When designing your perfect home, there are so many details to consider from how your home is positioned on your lot to what your exterior finishes will look like. Your floor system is an important piece of the puzzle as it is a part of your home's overall structure. The only way to make the best decision is to know important information about each of your options. Winton supplies three common floor systems that meet engineering demands, quality, and budget.
2x10 SPF – Affordable & Practical
A traditional, time-tested floor system that is both functional and economical. When budget is the priority, this dimensional lumber floor system has adequate performance while keeping costs in check.
This durable choice is the go-to material for decks that are exposed to weather. The moisture and drying cycles will not have a significant impact on the structural integrity of the lumber.
11 7/8” I-Joist – Quick & Strong
I-joists are some of the most commonly used engineered wood products for framing floors and roofs. Made from laminated veneer lumber (LVL), I-joists are strong, lightweight and easy to install in both residential, multi-residential and commercial projects. Consistency and performance, along with proper design, helps reduce vibrations, which means less bounce and fewer squeaks for solid, quiet floors.
WINTON PROLINE Floor Truss – Versatile & Dynamic
Designed to allow longer spans and minimize bearing beams and supports. The valuable floor cavity space in the open web design allows for plumbing, electrical and ventilation systems. With preplanning, this can eliminate the need for unsightly bulkheads and costly drop ceilings to preserve your overall ceiling height.
