Joistmate Xtra timber joists and accessories

At Champion Timber we source, select and machine our timber in-house. Our timber is of great quality and consistent as a result. This gives you peace of mind when ordering structural timbers, such as timber joists. We can even do bespoke timber for those jobs that are a bit out of the ordinary.

Our Joistmate Xtra line of timber joists is kiln dried, pressure treated with Tanalith E and strength graded up to C24. Because we machine the timber joists ourselves we’ve got a wide range of sizes in lengths up to 6 metres.

Save time and money with Champion timber joists

The quality of our products means you’ll get straight, consistent timber joists with fewer knots. The higher strength allows you to use smaller timbers for the same spans — all within the regs. With eased edges, these timber joists are easier to handle too. That makes working at height safer and reduces your time on the job.

Flooring: sheet materials, insulation and soundproofing

For boarding out we have a full range of sheet materials suitable for flooring. We also supply thermal and sound insulation at different thicknesses to fit your build.

Insulation

Our range of insulation can fit all project budgets and requirements. Low-profile insulation boards will suit situations where you’re installing timber joists alongside existing joists. Mineral wools provide a cheaper alternative where the cavity depth allows.

Rockwool

Available in 100mm and 150mm thicknesses. Our perforated Rockwool rolls are easy to fit between timber joists with standard 400mm centres. Lightweight, fire resistant and CE/CPD compliant, Rockwool also helps absorb sound. We also stock semi-rigid Rockwool slabs at 600mm widths.

Glass fibre

Non-combustible (Class 1 Surface Spread of Flame) glass fibre has long been the insulation of choice where materials cost is a concern. We carry 100mm and 170mm thickness space saver rolls — both of which are rated as CE/CPD compliant.

Celotex insulation board

Where you need high-performance, low-thickness insulation, Celotex insulation boards are a good option. Low U values make insulation boards around twice as effective as equivalent mineral wool options. We supply Celotex insulation boards as 2400mm x 1200mm sheets in a range of thicknesses. Lightweight and easy to cut to size, Celotex boards are rated as Class 1 for Surface Spread of Flame and CE/CPD compliant.

Sheet materials for flooring

OSB board

Available as straight-edged 2440mm x 1220mm boards or TG4 half sheets.

Plywood
