The open-web design of steel joists and joist girders introduce a range of cost and performance advantages: reducing project weight; allowing for seamless integration of mechanical, electrical, and plumbing (MEP) systems; and making erection easier and faster. Individually and combined, those benefits save time and money.
With a wide range of joist options that can be custom fabricated to specification, Hexa Steel USA has the right product to help architects and engineers bring their unique vision to life.
Standard steel joists and joist girders are crucial, tried-and-true components of your roofing and flooring building system. Our joists and girders are engineered and manufactured in accordance with the specifications of the Steel Joist Institute.
Joist girders serve as primary framing members with simple spans to support concentrated loads for a roof or floor system. These concentrated loads often include standard steel joists that are in turn supporting steel roof or floor deck.
K-Series joists are efficient elements in a steel structure (roof & floor). Their open-web configuration gives you space to conceal pipes, electrical, and plumbing, which can reduce height, adding value to your project. They possess an exceptionally high strength-to-weight ratio in comparison with other building materials.
K-Series Joists are standardized regarding depths, spans and load-carrying capabilities. There are 63 separate designations, representing joist depths from 10 inches through 30 inches in 2 inch increments and spans through 60 feet. Standard K-Series Joists have a 2 ½ inches end bearing depth so that, regardless of the overall joist depths, the tops of the joists lie in the same plane.
LH-Series joists are designed to support larger loads and are typically used where longer spans and special profiles (such as gable joists and arched joists) are needed in varying conditions.
DLH-Series joists, also known as Deep Long-span joists, are used for longer span conditions that need to support larger loads. They vary in depths from 52” through 120” and spans up through 240’ and allow for special profiles to accommodate a variety of conditions.
Our mission is to support the commercial & industrial growth of South Texas by developing & manufacturing Steel Joists & Joist Girders.
