DTE Products

Posi-joists

Timber and steel joists with an open web design, eliminate costly cutting and drilling when installing services. Posijoists provide a popular alternative structural flooring system with the advantages of timber, which adds a new dimension of flexibility to construction.

An open web timber joist, such as DTE’s Posi Joist, makes it easy to install a Mechanical Ventilation & Heat Recovery system. Integrated into the structure of a floor, a MVHR system circulates fresh air whilst discharging warm, moist air outside the building.

Cassette Floors

This is a prefabricated modular floor system which brings improved productivity and increased operating safety during the construction process.

Finnjoists

Finnjoists are factory engineered from low, uniform-moisture timber and virtually eliminate floor movement, splitting and warping. Available in up to 14m lengths, Finnjoists can be delivered to you cut to size.

Spandrel Panels

Spandrel panels are structural timber frame panels made to the profile of the roof, forming the party and/or gable walls. Supplied and installed with the roof trusses, spandrels provide a fully compliant dividing wall, suitable for all standard forms of construction. They provide a sustainable, time saving alternative to building up masonry walls.

SIRS

DTE’s fully certified Structural Insulated Roofing System (SIRS) provides a ‘room in the roof’ system that makes it easy for the self builder.

Incorporating SIPS panels, roof trusses, cassette floors, and excluding purlins, SIRS is designed to make things easier for the self-builder: it is simple and quick to build; suits a variety of roof shapes; achieves long spans; provides up to 25% more floor space, and can be used with masonry, steel & timber frame.

SIRS can also reduce erection time by up to 80%

SIRS achieves all required insulation values, with the option for extra insulation to be added on site if needed.

Trusses

Trusses provide a structural frame for roof support. They deliver a flexible, practical, simple-to–erect engineered solution to roofing requirements. As they can use up to 40% less timber than a traditionally formed roof, they’re not only more sustainable, but they also deliver significant savings in cost.
