Wood Web Floors (click on the image for a larger view)

One of the products Prairie Truss plans to sell more of in the future is its wood web floor system. “A wood web floor is superior in many ways to I-Beams or “Silent Floor” systems,” according to Matt Guenther, truss designer for Prairie Truss. “More importantly, while an individual wood web truss may cost more for its equivalent I-Joist, over all the wood web floor can often save money in the end,” says Guenther. The aesthetics are another benefit.

An I-Joist system that cannot clear-span 18 feet will require a telepost and a beam which are all very costly, he says. However a wood web floor system can easily span that distance without tele-posts or beams of any kind, thus saving money in the end, and you end up with a basement without posts or beams in the way, adds Guenther.

On top of all this, wood web floors have more obvious advantages from their construction, he says. Pipes, wires and heating duct can easily pass through the system as there are a multitude of spaces because it is a wood web construction rather than one solid wall of plywood (which obviously nothing can pass through). As well, chase ways can be engineered into the wood web truss to allow heating ducts to run inside the floor system itself, also eliminating bulky duct, which you end up banging your head on, in the basement.
