The Floor Has Beam

So we now have adequately sized floor joists and an adequately sized floor joist beam for our 24 x 13 house.

The floor has beam. In an unfinished basement the beam and jacks are typically left exposed. The floor beam itself is commonly hidden by the ceiling tiles of a finished basement while the jacks are usually boxed in and blended into the surrounding area by use of paint paneling or wallpaper. Our floor joist beam can span a maximum of 13. For example the airex foam stability balance board is waterproof and can be used in aqua aerobics.

Look for a floor balance beam that is multipurpose if you want it to do much more than just assist in gymnastics training. What if we needed to span more than that. In the table above the widest floor beam span for 12 of supported floor joists is 14 7 if using a 5 ply 2 x 12. Let s say our house is 24 x.

Though joists may be any size that you desire using typical floor joist and beam specifications ensures that you can find hardware to fit the joists and that the floor provides adequate support for furniture and other items in a room. All dimensions are to centers of beams. It also has a tear resistant covering that makes it a great choice for outdoor workouts or physical therapy sessions.

When using a steel floor beam some builders apply a bead of epoxy or strong glue under the floor joists to prevent them. The widths of the supporting beams are provided.
