Profi-joist uses galvanized pipe clips attached to joist edges. With a fast response time and no need for equal joist spacing’s, Profi-joist is ideal for any joisted floor.
The Profi-joist system combines 450mm long galvanised pipe holding clips, which are attached to joist edges. Random joist spacing’s are easily accommodated with this system, making it ideal for adding underfloor heating into older buildings.
Once installed, either a chipboard floor deck, or solid timer flooring is installed directly to the joists.
