FAQs

What is floor joist deflection, and why is it important?

Floor joist deflection refers to the amount a floor bends or bounces when weight is applied. Building codes have a maximum deflection limit (typically 14mm) to ensure a safe and comfortable walking experience. Exceeding this limit can lead to a bouncy floor that feels unstable.

What is the benefit of using joists with lower deflection?

At ETS, we prioritise long-term performance and user experience. Joists designed with lower deflection (meaning they bend less) create a firmer, more stable floor with minimal bounce. This translates to a higher quality product with greater comfort and peace of mind.

How do I know what level of deflection is right for my project?

Our designers will always discuss your deflection requirements and clearly indicate the designed deflection on the project drawings. We recommend discussing your needs and opting for a lower deflection whenever possible for a superior floor experience.
