ledger brackets provide secure connections for decks attached to brick, stone, or vinyl siding surfaces. The patented design eliminates traditional lag bolt methods, offering faster installation while maintaining structural integrity. Available in dual versions for different veneer types, these brackets include all necessary fasteners and meet fire safety and load-bearing requirements for residential and commercial applications.
Concrete Deck Systems
TUFF DECK suspended concrete decks combine concrete durability with flexible installation. The system supports wood, tile, or decorative finishes while allowing radiant heating integration. Its lightweight steel framework enables rapid assembly without welding, with on-site trimmable components for custom layouts. This solution provides commercial-grade strength for multi-family housing or commercial structures requiring long-term performance.
Structural Beam Systems
TUFF BEAM structural CFS beams create unobstructed open spaces up to 30' in residential and light commercial construction. The galvanized steel components eliminate traditional header requirements above windows and doors while improving energy efficiency. Contractors benefit from pre-engineered connections that simplify installation compared to traditional laminated beams, maintaining structural integrity in load-bearing applications.
Questions
Do your joist repair products require special installation tools?
No - all products include required fasteners and drill bits. Installation only requires standard screw guns and basic carpentry tools.
Can I use these products for both residential and commercial projects?
Yes - all Metwood solutions meet structural requirements for residential, multi-family, and light commercial applications.
Are your products accepted by local building inspectors?
Yes - each solution has code compliance documentation and third-party engineering reports for easy approval.
How do I determine which reinforcement size to use?
Select based on joist dimensions: 2810HR for 2x10/2x12, 210NR for 2x10, 28NR for 2x8. Engineering guide available for complex applications.
Can these products be modified on-site?
Yes - beam and joist systems use trimmable components that allow field adjustments without compromising structural integrity.
Do you provide technical support for project-specific applications?
Yes - our engineering team offers free consultation for custom configurations and code compliance verification.
