EASI-JOISTS® FOR STRONG, VERSATILE FLOORING

At Read Brothers, our Easi Joists provide a dependable solution for creating a strong and adaptable flooring system across residential and commercial builds in East Anglia. Our designers are able to engineer specific loadings, for example, to support roof lights in a flat roof build, and the joists can span longer distances than a traditional timber joist. The open web structure makes them ideal for integrating services such as plumbing, electrics, and heating without compromising structural integrity.

WHY EASI-JOISTS® ARE THE SMART CHOICE

Easi-Joists® are crafted to simplify the building process while offering exceptional performance. Their prefabricated design allows installers to fit them quickly, reducing construction time and minimising the need for adjustments. Longer spans help remove the reliance on internal load-bearing walls, giving greater freedom in floor design and room layout. These benefits make them especially useful for extensions, loft conversions, and commercial spaces that demand efficient construction. In projects where exterior finishes are needed, our cladding options can complement joist-based builds with durable, attractive timber solutions.

SUSTAINABLE AND EFFICIENT FLOORING SOLUTIONS

Sustainability is built into every Easi-Joist®. By using timber efficiently and reducing waste during manufacture, the system supports environmentally responsible construction without sacrificing strength or durability. Each joist is produced in a controlled environment, ensuring precise dimensions, consistent quality, and long-term reliability. This focus on sustainability and engineering accuracy makes Easi-Joists® a popular choice for builders looking to improve performance while maintaining a responsible approach to material use. With Read Brothers overseeing the design, manufacture, and delivery process, you receive flooring solutions that combine environmental consideration with dependable craftsmanship.
