Engineered timber products are unique in that they can be supplied up to 12m long, if necessary. They are dimensionally stable – no twisting or bowing means you don't lose time straightening or planning, which solid-wood joists often require. This means you can do away with mid-span nogging. The unique structural properties of a timber IBeam also mean large service holes can be made with no need for brackets.

IBuilt engineered midfloors use a range of quality products: IBeams from Louisiana Pacific (LP), structural LVL from Nelson Pine and high-strength 17C Glulam from Hyne Timber. An IBuilt-supplied midfloor also comes with all the hangers and hardware you need – from top plate to bottom plate, in one delivery. Even IBuilt's own structural flooring plywood can be included. All IBuilt midfloor designs are also supplied with a layout plan and joist certification documentation using the Hyne Design (HD7) engineering software.
