BCI Joists
Boise Cascade BCI Joists
Give your customers the quiet, stable floors they want without sacrificing the strength, spans, and ease of handling you need.
Product Overview
High-performance floors start with BCI® Joists. With 20% greater strength than comparably-sized dimensional lumber, BCI Joists allow for long spans with little to no twisting, shrinking, or bowing. The result? Consistency and performance from piece to piece, keeping homes square, floors flat and quiet, and — most importantly — the builder’s reputation intact.
Available in standard depths ranging from 9 ½″ to 20″ providing the long spans needed for your next project.
