Quick Tip: Framing with Engineered Wood
Professional builders agree that compared with traditional lumber, engineered wood framing proves superior time and again. Here are just a few reasons why.
Framing a house using engineered wood has many advantages. Glue-laminated beams are stronger than their conventional solid, sawn counterparts. Engineered I-joists span greater distances, and their stiffness prevents squeaky floors. Oriented strand board sheathing prevents racking and provides good nailer for siding.
