FLUSH FRAME JOISTS

JOIST FLUSH FRAME CONNECTIONS

Vulcraft’s Flush Frame Connections are modernizing steel joist floor systems. Recent research shows that our Flush Frame Connections significantly mitigate floor vibration* making your building safer and more comfortable. Designed to reduce floor-to-floor heights, simplify MEP installation, and accelerate deck installation, Flush Frame Connections also combine the strength of a wide flange beam connection with the lightweight advantages of an open web joist.

As the name implies, Vulcraft’s Flush Frame Connection places the joist’s top chord flush with the girder’s top flange, bolting the joist plate to a shear tab on the girder. These connections are another example of how Vulcraft’s steel joist floor systems provide more options and less vibration.
