JES

Joist End Support

The JES is a two piece metal-work system which enables the use of engineered timber I-joists in loft conversions, offering a safe and economic alternative to the traditional method which requires steel girders.
It provides reinforcement to the joist ends where they are cut to fit within the
eaves of the existing roof. Each JES is supplied as 2 plates, as required for each joist end.

  • The I-joists are installed from wall plate to wall plate, which means there is no need for a costly Party Wall Agreement.
  • Steel beams can be eliminated, so there is no need for a crane, or to remove all the roof tiles.

Why Convert Lofts Using I-Joists?

  • No need to install steel girders
  • No need to hire a crane
  • I-joists installed from wall plate to wall plate
  • No need for a Party Wall Agreement
  • Light weight
  • Loft conversions also possible in timber frame houses
  • Suits roof slopes of 30° or greater

Installation

Step 1:
Use one plate as a template to mark the cut line and fastener hole positions on the end of the I-joist as shown, ensuring that the ends are flush. Remove the JES plate before cutting and drilling the I-joist.

Step 2:
Cut and drill the I-joist. Use a 6mm diameter drill bit to create the holes.

Step 3:
Securely install a JES plate on both sides of the I-joist using the M6 x 30mm Hex bolts and washers supplied.
Note the position of the lip on the JES which must be installed with the lip following the top-most edge of the adapted I-joist.

Step 4:
Position I-joist in between the existing trusses as shown, ensuring that a
minimum 90mm of end bearing is achieved.
Joist layouts will vary - please refer to engineer responsible for floor design.
