Trusses, Joists and Wall Panels
OPEN JOIST®
OPEN JOIST is an engineered, open-web floor truss made without metal fasteners. Wide nailing flanges and open webs allow for concealed installation of electrical, plumbing, and HVAC systems. Available in a variety of depths, OPEN JOIST offers superior strength and load-carrying capability.
Roof Trusses
With truss construction, the only limit to what you can build is your imagination. Our roof trusses reduce the “variables” of building, because they're designed according to your specifications. And you save valuable time by using these pre-assembled trusses instead of constructing roof trusses on-site.
Wall Panels
Like our other engineered wood products, our wall panels save you time, money, and guesswork. All of our wall panels are developed by skilled technicians using sophisticated computer modeling software. The result is building components precision fitted to exact job specifications. You'll receive a layout for a complete wall system with framed-in openings for windows, doors, and headers, exactly as detailed on the plans.
Plated Floor Trusses
Universal is your best resource for superior, cost-effective plated floor trusses. Our open-web trusses are custom-made to fit exact specifications, so you won't have to cut them on the job. As with Open Joist, our plated trusses' open-web configuration allows builders to easily install mechanical systems.
I-joists
Universal carries a complete line of I-joists for all applications—from solid-sawn flanges to LVL flanges. Stronger, straighter, and more consistent in quality than dimension lumber, our I-joists are lightweight and yield less waste during installation.
