Floor Systems
Phoenix Building Components offers Floor Systems that provide architectural versatility for the layout of your project. With greater spans than traditional floor framing and a variety of depths available the strength of engineered floors allow for better room placement without having to use support posts or bearing walls in inconvenient places. Find detailed information below and ask us about designing your home with a Phoenix Floor System.
