SAVE TIME AND MONEY
Because they weigh less than solid sawn Joists BSI joists are easier to install, saving you construction cost and time. Their greater load carrying capacity allows you to space them farther apart, so it takes fewer to build the average floor. And with four depths available from 9 1/2" to 16", you never have to compromise your design. So no matter what your plans call for, BSI Joists are the perfect choice.

• THE BSI JOIST ADVANTAGES:
  More uniform strength, stiffness, size, weight, and appearance
• Less likely to shrink, twists split, or crown
• Lightweight, easy to install
• Long length capabilities of 48'
• Accepted by major building codes
• Quick and convenient, OSB rim board is precision cut to match our 9 1/2", 11 7/8", 14", and 16" BSI Joist depths.
• 12-ft. lengths mean your BSI engineered floor system goes together even faster.
• Eliminate inaccuracies and time involved ripping plywood rim boards.
• High load capacity means squash blocks are unnecessary on most multistory story applications.
• Flat surface means easy fastening for siding.
• Dimensionally stable oriented strand board is an exact match to I-Joists depths.
• OSB rim board is manufactured using predominantly fast-growing trees, a renewable resource that leaves our old-growth forest for future generations to enjoy.

FOUR SERIES AVAILABLE
Broadspan offers four series of BSI Joists to meet every residential and light commercial construction need. All feature strong, stable oriented strand board webs. The 900 series are made with LVL flanges that have visually graded spruce-pine-fir flanges, and the 40, 60 and 80 series has flanges constructed from strong kiln-dried solid sawn lumber stock.

OSB RIM BOARD
An exact match to our BSI Joist depths. Broadspan OSB rim board is a strong, cost-effective compliment to BSI’s engineered floor system. BSI Joists and LVL beams offer many advantages for your building needs. Now OSB rim board completes BSI's floor system package with an easy, reliable way to finish off floor and roof installations.

A SMART CHOICE FOR THE 21st CENTURY & BEYOND
The OSB webs in our BSI Joists are engineered primarily from plentiful, fast-growing trees. So when you use them instead of dimensional sawn lumber, you're helping to reduce our country's dependence on old-growth forests. Like all BSI's engineered wood products, BSI Joists make the most sensible use of our precious forest resources. And that makes them an environmentally sound and cost-effective alternative for your building products.

DESIGN SOFTWARE
We use Keymark’s Design engineering software to give you complete in house design capabilities. We can give you accurate designs for a wide variety of applications with printed or plotted drawings.

LIMITED LIFETIME WARRANTY
Broadspan gives you a limited product warranty for the life of the structures you design using BSI Joists. So, you can feel confident that BSI joists are free from defects in material, workmanship, and design.

LVL: BETTER THAN TRADITIONAL SAWN LUMBER
Laminated veneer lumber is an excellent choice for beams, headers, or other primary load carrying members. It gives you more design freedom because it's manufactured to be thicker, wider, and longer than solid sawn beams. Using ultrasonic veneer grading and selection, they have removed many of the flaws found in wood. Problems like twisting, splitting and checking are drastically reduced so there's little waste on the job site. LVL delivers consistent, reliable performances time after time.

ENGINEERED FOR STRENGTH
By combining exterior adhesives and ultrasonically graded veneers, BSI has created an exceptionally strong engineered product with more load carrying capacity per pound than solid sawn lumber. LVL has all the advantages of wood, with no major strength reducing defects. It's easy to work with, saving you money and time. It has a high allowable bending stress and is available in long lengths and a variety of depths for every job. BSI’s LVL is easy to cut and nail with regular tools. Plus LVL has evaluation reports from ICBO, SSCCI, BOCA, ICC and all major building codes.

AN ENVIRONMENTALLY SMART CHOICE
LVL is made from wood: a renewable resource-and that makes it a better choice for building.
