FastenMaster ICON ScrewJoist System

FastenMaster, a division of OMG, Inc., has introduced the FastenMaster ICON ScrewJoist, a hybrid deck joist system engineered to combine the strength and durability of steel with the lightness and workability of wood. According to the manufacturer, the new ICON System enables contractors to build exterior deck substructures faster, stronger, and safer than with traditional pressure treated joists. Patented ICON ScrewJoists offer a wide range of benefits when compared to traditional pressure treated lumber, including being significantly lighter for easier and safer handling on site and quicker to install without the need for metal hangers or connectors. In addition, the straighter and more dimensionally stable ICON ScrewJoists provide a consistently level deck surface without crowns or low spots. fastenmaster.com
