As we move further into 2026, we would like to take a moment to wish you a year filled with health, prosperity, and success in all your projects. May the months ahead be marked by the achievement of your goals and the realization of promising initiatives.

We sincerely hope that TRIFORCE® joists will continue to play a key role in your success this year and contribute to the performance and quality of your projects.

Thank you for your continued trust. We look forward to strengthening our collaboration throughout the year ahead.

Let us remind you what makes TRIFORCE® joists such a valuable asset in your construction projects:

  • Designed to meet the industry’s highest standards, they stand out for their performance, reliability, and versatility.
  • It is this combination of advantages that explains why professionals who have tried them are completely satisfied and continue to choose them project after project.
  • TRIFORCE® joists have established themselves as a proven solution, contributing to the efficiency, quality, and lasting success of your projects.

When compared to other well-known products, such as metal plate joists or solid joists:

  • Metal plate joists can often cause squeaking.
  • They can damage wires and pipes.
  • During installation, they are heavy and can cause injuries due to the plates.
  • In case of fire, there may be an unpredictable collapse due to the rapid loss of strength of metal plates.

On the other hand, the adhesive used for TRIFORCE® joists:

  • Is a sustainable, high-performance solution that offers greater efficiency than metal plates.
  • Is a proven, structural-grade waterproof resorcinol adhesive.
  • Is NES and CCMC approved.
  • Is engineered to withstand severe environmental conditions, including humidity, water exposure, extreme cold, intense heat, and fire.

As for the open web structure:

  • It allows for better passage of MEPs, unlike solid joists, which require holes to be made.
  • This saves time during installation.
  • It provides flexibility and adaptability on site.
  • It offers better dimensional stability, allowing for longer spans with less material.

Several other features of TRIFORCE® are also waiting to be discovered, such as:

  • Its trimmable OSB side at one end, with a length of 31 5/8’’, to allow for adjustments on site.
  • Its consistent quality, due to the fact that all joists are individually tested during manufacturing.
  • The possibility to improve the performance of TRIFORCE® joists by adding strongbacks at mid-span, which helps reduce vibration.
