All Four Lead to the Same Nolan Solution.

Other repair products may require you to identify the exact damage type and purchase a different plate for each condition. The Nolan Joist Repair Kit uses one consistent engineered strap system for qualifying holes, notches, plumbing cuts, and other localized damage in solid-sawn floor joists.

04

Engineering Support

Backed by current design, installation, and sizing documents for qualifying conditions.

Choose Your Joist Repair Kit

The repair system stays consistent. The strap length changes to suit the qualifying damage dimensions, required connection into sound wood, and nearby obstructions.

Choose by damage—not joist depth alone. The correct strap must extend far enough beyond the damaged area to develop the required connection in qualifying sound wood. Review the sizing reference and product criteria before ordering.

Engineering and installation

Know Before You Order

Top- or bottom-flange damage requires a flange-specific solution or applicable project engineering.

Joist repair FAQ

Questions to Answer Before You Buy

What types of damage can the Nolan Joist Repair Kit address?

The Nolan system is intended for qualifying holes, notches, cuts, and other localized damage in solid-sawn dimensional-lumber floor joists. The existing joist and damage must satisfy the current design and installation criteria.

Which Nolan Joist Repair Strap length do I need?

Compare the damage dimensions, required connection into sound wood, nearby utilities, and the specific guidance for the available strap lengths. Joist depth alone does not determine strap length.

Can the Nolan system replace separate hole and notch plates?

For qualifying solid-sawn floor-joist conditions, the same Nolan strap system can address drilled, cut, and notched damage. Confirm the condition and required strap length against the current product documents before ordering.

Can I use a Nolan strap on an engineered I-joist?

Not under the standard solid-sawn-joist application. I-joist web and flange damage require the corresponding I-joist product or applicable project-specific engineering.

What should I measure before contacting Nolan?

Provide the joist type, actual depth, span, damage size and location, remaining wood, spacing, nearby utilities, and clear wide and close-up photographs.

Does every damaged joist fit a standard repair kit?

No. Suitability depends on the existing member, damage, loading, and installation access. Conditions outside the published criteria may require project-specific engineering or another repair approach.
