I-joist
Lightweight structural beam
An I-joist is an engineered wood beam shaped like the letter I in cross-section—a thin vertical web sandwiched between horizontal flanges at top and bottom.
Lighter and stronger than solid lumber of comparable size, I-joists are used in floor and roof framing: The contractor specified I-joists for the second floor.
Also called I-beam joists.
