On spin cycle, front load can reach 1000 rpm and greater. Want to reduce vibration throughout structure. Intention would be to install IBS connectors across span of 2x10 SPF. Renovation pending.

If this is not done, the bridging system would only function when increased load causes additional deflection. I would want the bridging to absorb the stress that caused the orignial sag. In effect, this would destress the beam [joist] and then spread that load across the entire system through the bridging, when the jack[s] are removed. Need some engineering imput here.

After considering a number of solutions to fix this problem, I decided to go with the Luxor IBS2000 interlocking manufactured bridging system from Luxor Industrial Group. Installing the system was a breeze and the results were a greatly improved structural integrity of the floor after only one day of installation labor. A cost effective and easy solution to a common problem in floor renovation, as a contractor I recommend the IBS2000 interlocking bridging system.

The joists are one length spanning two rooms ( family room and kitchen ). I can relate to this situation. I was standing in the family room while my wife and children were in the kitchen. When my children ran across the kitchen floor, I actually felt their movement in the family room. And I was not standing directly across from them. Just recently built a house with 14″ deep i-joists.

Check the bearings on the sagging trusses that you have. In response to Seiko. Please see June 29 reply.

I have noticed that in parts of the floors, the joists have sagged. It is not bouncy. When you walk on those areas, it feels like the joist is moving down. For my situation, is the IBS bridging worth evaluating to fix my issue? FYI, the areas are in the living and dining rooms.;. All the best!! I have floor trusses in my floors built in the 1990’s.

They might be cut ( not attached )or they might be tying in only a few trusses. You can the IBS; however you should use it for the entire area, not just in the area where you have the sag.
