IFT has specialised in pre-nailed frames, trusses and related products since 1998. We know how builders and developers work, we understand their challenges, and we take pride in giving them the highest quality frames and trusses, every time. We source stress-graded New Zealand timber from respected suppliers and skillfully transform it with modern software and automated factory technology into framing you can trust.

Structural Beams - Flitch Beams
The GANG-NAIL FLITCH BEAM is a composite beam formed with a steel plate sandwiched between timber. The beam is manufactured with shot fired nails, fired through the timber into the steel. The use of the GANG-NAIL FLITCH BEAM system eliminates the variations in timber performance and allows large openings to be spanned, such as garage doors, while keeping the lintel depth to an acceptable minimum. Each beam is custom-made to measure and can be cambered to suit the application.
