about us
Because Northland Steel is not involved directly in the manufacturing of steel joists and metal decking, we act as independent brokers able to deal with multiple manufacturers. This relationship allows us to obtain the best possible combination of pricing and scheduling.

Preparation of bids, shop drawings, order checking and delivery scheduling are all done in-house. This allows us to maintain complete control of your project from start to finish. No more dealing with manufacturing plants in faraway locales.

With Northland Steel, the status of your project is one phone call away »

Steel Joists — also known as Bar Joists & Open Web Joists
The use of steel joists in the framing of floors and roofs offers huge advantages when compared to wood truss and steel beam systems. Steel joists easily handle spans that wood systems cannot handle while their lightweight construction makes them much less costly than steel beams. Steel joists range in depth from 8” to 120” and can span up to 144’.

Every open web steel joist that we supply is manufactured to exact specifications and is certified by the Steel Joist Institute (SJI), which means that you can be assured of the highest quality product.

Steel Decking — also known as Metal Deck, Floor Deck, Form Deck, & Composite Deck
Steel roof and floor decks are roll formed from sheet steel in varying configurations and can be designed to satisfy any combination of span and loading. Their lightweight and high strength-to-weight ratio make steel deck systems an economical solution to your building needs.

We offer a complete line of steel floor and roof decks in 9/16, 1, 1 ½, 2, 3, 4 ½, 6, and 7 ½-inch depths and in varying thickness. Where sound control is an issue we offer acoustical and cellular type decks as well. All steel decking that we supply is manufactured by members certified by the Steel Deck Institute (SDI), ensuring consistent quality.

"Over the past several years we have taken a 'value added' approach and teamed up with Northland Steel on several large projects, rather than deal direct with the joist and deck plants. From their detailing service to their expanded resources, the relationship has worked very well. I look forward to working with them in the future."
