Health and safety:

	CAPIT joist seals are used with joist ends built into the wall and avoid the risk of joist-hanger collapse.
	Unlike other joist seals, once the joists have been laid and battened, with CAPIT joist seals there is no need to lift the end of the joist in order to fit the seal.
	Unlike some other joist seals, CAPIT joist seals do not have large exposed flanges and tabs that cause a tripping hazard until the wall has been built around them.

Inexpensive:

	CAPIT joist seals are competitively priced.
	They avoid the costs of joist hangers, mastic and underslinging the floor.

Quick and easy:

	The CAPIT joist seal simply fits over the end of the joist in a matter of a second or two once it has been laid - no need to lift the joist.
	The CAPIT joist seal grips the end of the joist, while the wall is being built - no need for nails to hold it..
	The wall is built around the capped joist end in the conventional way.
	No need to wait for mortar to harden.
	No exposed flanges to interfere with flooring or plasterwork.
	Colour-coded for easy identification on site.

Strong:

	The joist ends are supported directly on the wall.
	No exposed flanges and tabs to impede proper tooling-in of the mortar all around the joist, front and back.

Compact:

Because of their design, CAPIT joist seals can be interleaved in their packaging, and they are devoid of large flanges and tabs to interfere with tight packing. It is estimated that a box of CAPIT joist seals occupies as little as about 15% of the volume of a box of the same number of flanged, closed-bottomed, joist seals. Less space taken up on site.

Versatile:

	Each size of CAPIT joist seal: fits any thickness of wall leaf over 85mm can be trimmed on site for smaller joist heights can be packed on site for smaller joist heights and thicknesses can be used with traditional timber joists or modern engineered I-joists and so a small product range covers all common joist sizes and types.
	Simplified stocking, specifying  and ordering.
	Greater use of left-overs.
