What’s the Difference Between Floor Joists, Floor Trusses, and I-Joists?

In the “good ‘ol Days of homebuilding construction, there were very few options when it came to how to support a house using framing lumber. 

Today, while many area builders still rely on “tried-and-true” lumber floor joists, many builders have grown to understand the benefits of two alternate joist systems: I-Joists and Floor Trusses.

Each material has its own unique set of features, benefits as well as costs. Your choice might vary depending on a number of factors, including the overall design of your home.
