Steel Floor Joists | Redhead Steel


Cold-formed steel floor joist framing laid out on a Redhead Steel commercial construction site.

Strong, Straight, and Engineered for Modern Construction

Steel floor joists provide a durable and precision-engineered alternative to traditional wood floor framing. Manufactured from light gauge structural steel, these joists deliver consistent strength, long spans, and resistance to common building problems like warping, termites, and moisture damage.

At RedHead Steel, our steel floor joist systems are designed to support residential, multi-family, ADU, and commercial projects with faster installation and long-term structural performance.

Why Use Steel Floor Joists?

  • Superior Strength - Steel joists are engineered to handle greater loads and longer spans compared to traditional wood framing.

  • Perfectly Straight - Unlike wood, steel does not twist, warp, shrink, or split, ensuring perfectly level floors.

  • Termite & Pest Resistant - Steel framing eliminates damage caused by termites, carpenter ants, and other pests.

  • Fire Resistant - Steel is a non-combustible material, improving building safety.

  • Moisture Resistant - Steel floor systems are not affected by humidity, mold, or rot.
