TrimJoist®
floor systems-ewp
Description
TrimJoist® is a patented open-web floor truss system that combines the strength of an I-joist with the layout flexibility of a truss. Designed with wood diagonal webs and an open center, TrimJoist® allows for field trimming and easy routing of utilities—making it ideal for modern framing.
Common Applications
- •Single-family homes
- •Multi-family structures
- •Light commercial buildings
- •Remodels or additions where flexibility and utility access are key

- Depths: Standard depths include 11-7/8", 14", 16", and 18" (custom depths also available)
- Lengths: Available in custom lengths up to 30 feet or more, depending on load specifications
- Web Configuration: Wood diagonal webs (not metal), which allow for trimming
- End Trimming: Trimmable on both ends—typically 6" to 24" total, depending on depth
- Top & Bottom Chords: Solid-sawn or LVL, depending on span and loading requirements
- Bearing Requirements: Typically requires 3-1/2" minimum bearing at each end
- Design Loads: Designed to meet or exceed L/480 live load deflection standards
- Fire Rating: May require additional fire protection (e.g., drywall or encapsulation), depending on code
- Code Compliance: Complies with IBC, IRC, and APA/EWS standards; stamped engineering drawings typically provided
Benefits
- Open-web design simplifies HVAC, plumbing, and electrical runs—no drilling or notching needed
- Trimmable on-site, unlike traditional trusses
