ENGINEERED LUMBER
Georgia-Pacific engineered lumber is an environmentally
responsible material and is produced from 35% less timber
and can be made from rapid-growth young trees.
Building homes presents some interesting challenges. While
lot sizes are getting smaller, many homes are getting larger
and all homeowners want to make the most of every square
foot. That means large open spaces and higher ceilings,
along with increasing demands for bonus rooms and garages
free of support posts to accommodate vehicles.The strength
and stability of the lumber we use -- GP engineered lumber --
makes it the right choice for floor and roof systems, as well
as beams and headers. Wood I Beam™ joists, GP Lam®LVL
and rim board help to ensure a solid floor system and maintain
structural integrity, resulting in firmer feeling floors. Unlike
dimension lumber, engineered lumber helps eliminate the
need for supporting posts in garages and bonus rooms,
allowing us to construct more open spaces. Plus, engineered
lumber makes it possible to maximize ceiling heights, a
popular feature of today's modern homes.
Homeowners enjoy the benefits of firm, level floors and
higher, smoother ceilings.
