Any problem with posi joists guys? I have to quote and have never had them before. Looks too easy for me - must be a catch?!!!
TIA, Dave

as long as your cablesa are adequately supported and > 2" from ceiling/floor, easy peasy

They are as good as they look, no drilling required. Saves loads of time.

You mean you run trunking through Tel ?

 

[telectrix]

I could not believe how great it was to have these joists

Whatever you do, do not cut into woodwork though!

Why aren't things this easy?

If you have a few cables I use the metal strapping and as tell said clip to top of bottom joist I sometimes clip to bottom of top joist if floor is already down and lots of downlights to cut out in case I miss judge with the hole saw!!

MOVE your cables? You must have found a good plumber. Most plumbers would just run there hot pipes WITH your cables!

I came across these joists on a self-build I was working on. I cable tied the cables to the metal struts - about half way up - so they were well out of the way of any screws/nails through either ceiling or floor.

I did the plumbing the same way using plastic pipes - but made sure to keep the pipes well away from the cables !!!

Saved a lot of aggravation drilling etc.
