Joist & Girders
What is a Joist?
A lightweight, prefabricated open-web steel joist—a truss in beam form—whose open-web design makes it an ideal solution for roof and floor/deck systems in industrial, commercial, and multi-story buildings. It provides reliable, efficient support; these steel members offer exceptional strength, enabling wide, safe spans.
At TEMSA, we are Steel Joist Institute (SJI)–certified to manufacture joists and joist girders. This certification endorses our expertise and quality in producing these key structural elements. Our commitment to the highest manufacturing standards enables us to deliver durable, precise, high-performance joists for all types of projects.
Our products are designed with specialized software in compliance with the applicable SJI standards.
We offer products of the highest quality on the market.
In our joist and joist girder manufacturing line, we apply as standard a shop-applied gray anticorrosive dip coat to ensure greater protection. We can provide different coating systems, including hot-dip galvanizing.
We manufacture the following SJI joist series:
- K Series
- LH Series
- DLH Series
