iLevel™ - TJI® Joists top-off brickwork development
The ability to provide long spans as well as being
lightweight and easy to handle, have seen TJI® joists
utilised to help create a number of curved pod roofs on
a brick and block work mixed residential and commercial
development in Milton Keynes.
TJI® joists, manufactured by iLevel™ Trus Joist®, sit
within a steel framework and support sawn timber trusses
onto which are attached curved metal sheets. The end
result is a visually striking roof design that clearly
adds to the aesthetic appeal of the contemporary styled
development.
The Newhill Place development by Paul Newman New Homes
is spread over four sites - the main building consisting
of apartments, retail premises, restaurants, a nursery
and offices plus two separate apartment blocks and
three, four-bed two storey town houses.
Varying lengths of 406mm deep TJI® joists for the roofs
as well as iLevel™ Floor Systems for the town houses
were supplied by Crendon Timber Engineering.
Engineered wood products, including TJI® joists, are
increasingly being installed alongside other building
systems, including brick and block work, concrete
framework and steel.
Besides greater spanning capabilities enhancing design
options and being quicker to install than sawn timber,
the reduced weight of engineered wood products allows
savings to be made in foundation costs.
