Using Steel Floor Joists from State Building Products
When it comes to building a strong, long-lasting structure, the framework matters. And one of the most critical structural components in any residential or commercial building is the floor joist system. At State Building Products, we offer steel floor joists that combine strength, precision, and long-term durability, making them a superior choice for modern construction projects.
So, why choose steel floor joists, and what sets State Building Products apart? In this month’s blog post, we’re highlighting the benefits of using our steel joist systems in your next project.
Strength That Outperforms Wood
Steel floor joists provide far greater strength-to-weight ratios compared to traditional wood joists. This added strength allows for longer spans without the need for additional supports, giving architects and builders greater design flexibility. Whether you’re working on a large commercial project or a modern custom home, steel joists make it easier to achieve open-concept layouts without compromising structural integrity.
Because steel doesn’t warp, split, or shrink like wood, your floors will remain level and solid for years—no creaks, no sagging, and no surprises.
Consistency You Can Rely On
One of the key advantages of working with steel framing products is consistency. Unlike wood, which can vary in quality and dimension due to natural imperfections, every steel floor joist from State Building Products is manufactured to precise specifications. This ensures that every component you receive fits exactly as intended, reducing errors, speeding up installation, and minimizing waste on the job site.
Our steel joists are designed for compatibility with other cold-formed steel components, giving builders a complete framing solution that’s predictable and reliable from the ground up.
Fire, Pest, and Moisture Resistance
Steel is naturally resistant to fire, insects, and moisture, which are three of the biggest threats to traditional wood-framed floors. Using steel floor joists improves the safety and durability of your structure, helping to meet code requirements and reduce long-term maintenance.
Especially in multifamily, industrial, or institutional buildings, the added fire resistance of steel framing can provide peace of mind and even lead to insurance savings over time.
