Engineered Wood

Engineered wood is a class of wood products that uses the process of combining wood, scrap wood, wood chips, and shredded wood adhered together with adhesive and pressure to produce products that are designed to be structurally stronger and therefore capable of supporting heavier weight loads than single pieces of dimensional lumber. There are various engineered wood products all using different techniques to create products for a variety of needs.

-LVL (Laminated Veneer Lumber) are wood veneers bonded together by a structural adhesive to create a solid piece. LVL can support heavier loads requiring less support and allowing for larger gap spans.

-Rim board is manufactured from flaked wood strands combined with an adhesive and pressed. Like LVL, LSL can support heavier loads than traditional solid pieces. LSL is commonly used for beams, headers, studs.

-I-Joist is primarily used in floor and roof construction. Carries heavy loads with less lumber than solid wood joist. Advantages to I-Joist is they will not bow, crown, twist, or shrink which helps eliminate squeaky floors.
