Engineered Wood products, and specifically I-Joist, offer advantages over conventional lumber products that result in savings for the builder and long-term performance benefits for the homeowner.

I-Joist are installed using traditional framing tools and fasteners. With long lengths, I-Joist are used in multiple span applications, therefore reducing cutting, overlapping, and material waste on jobsite.

LVL (Laminated Veneer Lumber) are ideal for floor beams, garage door headers, window and door headers, and ridge and hip beams. They deliver solutions where construction design calls for long unsupported spans.
