Preguntas Frecuentes
What joist size do I need?
Joist size depends on span distance and load type. A 2x8 typically spans 12-16 feet for residential, while a 2x10 spans 16-20 feet.
What spacing should I use?
16" on center is most common for residential floors. 12" OC provides extra support for heavy loads or longer spans. 24" OC saves materials for lighter loads.
Can I skip joists?
No, consistent spacing is required. Use blocking or rim board for end support and load distribution.
What about joist hangers?
Joist hangers are recommended for beam connection. They prevent lateral movement and ensure proper load transfer.
How do I prevent floor bounce?
Proper joist sizing, adequate support beams, and sufficient spacing prevent floor bounce. Avoid oversized spacing for your joist size.
