The Joist Pocket Liner® is a high-density, polyethylene component
used to form pockets (block outs) in foundation walls, so that the
ends of each floor joist can be supported directly by the foundation
wall. This system provides labor and material savings over conventional
methods of joist support.
JPLs are made in different depths and widths, to accommodate various
sizes of I-joists and dimensional wood joists. For more information
regarding I-joist Compatibility, see the I-Joist Compatibility Tables
found under
Technical Support.
No More Squeaky Floors
The Joist Pocket Liner® pocket is an amazing new building product
that eliminates squeaks at the foundation wall. The pockets
are a snap to install and save time and money by reducing framing
time and homeowner callbacks.
Quick and Easy Installation
Joist Pocket Liners® are installed on the grade line of the
foundation with two pre-installed nails. After the concrete cures
and the foundation form panels are removed, the pockets remain in the
concrete. Simply tap out the top tab of the Joist Pocket Liner®
and drop in your floor joist.
